The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback coach search tied to Jalen Hurts is officially underway, as the team explores both a rising young assistant and a proven veteran while continuing its offensive reset under new coordinator Sean Mannion.
According to Ari Meirov of My Sports Update, the Eagles are interviewing Cardinals pass-game specialist Connor Senger for their quarterbacks coach position.
At the same time, NBC Sports reports that veteran coach Greg Olson is also a name to watch, with strong ties to Mannion.
Together, the developments signal a clear priority for Philadelphia.
The Eagles must find the right quarterback coach to pair with Jalen Hurts after another season of offensive inconsistency and continued staff turnover.
Eagles Expand QB Coach Search With Rising Young Candidate
At just 30 years old, Senger represents the upside play.
He most recently served as the Arizona Cardinals’ passing game coordinator and has quickly built a reputation as one of the league’s up-and-coming offensive minds.
His profile is especially interesting for Philadelphia because he does not have prior ties to the Eagles’ staff, suggesting the team is casting a wider net than usual.
There are also subtle connections worth noting.
Senger served as the offensive coordinator for the East team at the East-West Shrine Bowl, while Mannion coached the West squad.
That shared evaluation setting offered both coaches a firsthand look at how the other operates.
Senger has also interviewed for the Bears’ offensive coordinator job and quarterback coach roles with the Bills and Packers, underscoring his growing league-wide appeal.
For an Eagles offense built around Hurts, Senger’s background in quarterback development and passing concepts would be an ideal fit.
Veteran Option Highlights Urgency Around Hurts’ Development
While Senger represents the future, Olson would bring immediate experience.
The 62-year-old has coached quarterbacks across the league for more than two decades and previously worked directly with Mannion during their time together with the Rams and Seahawks.
Olson’s résumé includes helping stabilize Geno Smith in Seattle and working with a young Jared Goff in Los Angeles.
Those stops matter for an Eagles team that’s trying to bring stability to Jalen Hurts’ development both as a passer and as the leader of the offense.
Philadelphia moving forward with interviews strongly suggests the team is preparing to move on from current QB coach Scot Loeffler after one season.
That would make this Hurts’ sixth quarterbacks coach in seven years.
This high turnover at the QB coach position has put added pressure on this big decision.
Whether the Eagles go with an up-and-coming coach like Senger or a veteran voice like Olson, the main priority is finding the right quarterback coach to support Jalen Hurts moving forward.
