But Texans are also interested in the Los Angeles defensive coordinator
The defensive coordinator of Los Angeles Rams, Brandon Staley, which will face Green Bay Packers in the divisional round, he has and Philadelphia Eagles waiting for him at the end of this season, according to league sources.
The Eagles have already been given permission to interview Staley at the right time, which could be Sunday if the Rams do not advance.. Staley will join the list of candidates for head coach that the Eagles are already considering, as they have spent the week conducting interviews.
Eagles are attracted to Staley and the reputation he built during his year as Sean McVay’s defensive coordinator in Los Angeles, as well as the skills he demonstrated in Denver with Vic Fangio.
The Eagles aren’t the only team interested in Staley. The Houston Texans also received permission to interview.there is a connection there.
Staley was a coach at John Carroll University, a school attended by the new Texan general manager Nick Caserio. The two have a strong relationship and maybe Caserio’s presence could help attract Staley to Houston.
But the Eagles want to talk to Staley; they made it known. He is one of their top candidates and, depending on what happens on Saturday, could have a chance to meet soon with the NFC East team looking to fill the vacancy of head coach he created last week when Doug Pederson was fired.
