Declan Doyle withdraws name for Eagles OC positions, stays with Bears

Pretty big news, I like the continuity for Year 2 for the new offense.

Very good news

Declan realized Hurts isn’t that good throwing between the numbers.

for sure, and as the Caleb and the Bears Offense improves, so will Doyle's stock. Captaining the decline of the Eagles Offense isnt gonna get him a head coaching job.

He knows he's not ready yet, besides working for a SB winning team will get him better job opportunities in the future.

I wonder if this is one where BJ kind of encouraged him to at least put his name out so he can go through the interview process and gain experience.  Feels like BJ is one who is very comfortable in his own skin and certainly has lived the assistant coach journey so wants to be uber supportive of his coaches and this can be part of it - hey go see what else is out there, always good to know (and I support it) and at the same time, I'm hoping you'll stay but you'll also develop better experience for future interviews.

That makes a lot of sense.

We all saw Johnson himself did interviews in years where he returned to the Lions too.

I think the influence of BJ is already being respected when coaches are getting attention in his first year. It's going to get worse the more successful we become. That's a good thing, because it also will bring in good replacements.

Not so fast, it looks like Baltimore has reached out for their OC position. I don't know if Doyle is a good fit there with a vet QB, and older skill position players in Andrews, Hopkins, and Henry.

Lamar Jackson just got his coach fired.  Do not go there.
