The Eagles and head coach Nick Sirianni are on a quest to fill both coordinator openings after the Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.
Both coordinators left for head coaching positions in the NFL, with defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon leaving for the Cardinals, and offensive coordinator Shane Steichen taking over the Colts.
To fill the defensive coordinator opening, they're reportedly taking a look at one of college football's best defensive minds.
Former Wisconsin defensive coordinator turned interim head coach Jim Leonhard has interviewed for the job, Jeremy Fowler tweets today.
Leonhard spent ten seasons in the NFL as a safety with the Bills, Ravens, Jets, Broncos, Saints and Browns before starting his coaching career.
Following his last season as a player in 2014, he returned to his alma mater in Madison as defensive backs coach in 2016 before being elevated to defensive coordinator for the Badgers in 2017.
After that first season as a coordinator, Leonhard was one of five finalists for the Broyles Award, and has cemented himself as one of the top defensive minds in football since.
After a seven-game run as the team;s interim head coach, Wisconsin ultimately opted to hire to Cincinnati's Luke Fickell to lead the program, and Leonhard announced that the bowl game would be his last outing coaching for the Badgers, leaving many to wonder where he would land next.
It should come as no surprise that he's on the radar of NFL teams, and the situation in Philly may turn out to be a tempting one as they expect to compete for Super Bowl titles with a great nucleus of players.
