Philadelphia Eagles Offensive Coordinator Marty Mornhinweg Not Heading to Oakland Raiders as Head Coach
Eagles offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg will not be the next head coach of the Oakland Raiders. Mornhinweg has been taken out of the running for the head coaching position, a source told CSNPhilly.
The source claims that the Raiders have narrowed their head coaching position to three candidates: Denver Broncos defensive coordinator Dennis Allen, Green Bay Packers assistant head coach/linebackers coach Winston Moss, and a mystery candidate.
Also eliminated from contention with Mornhinweg was New Orleans Saints offensive coordinator Pete Carmichael Jr.
Mornhinweg, 49, has been with the Eagles since 2003. He was a senior assistant, then an assistant head coach, and earned offensive coordinator duties in 2006. He has been both the assistant HC and the OC for the past six seasons, during which the Eagles set the franchise single-season record for points scored in 2008, 2009, and 2010.
Before he joined the Eagles, Mornhinweg was the head coach for the Detroit Lions for two seasons. He won just five games though, and is most remembered for choosing to kick instead of receive at the start of overtime.
There is still a possibility that Mornhinweg could head to the Indianapolis Colts as their head coach but he will likely return to the Eagles for at least one more season.
