PHILADELPHIA — Pat Shurmur won’t be calling plays for Case Keenum against the Patriots in Super Bowl LII now, won’t be calling 7 Heaven for Stefon Diggs, and if he gets back to the NFC Championship next year, it will be as head coach of the New York Football Giants.

For Shurmur, the lone silver lining in the cloud that covered the visiting locker room on Sunday night after Eagles 38, Vikings 7, was that the Giants are now free to make his hiring official.

He had wanted to be part of the first team to host a Super Bowl in its home stadium, but he found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time against the wrong team and the wrong town and the wrong quarterback to try to unleash more genius and more magic.

The next time we see him on game day, he expects to be whispering in Eli Manning’s ear, hoping his quarterback-friendly offense will give Manning one last chance to chase a third Super Bowl championship.

Shurmur exited a room marked “assistant coaches” and put his bag down when he stopped to talk to a small group of New York-area media. He was heading back to Minneapolis for exit meetings Monday morning, and then …

“It’s probably another time and place for that,” Shurmur said. “Just get through this. It’s disappointing to lose this way. We’ve had such a great season. It’s always like it just comes to a halt, and I think that’s the way we feel right now.”

He will more likely than not have a Quarterback of the Future to groom as well, thanks to the Giants owning the second pick of the NFL draft.

He will have more weapons at his disposal than he has had with the Vikings — Odell Beckham Jr. and Sterling Shepard and Evan Engram for certain.

It will be paramount for him to rally Beckham to his side and make Beckham respect him and his offense and help the wide receiver grow as a professional.

He will be asked to restore the pride of a broken team and the credibility of a broken franchise and hold players accountable and make losing uncomfortable again.

He will work hand in glove with new general manager Dave Gettleman to find “kick-ass” offensive linemen who can keep Manning upright and give him some semblance of a running game and an identity.

He reportedly will have a fiery, “kick-ass” defensive coordinator in fired Raiders head coach Jack Del Rio to restore order on that side of the ball.

Another time and place for that.

“I have a way of staying in the moment, so my focus was on this game,” Shurmur said.

A reporter said: “I jumped in late, I’m sorry, what’s going on?” and Shurmur smiled and said: “You didn’t miss a thing.”

He was asked if he would have a second interview with the Giants and Shurmur said: “I haven’t even really checked my phone yet, so I don’t know what’s on there.”

Tight end Kyle Rudolph raved about Shurmur.

“He’s one of the best coaches I ever played for,” Rudolph said. “They’re getting a really special coach, and as good of a coach he is, he’s an even better human being. If he is going there, we’ll miss him.

“His philosophy, if you would, was always, ‘Let’s find out what we do well and do it more often.’

“I love that man.”

Can he lead an entire team?

“Absolutely,” Rudolph said. “And I know that because our entire locker room respects him. The way that guys listen to him and follow his lead will carry over.”

The celebration for the Eagles earning a third stab at their first Super Bowl championship was raging inside the Linc and long into the night in the streets and “Fly, Eagles, Fly” undoubtedly was ringing in Shurmur’s ears in the bowels of the stadium.

On this night, the offensive explosion was ignited by the opposing quarterback, Nick Foles.

“I was with him when he threw 27 touchdowns, two interceptions, so I know he’s got it in him,” Shurmur said.

Keenum, his underarm grazed by Chris Long, was victimized by a 50-yard Patrick Robinson pick-six that tied the game in the first quarter and the floodgates opened after that.

“He was playing a typical Case Keenum game, and then we just had a couple bad plays that obviously in a game like this become magnified,” Shurmur said.

Down 14-7, Keenum marched to the Eagles’ 15 before tight end David Morgan missed a cut block on Derek Barnett, whose strip-sack resulted in a Long fumble recovery.

Shurmur was forced to abandon the run game and had no answers for the frenzied Eagles defense that fed off Foles’ brilliance and imposed its will on the night.

“When it got into a mostly throwing-type game, that’s when it really is in their wheelhouse,” Shurmur said. “They did a good job of pressuring with just four guys. We had some opportunities to score some points that we didn’t take advantage of, and then the game gets twisted like that.”

Referring to the Vikings, Shurmur said: “This team’s gonna be good. Our team’s gonna be good for a very long time.”

Except it’s not his team anymore.

Shurmur won’t soon forget this humiliation at the hands of the Eagles. As head coach of the New York Football Giants, it is now his job to make sure it never happens again.

Any message for Giants fans?

“There’s a time and a place for that,” Shurmur said. The time: sometime this week. The place: East Rutherford, N.J.
