According to Ian Rapoport, the Eagles are planning to request an interview with Chiefs QB coach Mike Kafka for their vacancy at offensive coordinator.
However, Rapoport says Kansas City could consider blocking the interview with some kind of promotion. Eagles HC Doug Pederson calls the plays in Philadelphia, so it wouldn’t necessarily be a traditional offensive coordinator opening for Kafka.
Kafka is highly thought of by the Chiefs and viewed as the team’s next offensive coordinator when current OC Eric Bieniemy gets a head coaching position.
Kakfa, 32, is a former fourth-round pick of the Eagles back in 2010. Kafka played for a number of teams including the Patriots, Jaguars, and Buccaneers, Vikings, Titans and most recently for the Bengals back in 2015.
Kakfa worked for Northwestern as an offensive graduate assistant in 2016 before agreeing to take over as the Chiefs’ offensive quality control coach in 2017. Kansas City promoted him to QB coach in 2018.
