The Philadelphia Eagles didn't need much time to find an assistant wide receivers coach, but head coach Doug Pederson went outside the country to make this hire. According to TSN's Davis Sanchez, the Eagles hired Edmonton Eskimos offensive coordinator Carson Walch to the staff. Walch was hired to become the next assistant wide recievers coach.

Walch was the receivers coach with the Eskimos for two seasons, taking over the offensive coordinator role in 2017. He coached Adarius Bowman to 120 catches for 1,761 yards and nine touchdowns in 2016 and Brandon Zylstra to a league-leading 1,687 receiving yards in 2017.

Carson Walch is the Eagles new assistant wide receivers coach, per report.

Walch has a connection to Groh, serving as the assistant wide receivers coach with the Chicago Bears in 2013 and 2014. Groh was the Bears wide receivers coach during that span. Walch also has a connection to Alshon Jeffery, who played for the Bears during that span.

With Walch on the staff, the Eagles will need to fill their wide receivers coach vacancy and assistant quarterback coach vacancy.
