R1 JUST IN: A KEY ARCHITECT OF NFC SUCCESS IS EYEING PHILADELPHIA — AND THE LEAGUE IS BUZZING

As the closed the season as NFC champions, league consensus was clear: the success did not come solely from star power on the field. Behind the Seahawks’ smooth, disciplined operation stood the unmistakable strategic imprint of — an offensive coordinator many analysts openly described as “50 percent of Seattle’s real strength” this season.

Throughout Seattle’s run to the top of the NFC, the offense displayed rare balance: controlling tempo, maximizing critical situations, and avoiding chaos when pressure peaked. That ability to provide structure, order, and week-to-week stability is precisely what has made Kubiak one of the most sought-after coaching minds as the season comes to a close.

And now, have emerged as the most compelling potential destination.

According to multiple sources close to the discussions, the Eagles are not pursuing Kubiak with a head coaching offer. Instead, they are proposing a different scenario: bringing him to Philadelphia as offensive coordinator, but with expanded authority, direct trust from ownership, and compensation among the highest in the NFL for the role. The objective is unmistakable — to reshape the offense at its core and chart the clearest path toward a Super Bowl.

At the center of the pursuit is . The Eagles’ owner is believed to have personally communicated a long-term vision to Kubiak, emphasizing that Philadelphia is not searching for a temporary fix or an experiment, but for a true architect capable of building a sustainable offensive identity with championship standards.

In private conversations, Kubiak has spoken candidly about his perspective:

“I chose Philadelphia not only because of what this team is building, but because I have absolute belief in the path Mr. Lurie is leading. This isn’t just a promise or a career decision — it’s a choice I’m willing to stake my entire reputation and future on. And above all, what Mr. Lurie said to me meant I didn’t need a single second to hesitate before choosing the Eagles as the next destination in my career.”

For the Eagles, this would not simply be a personnel move. It would be a statement of ambition following a season filled with criticism surrounding play-calling and offensive consistency. Philadelphia believes that a coach once viewed as “half the power” behind an NFC champion could become the defining piece that pushes them from contender to true title threat.

For Kubiak, Philadelphia represents a strategic pivot rather than a chase for a higher title. It is a move toward an organization prepared to invest trust, resources, and Super Bowl expectations into his offensive vision.

If finalized, the move would signal more than a change at offensive coordinator. It would mark a turning point in the Eagles’ offensive identity — and in a city where pressure and ambition walk hand in hand, Klint Kubiak may be the answer to the franchise’s most pressing question: how to turn potential into a genuine Super Bowl run.
