According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Philadelphia Eagles are adding another defensive mind to their list of potential Head Coach candidates.
The man in question is Patriots ILB Coach Jerod Mayo. He joins 49ers DC Robert Saleh, and Bucs DC Todd Bowles as the third coach from the defensive side of the ball to be highlighted. The trend is surprising given the Eagles’ current quarterback situation and shell of an offense left behind after the departure of Doug Pederson and his committee of offensive minds.
Mayo is a name that should be familiar to most.
