Philadelphia Eagles to Interview Former Buccaneers OC Josh Grizzard, Report Suggests

The Philadelphia Eagles are expected to conduct an interview with former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard on Monday. This marks the latest development in the Eagles' ongoing search for a new head coach.

Grizzard, who was recently let go by Bucs head coach Todd Bowles after just one season as the team's play caller, has a solid coaching background that spans over seven years with the Miami Dolphins and another stint with Duke University. He joined the Buccaneers last year as pass game coordinator, where he helped the team rank third in passing offense.

Although Grizzard only spent two seasons under Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel before joining the Buccaneers, his experience will undoubtedly be valuable to the Eagles' coaching staff. One of the key factors that may have led to his dismissal from the Bucs was the significant decline in scoring performance after he took over as play caller. In the 2024 season with Grizzard as pass game coordinator, the Bucs ranked third in passing offense; however, when Grizzard became the head coach in 2025 and then OC for just a short period of time that same year (a part-time stint), they fell to 18th overall in scoring.

Despite these issues, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni may have seen some potential in Grizzard's work during their Week 5 matchup. The Bucs lost the game 31-25 but managed to outscore them 19-7 after halftime. This could provide an opportunity for Grizzard to demonstrate his skills under a new coaching umbrella.

With multiple candidates still vying for the job, it remains to be seen if the Eagles will take a chance on Grizzard or continue their search elsewhere. The interview is expected to provide further insight into his qualifications and whether he can help drive the team towards success in the future.
 
🤔 I'm not sure why the Eagles are giving Josh Grizzard another shot, ya know? He had some major issues as head coach last year 🤦‍♂️, especially with scoring performance. Like, what was going on? It's one thing to have a solid background, but if you can't even get that right, it's hard to trust him fully 🙅‍♂️.

I mean, I like the idea of him coming in and shaking things up, but we need someone who can bring stability and consistency to the team ASAP 💪. We've seen what happens when you make too many changes at once – it's chaos 🌪️! I just hope Nick Sirianni is doing his due diligence on this interview and isn't just trying to fill a void 🤷‍♂️.

One thing that does intrigue me, though, is that he did show some promising signs during their Week 5 matchup 😊. Maybe there's something to be built upon there? We'll just have to wait and see how the interview goes 📚👀
 
idk why eagles havent gone after some of the older coaches they had before bowles tho 🤔 maybe grizzard got a good rep from that one game against them? still think sirianni made a mistake not pursuing dawg staley or matt lauerhane, two guys who did more with less on their teams.
 
I'm curious to see how this interview plays out 🤔. I mean, Josh Grizzard's background is pretty solid - seven years of experience under different coaches, including some time at a top-tier university like Duke 🏈. He's been around the block a few times and has had some success with the Bucs as their pass game coordinator. But, yeah, his stint as head coach didn't exactly go swimmingly... 🤦‍♂️ 18th in scoring is not something to be proud of, right? 😬 Still, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni seems to have seen something in him that might've been missed by the Bucs. That Week 5 matchup was a close game and Grizzard's team managed to outscore them after halftime, so maybe he can build on that momentum under new management 🔄. Either way, I'm sure we'll get a better sense of whether or not he's the right fit for the Eagles soon enough 💬.
 
idk about this one 🤔. seems like grizzard had a decent run with the buccaneers, but fell off a cliff when he became head coach for that short stint. what's going to convince sirianni that he's the right guy? 🤑 is it just because of that 1 game where they outscored them in the 2nd half? i'm not sure if grizzard's experience will be enough to make up for his flaws as a coach... 😐
 
🤔 So I think this is an interesting development for the Eagles, right? They've had some issues with scoring lately and if Grizzard's experience as a pass game coordinator could be a solution... it's worth a shot. But at the same time, he was let go by Bowles after just one season, so there are some red flags there too. 📉

I mean, 3rd in passing offense is definitely a positive, but then that decline as head coach doesn't look great. Still, it's not like Grizzard has zero experience or accomplishments - he's got a solid track record with the Dolphins and at Duke. So yeah, I think an interview could be just what they need to get a better sense of whether he's the right fit for their system. 👀
 
🤔 I think Josh Grizzard would be a solid hire for the Eagles, but it's also gotta be real - those numbers with the Bucs were pretty rough 📉. Still, if he can bounce back from that and show some growth as a coach, his experience with the Dolphins might come in handy. And hey, having a young head coach like Nick Sirianni who might not have seen all of Grizzard's potential yet could be a good thing 😊. The key is to see what kinda game plan he'd run and if it fits our team's style ⚽️.
 
