Eagles reportedly considering familiar face to replace Kevin Patullo

Key Highlights

• Kafka was the offensive coordinator and interim head coach of the New York Giants in 2025. With the Giants finalizing a deal to make John Harbaugh their next head coach, Kafka seemingly has no role in New York.
• Kafka joined the Giants as offensive coordinator in 2022, and held that role, on top of interim head coach duties, until the end of 2025.

• Additionally, Kafka was a fourth-round pick of the Eagles back in 2010 and spent two seasons with the team. In 2021, Kafka's first year as the offensive coordinator in New York, the Giants had unprecedented success and made it to the postseason.
• Quarterback Daniel Jones had his most productive season, throwing for 3,205 yards and 15 touchdowns. It's been a rough few seasons since then for Kafka and the Giants, but the roster hasn't exactly been loaded with talent.
• Quarterback Jaxson Dart impressed at times under Kafka in 2025, and there's reason to believe the coach could succeed in a different environment. Kafka and Zac Robinson are the two candidates who have interview for the job so far, but the Eagles are casting a wide net.
