The latest candidate eliminated from the Eagles’ offensive coordinator search

The list of candidates continues to dwindle.

Monday previously brought us news of two Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator candidates being eliminated from the team’s search.

LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr. and Chicago Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle are reportedly no longer in play.

Now we have a third name to cross off the Eagles’ list: Mike Kafka.

The former New York Giants offensive coordinator and interim head coach is joining the Detroit Lions in a “high-ranking offensive staff role,” according to a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

News of the Eagles’ interest in Kafka emerged about a week ago; it was said that the team interviewed him for their OC opening.

With Kafka off the board, here’s a look at the Eagles’ remaining known options:

  • Former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith
  • Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard
  • Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter
  • Former Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Matt Nagy
  • Houston Texans quarterbacks coach Jerrod Johnson

Plus maybe former New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll.