🤔 I think this could be a game-changer for Josh Grizzard! He's got some amazing experience under his belt, and if the Eagles are willing to give him another chance, it could pay off big time 🤑. I mean, he helped the Bucs rank 3rd in passing offense last year, so that's definitely worth exploring further 🔍. Plus, Nick Sirianni seemed to notice something in their Week 5 matchup that got me curious 👀. Let's hope Grizzard gets a fair shot and proves himself all over again 💪🏽!
 
Ugh, another coaching change 🤯... I mean, can't they just stick with what works? 😩 They're like a seesaw, one day up, next day down. Josh Grizzard's got some decent experience under his belt, but that Bucs stint was a total disaster 💥. 18th in scoring is no joke! 🤕 I don't get why they're interviewing him now, considering how poorly he performed as head coach. Is it because Nick Sirianni saw something we didn't? 🤔 Like what? Maybe Grizzard's got some magic sauce hidden up his sleeve... but I'm not holding my breath 😂
 
I think Grizzard would be a great fit for the Eagles! 🤔 He's got some serious coaching cred under his belt, especially with the Dolphins and Duke University. I mean, who wouldn't want to work with a coach who's helped teams rank top 3 in passing offense? 😎 But yeah, that decline after he took over as head coach was pretty rough... I guess you could say it was a bit of a growing pains moment for him? 🤦‍♂️ Still, the fact that Sirianni saw potential in him during their Week 5 matchup is definitely a plus! Maybe this interview will be the push he needs to prove himself? 💪 Let's see what goes down on Monday...
 
🤔 I'm surprised they're even considering Josh Grizzard for the job, considering how things went out with him at the Bucs... 🙄 I mean, that decline in scoring performance after taking over as head coach was pretty significant. And let's be real, he only lasted a few months as OC too... 🤷‍♂️ Still, you never know, maybe he'll surprise everyone and show what he's really capable of. The Eagles do need someone to shake things up around here, so if Grizzard can bring that winning mentality, who knows? 😊 But I gotta say, I'm a bit skeptical... 🤔
 
🐱 So I'm thinking, why is Josh Grizzard's first coaching job being considered now? Wasn't he just let go from the Bucs after one season? 🤔 And what made them decide to fire him so quickly? I mean, his experience as pass game coordinator was pretty good... 3rd in passing offense and all that. 😊 But then when he became head coach for a hot second, their scoring plummeted. Hmm, interesting...
 
🤔 so like what's up with this guy grizzard? i mean, he had some good stats with the bucs but then they kinda tanked when he became head coach 📉 did he just not get it right or was it something else? also, why is it that the eagles keep interviewing old coaching dudes? can't they find someone fresh out of school or something? 🤷‍♀️ i guess only time will tell if grizzard's skills are legit 👀
 
🤔 so i think this could b interesting for grizzard, i mean he has some great experience under his belt, especially with the buccaneers last season 🏈. but like you said, there wuz a pretty big decline in scoring after he became the head coach, which might raise some red flags 💡. still, eagles coach sirianni saw something in him that made them wanna talk to him, so maybe grizzard just needs a fresh start ⚠️? i dunno, but it'll be cool 2 see how this whole thing plays out 🎥
 
🤔 I'm not sure about this one... Josh Grizzard seems like an interesting guy, but with that 18th place scoring mark under his belt for a short stint as head coach OC, I'm kinda skeptical if he's the right fit for Philly 🏈💦 If they want to turn things around, maybe someone with more experience in getting their team out of a rut would be a better bet? 🤷‍♂️
