LeSean McCoy has played in Buffalo now for three seasons. but despite lacing up his cleats 360 miles away, the Eagles remain near and dear to his heart.
Responding to reports that Eagles coach Doug Pederson had interviewed running backs coach Duce Staley and wide receivers coach Mike Groh for the team’s vacant offensive coordinator position, McCoy has a clear preference who should replace Frank Reich.
“Duce Duce deserves it,” McCoy wrote Monday night on Twitter. “Hire Duce.”
Staley, a former Eagles running back who became a coaching intern with the team during the 2010 offseason, has been the Birds’ running backs coach since he was promoted in 2013 by then-head coach Chip Kelly.
