After 6ABC confirmed Jim Schwartz’s arrival in Philadelphia early today, many began to speculate just how soon we will hear anything relating Schwartz the position of Eagles Defensive Coordinator. We finally have our answer..
NFL Insider Peter Schrager reported that Schwartz does indeed have an interview for the position tomorrow and even more interestingly that he is the teams top target.

Adam Caplan reported the same with information coming from an anonymous source just minutes prior..it would also explain why he arrived so late. The CSI esque Eagles fans will have been constantly refreshing twitter for the latest news for a while now and many will be aware that owner Jeffery Lurie is set to have dinner with new Head Coach Doug Pederson and Howie Roseman meaning that nothing of substance would happen today.
Pederson and Howie Roseman just left the Novacare Complex together. Headed for dinner at Jeffrey Lurie's house #Eagles @6abc

Whilst a hiring may seem likely, the interview is scheduled for tomorrow so we will no doubt have more on this either in the coming hours or by this time on Tuesday.
For the latest Eagles news and rumors, stay locked in.
