The Philadelphia Eagles have discussed with Josh McCown a spot on their staff as a coach, and maybe as an offensive coordinator according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.

It's unclear if he was officially offered a job or it was just discussions, but McCown told the team he wasn't ready to give up on his playing career.

McCown met with coach Doug Pederson and general manager Howie Roseman after the season—which is normal—but he also met with owner Jeffery Lurie, which usually doesn't happen.

The Eagles let offensive coordinator Mike Groh and wide receivers coach Carson Walch a couple of days after the season ended. So far, the Eagles haven't had a whole lot of success finding a new offensive coordinator.

The Eagles interviewed Southern Cal offensive coordinator Graham Harrell last week but he decided to stay in California. Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban also had an interview, but he decided to stay in Baltimore.

The team wanted to interview Chiefs quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka, but they knew the Chiefs would block an interview so they never requested permission.

Eagles coach Doug Pederson is still expected to call plays, which makes the job a little less attractive for some of the coaches they have went after.

It's unclear what direction the team plans to go now, but if they really feel McCown has what it takes to be an offensive coordinator they should try to convince him to retire and get into coaching. He has a good relationship with Carson Wentz and seems like a great candidate for the job.
