Doug Pederson is continuing the search for his next offensive coordinator on the Philadelphia Eagles, also confirming the reports that he is considering not hiring an offensive coordinator at all. If Pederson doesn't hire an offensive coordinator, expect wide receivers coach Mike Groh to be elevated to passing game coordinator and running backs coach Duce Staley promoted to running game coordinator. Both coaches would add those responsibilities in addition to their regular duties.

Pederson opened up on his offensive coordinator search in an interview with Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski on his SiriusXM show, Basketball and Beyond with Coach K. In Pederson fashion, he's looking at every option possible.

"I’m thinking through a lot of things and processing a lot of things right now, a lot of names," Pederson said to Krzyzewski. "I haven’t ruled out not having an offensive coordinator. But you know, as a head coach and some of the responsibilities that I have to do during the week and some of the other obligations, I’ve got to look at that too. Because that’s where your offensive coordinator can really step in.

"So, like I said, I’m processing a bunch of things. I’m not going to rush into it, I’m going to make sure it’s the right person, the right fit for what we’re doing. I think that’s important too, that that person fits the culture and his way of thinking has to coincide with the way we’re thinking and … calling the plays and go from there."

Pederson mentioned he has groomed Groh and Staley into taking those vital positions down the line, which reaffirmed both in-house candidates are the front runners to take over the position...should Pederson hire an offensive coordinator.

The Eagles are in no rush to fill the position, which indicates the longer Pederson waits...the more likely solution he'll have will be to not have an offensive coordinator in 2018.
