Eagles lose QB coach Bill Musgrave to Raiders

Chip Kelly will be looking for his third quarterbacks coach in three years after Bill Musgrave left Monday to become the offensive coordinator of the Oakland Raiders.

Musgrave, 47, replaced Bill Lazor last offseason after Lazor became the Dolphins' offensive coordinator. Musgrave spent one year in Philadelphia, working with quarterbacks Nick Foles, Mark Sanchez, and Matt Barkley.

Kelly praised Musgrave's work with Foles' mechanics, and the quarterbacks spoke highly of the way Musgrave coached. But Foles' production regressed with Musgrave as the quarterbacks coach. His passer rating declined from 119.2 to 79.1.

Musgrave will work for new Raiders coach Jack Del Rio. He was also Del Rio's offensive coordinator when Del Rio was the coach in Jacksonville.

The Buccaneers declined the Eagles' request to interview director of player personnel Jon Robinson for their personnel executive opening, an NFL source said.

While the Bucs didn't want to lose Robinson, it was his preference to stay in Tampa, the source said. Robinson is second in command to general manager Jason Licht and the Eagles' job is considered to be at best a lateral move.

Kelly was given authority over personnel decisions earlier this month, but former GM Howie Roseman still retains control over the salary cap and contract negotiations. The new hire would report to Kelly, but also will likely have to work with Roseman.

The Eagles have not commented during the search.

The Eagles were similarly not granted permission to interview the Chiefs' Chris Ballard earlier this month. They did meet with the Texans' Brian Gaine last week, but he was promoted to director of player personnel before a second interview and will stay in Houston.

The only other reported interview the Eagles had was with Chris Polian, the Jaguars' director of pro personnel. There were separate reports that they had asked to speak with Dolphins director of college scouting Chris Grier and Packers vice president of player personnel Eliot Wolf, but it was unclear if they were declined or had even interviewed.

There was also an ESPN report that the Seahawks' director of college scouting, Scott Fitterer, was on the Eagles' radar, but a formal request had not been made as of last week.

The Eagles are allowed to interview anyone from Seattle or New England despite their participation in the Super Bowl on Feb. 1, but they would have to receive permission to do so.

Robinson, who worked with the Patriots for 12 years before taking the Bucs job last year, interviewed for the New York Jets GM vacancy earlier this month. The job went to Mike Maccagnan, the Texans' director of college scouting.

The Eagles hired Cory Undlin as defensive backs coach and promoted Justin Peelle to tight ends coach, reassigning John Lovett and Ted Williams to the pro scouting department.

Undlin, 43, had the same role with the Denver Broncos for the last two seasons. A former NFL player, Peelle was the Eagles' assistant tight ends coach.

Williams, 71, has been an Eagles assistant since 1995. Lovett, 64, coached the Eagles' defensive backs for the last two seasons.

Eagles kicker Cody Parkey will replace New England's Stephen Gostkowski at the Pro Bowl. As the first alternate, Parkey will step in this Sunday for Gostkowski, who is preparing for the Super Bowl.
