Josh Grizzard says he’s excited after joining the Eagles coaching staff

Josh Grizzard is set to bring his offensive background into the Philadelphia Eagles’ coaching operation after the organization moved to add him to its staff. In an update released by the team, Grizzard described the excitement of joining the Eagles environment and emphasized how the interview process gave him a clearer sense of how the club operates on a day-to-day basis.

Grizzard comes to Philadelphia after serving as the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last season. That assignment placed him in charge of coordinating the Buccaneers’ offense, a responsibility that typically includes play-calling direction, weekly game planning, and the overall structure of the passing and running attack.

According to the Eagles’ release, Grizzard first connected with Philadelphia following the 2025 season, when he interviewed for the Eagles role associated with his offensive coordinator experience. During that process, he said he gained a feel for the football organization, its management, and the entire team, suggesting that the conversations went beyond scheme and into how the staff and players work together.

The Eagles’ decision to target a coordinator with recent experience running an NFL offense reflects the team’s ongoing priority of building an offensive approach that can produce consistency through the season. For a franchise that expects to compete in the late-season window, the selection of a coordinator is often evaluated less by one stretch and more by how a staff establishes clarity for the offense early and sustains it as defenses adjust.

Grizzard’s own comments focus on fit and understanding, which matters in coaching transitions because coordinator changes can affect terminology, practice emphasis, and the way concepts are taught from week to week. The Eagles will now look to translate that early alignment into a functional operating rhythm for the offense, particularly during offseason work and the early part of training camp.

What to watch next is how the Eagles’ offensive identity takes shape under Grizzard’s direction, including how the staff organizes install priorities and how quickly the players communicate within the system. The team’s offseason pace and preseason execution will be the first tangible indicators of whether this transition delivers the kind of cohesion Philadelphia is seeking.
