This week, the New Orleans Saints are conducting interviews for their offensive coordinator position, with Philadelphia Eagles quarterbacks coach Doug Nussmeier being a key candidate, as reported by NFL expert Ian Rapoport.
This development is not unexpected; it has long been speculated that Nussmeier would join former Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in New Orleans. The pair have previously worked together at three different NFL teams.
Moreover, Nussmeier has a personal connection to the region, as his son, Garrett Nussmeier, currently serves as the starting quarterback for LSU. This connection could further motivate Doug to relocate.
As Nussmeier pursues the offensive coordinator opportunity, the Eagles will have the task of finding a new quarterbacks coach. Currently, they lack an assistant quarterback coach, creating uncertainty around Nussmeier’s potential successor. Possible candidates could include Kevin Patullo, assuming he doesn’t land the Eagles’ offensive coordinator role, or tight ends coach Jason Michael, who has experience coaching quarterbacks. Alternatively, they may opt for an external candidate.
With Nussmeier’s interview for the Saints’ offensive coordinator and Christian Parker exploring their defensive coordinator position, it appears that Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff might see the departure of two prominent assistants.
