The Eagles are adding a surprising youngster to their search for an offensive coordinator. The team has requested to interview Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle for their OC vacancy, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Thursday morning. Doyle, 29, was hired as the Bears offensive coordin ator last season under new head coach Ben Johnson. At the time of his hiring last year, Doyle became the youngest offensive coordinator in the league at just 28 years old. While Doyle is already an offensive coordinator, Johnson is the offensive play caller in Chicago. So this would be a promotion for the up-and-coming coach. The Eagles have been casting a wide net with this offensive coordinator search to replace Kevin Patullo. As other teams have already filled their OC positions, the Eagles are taking their time. Typically, the Eagles use these interviews to gather information, in addition to finding the best candidate for the job. So it makes sense to get in a room with an up-and-coming coach like Doyle. Even if he isn’t the guy now, he could be a coach to remember in the future. “I think knowledge is power,” Doyle said in an interview with the Bears’ website last year. “That is what the guys care about ultimately. Last year was the first time I’ve ever actually been older than all the players in my room. This is going to be my 10th year. But that’s really kinda been a part of my journey to this point. “I think players care about, ‘can you help me?’ First and foremost. ‘Can you put me in a position to be successful to help the organization and my family?’ That’s earned. You have to put in the work and earn that trust and that confidence. That’s my plan here — to hit the ground running and go to work.” In Doyle’s one season in Chicago, the Bears improved greatly and young quarterback Caleb Williams had a career season. While Johnson is going to get most of the credit for that turnaround, Doyle was there for it too. The Bears had the No. 32 offense in the NFL in 2024 and were 6th in 2025. They beat the Packers in the wild-card round before losing 20-17 to the Rams in the divisional round. Doyle has extensive experience under Sean Payton. He was Payton’s tight ends coach in Denver in 2023-24 and was an offensive assistant under Payton in New Orleans from 2019-21. Doyle stayed in New Orleans for one season after Payton stepped away in 2022. Before getting to the NFL, while pursuing his degree in business management, Doyle spent three years as an offensive student assistant at Iowa from 2016-18. ...read more read less
