Well, the Philadelphia Eagles have an interview scheduled, but it's for a job already filled. At least fans think it is still filled.

The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov reported that the Eagles will be interviewing Arizona Cardinals pass game specialist Connor Senger for the quarterbacks coach job. Senger has been on the Cardinals coaching staff since 2022, starting with the Bill Bidwell Fellowship, and has slowly moved up the coaching ladder over the years.

Scot Loeffler has been the Eagles' quarterbacks coach for the 2025 season, and half left being a head coach at Bowling Green to take the job in Philly. The team has not announced whether Loeffler is still in that position or has been let go.

Eagles interviewing Connor Senger shows something happened behind closed doors

It was initially reported that new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion was speaking with the current offensive staff before meeting with head coach Nick Sirianni to determine whether to keep them or let them go. Nothing has been officially reported about who is staying and who is going, but this certainly feels like Loeffler has been replaced.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, as Mannion is going to want to bring in some of his own people to run the kind of offense they want. If he figures out they are not a scheme fit for what he wants, Mannion has to make changes to ensure he gets the right people in place.

Senger is a fascinating name to monitor as he is interviewing for the Chicago Bears' offensive coordinator job. He also interviewed for the Buffalo Bills' and Green Bay Packers' quarterbacks coach openings.

This is the first sign that Mannion is putting his fingerprints on this offense as he looks to retool parts of the coaching staff. It's only a matter of time before more changes come to the Eagles' offense.
