Report: Eagles held a 2nd interview with former Bucs OC Josh Grizzard

[ASFN Admin]

The Eagles are in Week 3 without an offensive coordinator, but the team appears to have slimmed the list down to three final candidates. Jim Bob Cooter, Sean Mannion, and now the team are slated to interview former Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard for a second time, Jordan Schultz reports. Tampa Bay fired the first-year offensive coordinator as part of a series of changes to the coaching staff last Thursday.

Grizzard was promoted to offensive coordinator last January to replace Liam Coen, who left the Bucs to become the Jacksonville Jaguars' head coach. Grizzard previously served as Tampa Bay's pass game coordinator in 2024 and was responsible for third-down play-calling, leading the league with a 50.9% conversion rate that season.

In Grizzard's lone season as offensive coordinator, the Buccaneers regressed on offense statistically in 2025, finishing 21st in the NFL in total offense despite an attack led by Mayfield, six-time Pro Bowl receiver Mike Evans, star left tackle Tristan Wirfs, and promising young running back Bucky Irving.

Tampa Bay went from averaging 28.6 points per game in 2024 with Coen to 21.4 with Grizzard, and its third-down conversion rate fell to 41.2%.
