Eagles Look to Revamp Passing Game with Former Buccaneers Coach Josh Grizzard
The Philadelphia Eagles are making a move to revamp their passing game, hiring former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard as the team's new passing game coordinator. According to reports from ESPN, this appointment comes after Grizzard interviewed twice for the vacant position of offensive coordinator, which ultimately went to Sean Mannion.
Grizzard brings a wealth of experience in coaching the offense, having played safety at Yale before transitioning to coaching. His resume boasts an impressive nine years of NFL coaching experience, including one year as an offensive coordinator with the Buccaneers last season.
The Bucs had an explosive offense under Grizzard's leadership in 2024, but took a step back in 2025 due to various injuries. While it's unclear how much of an impact Grizzard's hiring will have on the Eagles' passing game, his experience working alongside some of the league's top offenses could be beneficial.
Grizzard joins Mannion, who is relatively young and in his third year as an NFL coach. Despite Mannion's impressive coaching credentials, Grizzard brings a level of expertise that could help kickstart an Eagles offense that struggled to find its footing last season.
The appointment of Grizzard highlights the Eagles' willingness to take risks on young coaches with potential. As the team looks to revamp their passing game, this move could be just what they need to take their offense to the next level.
