The Eagles have requested to interview Dolphins senior passing game coordinator Bobby Slowik for their offensive coordinator position, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on Sunday night. Slowik, 38, spent the 2025 season with the Dolphins after spending two seasons with the Houston Texans as their offensive coordinator in 2023 and 2024. Just a couple years ago, Slowik was on of the hotter names in coaching searches. Back in 2023, Slowik’s stock was at its peak after he coached rookie C.J. Stroud to an Offensive Rookie of the Year honor. The Texans that season ranked 12th in yards and 13th in points. But in 2024, things didn’t go well as the offense took a significant step back. Slowik was fired after his second season as the OC and took a job under Mike McDaniel in Miami in 2025. McDaniel was fired by the Dolphins earlier this month and himself is a hot coaching candidate this offseason. Slowik got his coaching start with Washington in 2011 under the legendary Mike Shanahan on a coaching staff that was absolutely loaded with talent. That staff included Kyle Shanahan, Sean McVay, Matt LaFleur, McDaniel and more. Slowik was actually a defensive assistant on that staff from 2011-13. Kyle Shanahan hired Slowik as a defensive quality control coach in 2017 in San Francisco but a few years later, Slowik (a college receiver) flipped to the offensive side of the football. He was the 49ers’ passing game coordinator in 2022 before making the jump to Houston as their OC. The Eagles are searching for an offensive coordinator after moving on from Kevin Patullo after just one season. Their next OC will be the fifth in six seasons under head coach Nick Sirianni. “You’re looking to continue to evolve as an offense, and I’m looking to bring in the guy that’s going to best help us do that,” Sirianni said on Thursday. “I think that there are many different ways to be successful on offense and everybody has different styles, everybody has different players, and there’s many different ways to be successful.” This is shaping up to be a rather expansive coordinator search from the Eagles. As of Sunday night, they have been linked to many candidates, including Brian Daboll, Mike Kafka, Jim Bob Cooter, Zac Robinson, Charlie Weis Jr. and Mike McDaniel. You can now add Slowik to that growing list.

A retired high school coach and his wife are being remembered by those who knew and loved them after they were killed in a crash in Harrison Township on Saturday night. Thomas Hengel, 72, and his wife, 61-year-old Lisa Hengel, both of Mullica Hill, were killed after their SUV crashed into a house just after 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 17, 2026. The family inside the house was not injured. “It’s just unfortunate what happened and its horrible for us,” said Mike Misuraco, a neighbor. “My kids and wife, to look across the street and see two empty homes right now, when yesterday morning they were full of life. Now, both lots sit empty.” Thomas Hengel was a coach at Clearview High School from 1981 until his retirement in 2025, according to Suburban Family Magazine. Hengal was known for coaching the cross country team and coached more than 100 seasons of various sports for the local high school. Hengel was also inducted into the Gloucester County Sports Hall of Fame in 2018. Former students and players of Coach Hengel have taken to social media to express what he meant to them, with a post from Andrea Eppehimer saying, in part, “Coach Hengel lived and breathed discipline (and Notre Dame football). He showed up, rain or shine, on the good days and the off days, committed to his teams with a consistency that never wavered. He didn’t just teach us how to run; he taught us how to show up for life, no excuses, no shortcuts.”

There were definitely some ups and downs, some adversity, for Jihaad Campbell in his rookie season. He acknowledged that at locker cleanout day. “But when you look back at it,” Campbell said, “the only thing that I can think about is just being grateful, being thankful for the opportunity that I earned throughout the season.” It was a bit of an unusual rookie season for Campbell. While most rookies tend to earn more playing time throughout their first seasons in the NFL, it was the opposite for Campbell through no fault of his own. Campbell, 21, began the season as a starting linebacker next to Zack Baun and showed real promise through the first six weeks of the season. But then Nakobe Dean came back, was inserted into the starting lineup and somehow played at an ever higher level than he did before tearing his patellar tendon in the 2024 playoffs. So Campbell went back to the bench. But he showed a real maturity through it all that he said comes from his parents. “I think it’s just all about controlling the things you can control and only that,” Campbell said. “I make sure that I come to this building every day with a smile on my face, with a mentality, a getting-to-work mentality, whatever it is. Having a neutral mindset of not getting too high or not getting too low. Just making sure that I’m coming in this building, I’m ready to work each and every day.” Campbell started the first eight games of the season and the last two when Dean was dealing with a hamstring injury. He went back to the bench for the playoffs and played just one defensive snap in the 23-19 loss to the 49ers. What did Campbell learn most from his rookie season? How to manage life as an NFL player. “Just going from college into the league and having to understand what’s at task, especially for a first-round rookie,” Campbell explained. “It’s not like I got time and just sit the bench and relax. No. It’s time to actually work, it’s time to learn, it’s time to grow right now. It’s no shortcuts to it. It’s all about continuous improvement each and every day and just wanting to be better, the best version of yourself each and every day.” The Eagles will have a tough decision to make this offseason because Dean is set to become a free agent in March after playing out his four-year rookie contract. While Vic Fangio would probably love to have Dean back in 2026, it probably isn’t in the cards. Last offseason, the Eagles signed Zack Baun to a three-year, $51 million contract and then they used a first-round pick on Campbell. They have already invested in the linebacker position, which means Dean will probably end up elsewhere. But Campbell learned a lot from him as a rookie. “That’s a damn good football player,” Campbell said. “Learned a lot from that guy, man, from run game to blitzes and in the passing game. Really just being a baller. Being an absolute person who knows football in general. I feel like it’s hard to come around guys that really know football, really can dissect it in a simple format. That’s what he does. That’s why he’s one of the best linebackers in the world.” When Campbell was drafted, the Eagles talked up his ability to play off the edge and then Fangio used him in that role minimally in 2025. Here’s how Campbell’s snaps broke down in his rookie season, per ProFootballFocus: Linebacker: 514Edge rusher: 150Slot: 41Wide corner/safety: 6 Campbell on Monday said he’s open to playing anywhere and just wants to add value no matter where the coaching staff decides to play him. He’ll trust Fangio to put him in the right spots. After one year under the veteran DC, Campbell trusts Fangio fully. “Some of the stuff I was taught, I never really knew,” Campbell said. “It’s always good to just sit down and analyze that. Especially from a vet DC who coached greats like Patrick Willis or like Navorro Bowman. I feel like it’s always great to have a guy like that around. I know that he’s going to continue to be one of the best D-coordinators in the world.”
