Eagles QBs Coach Press Taylor Reportedly Interviewed for Team's Offensive Coordinator Job

The Philadelphia Eagles' search for an offensive coordinator is taking a turn toward another possible in-house candidate. Eagles quarterbacks coach Press Taylor interviewed for the position on Saturday, according to ESPN's Tim McManus.

Taylor has been on the Eagles' coaching staff since 2013, and has been quarterbacks coach since 2018. He is credited as a contributor to the "Philly Special" play against the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 52.

Taylor, the brother of Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, is highly respected by the Eagles front office and has worked closely with quarterback Carson Wentz. As a former signal caller himself, Taylor threw for over 2,300 yards and 27 touchdowns at Butler Community College, and was lettered in two years at Marshall.

The Eagles are looking to replace a former in-house candidate after parting ways with Mike Groh. Groh, who was formerly the wide receivers coach, was promoted to offensive coordinator after Frank Reich took over as head coach for the Indianapolis Colts.

If Taylor is hired to replace Groh, it's a move that would carry on the pattern of position coaches being promoted to coordinator positions in head coach Doug Pederson's staff.

Taylor is accompanied by a number of outsider candidates who the Eagles have interviewed for the position. The list includes Kevin O'Connell, James Urban, Graham Harrell and Mike Kafka.
