The Philadelphia Eagles have requested permission to interview Miami Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik for their offensive coordinator opening, according to a report from NFL insider Adam Schefter.
Here’s a snapshot of the 38-year-old’s coaching experience:
- 2011-2013 — Washington Commanders defensive assistant
- 2017-2018 — San Francisco 49ers defensive quality control coach
- 2019-2020 — San Francisco 49ers offensive assistant
- 2021 — San Francisco 49ers offensive pass game specialist
- 2022 — San Francisco 49ers offensive passing game coordinator
- 2023-2024 — Houston Texans offensive coordinator
- 2025 — Miami Dolphins senior passing game coordinator
As you can see, Slowik has experience working with Kyle Shanahan; they overlapped together for nine seasons. Slowik left Shanahan to become DeMeco Ryans’ play-calling offensive coordinator on the Texans in 2023. In his first
year on the job, Houston finished 12th in yards and 13th in points. That was significantly up from 30th and 31st in those categories, respectively, in 2022. And the Texans were starting a rookie quarterback in C.J. Stroud, who generated some MVP buzz that season.
As such, Slowik was a hot head coaching candidate and interviewed for multiple openings before ultimately remaining with the Texans. Houston then finished 22nd in yards and 19th in points in 2024 as Stroud suffered a sophomore slump. Slowik was fired after the Texans lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Wild Card round.
Slowik landed with the Miami Dolphins, where he was reunited with fellow Shanahan protege Mike McDaniel. The Dolphins’ passing offense wasn’t exactly prolific with Tua Tagovailoa having the worst season of his career and getting benched.
While he lacks a long track record of success, the Eagles could be interested in the upside that Slowik was once deemed to have. Maybe it’s worth giving him another shot.
