The simplest explanation is usually the best explanation

This feels like an Occam’s Razor moment for the Eagles.

Mike McDaniel, reportedly one of Philadelphia’s top targets to run the offense in 2026, didn’t just choose the Los Angeles Chargers. He never even interviewed for the position, perhaps because the team couldn’t get him to even agree to a sit down.

What does it say? What does it mean?

For starters, this job clearly isn’t as attractive as we want to imagine. When the top offensive mind on the market says “thanks, but no thanks!” something is amiss.

But perhaps it’s less about five or six reasons why the 2026 Eagles offensive coordinator job isn’t great and more about one simple reason for McDaniel.
