However, after Duce Staley was already interviewed, the Eagles also interviewed Pat Shurmur on Monday and are scheduled to interview Bears Offensive Coordinator Adam Gase today. Giving Shurmur an interview makes sense given his position as the team’s interim coach for Week 17 against the Giants, but he shouldn’t be considered a legitimate candidate for the job.
This is a guy who people were calling to be fired at the end of the year because of the Eagles’ struggles on offense. Even though he isn’t the one calling the plays, he has a say in how the offense goes.
