When reports began to swirl that Frank Reich was indeed the Eagles new Offensive Coordinator, many began to wonder what the future would hold for Pat Shurmur. According to NFL Insider Adam Caplan, the answer has already been confirmed.

The Rams recently requested to interview Shurmur for their current Offensive Coordinator vacancy but now Shurmur is completely free to test the waters of available positions, there is a strong likelihood of the former Browns Head Coach finding a new home within the next few days/weeks..potentially a reunion with Chip Kelly?
Both Rick Minter and Bill McGovern have been linebacker coaches with the Eagles since 2013 and with Schwartz already finding a new DB’s assistant, it’s hardly surprising to see so many personnel moves happening so quickly. We speculated that the Eagles would be looking to make between 3-5 personnel changes in the coming weeks, they’ve almost reached that in just a few days!
It’s unclear who the replacements are going to be but a good bet would be Ken Flajole.The former Rams Defensive Coordinator was signed to a currently unnamed position according to reports but it wouldn’t be surprising to see him coach the Linebackers.
For the latest Eagles news, stay locked in.
