US EditionEagles interested in Colts’ OC Jim Bob Cooter
- On Jan. 17, 2026, the Philadelphia Eagles requested permission to interview Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter for their OC job, NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo reported.
- After firing Kevin Patullo on Jan. 14, the Eagles began searching for a new offensive coordinator following criticism that Patullo failed to maximize Jalen Hurts' skill set during his one-season tenure.

- Alongside Cooter, Philadelphia is vetting higher-profile targets such as Brian Daboll and Mike McDaniel, while the Eagles have interviewed Mike Kafka and Zac Robinson in a busy offseason search.
