The Philadelphia Eagles have a finalist for the DC opening
The Philadelphia Eagles are dealing with one negative side of NFL success this offseason. Finding assistant replacements. The Eagles lost their offensive and defensive coordinators to teams that offered them head coaching positions. After early interviews, the Eagles now have a finalist for the defensive coordinator job.
The Eagles recently announced one candidate, Jim Leonhard, is out of the race for the job. Now the team is looking at a candidate with NFL defensive coordinator experience to replace Jonathan Gannon.
According to Ian Rapoport with the NFL Network, Sean Desai will have a second interview with the Eagles. He’s currently the Seattle Seahawks associate head coach and defensive assistant.
