Philadelphia could have not one but two new coordinators in 2026.

We know the Philadelphia Eagles will have a new offensive coordinator in 2026. Will they have a new special teams coordinator, too?
The Birds have granted permission to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to interview Michael Clay for the same role that he already has in Philly, according to a report from NFL insider Mike Garafolo.
It’s an interesting and unexpected development.
If the Bucs decide to hire Clay, he’ll seemingly be gone.
But what happens if the Bucs don’t hire him? Are the Eagles just going to keep him or will they look to move on?
We’ll see.
The Eagles originally hired Clay in 2021. At the time, he was the youngest coordinator in the NFL at just 29 years old.
There have been mixed results during Clay’s tenure. The Eagles had some serious special teams struggles in 2022, for example, but then things got better in 2023. The last two years have been up and down but clearly not so bad to prohibit a Super Bowl victory in 2024.
Some might point to Jake Elliott’s struggles over the past two seasons but I’m not really sure Clay has a ton to do with his kicker’s volatility.
Anyway, this is a situation to keep an eye on.
