Staley will also continue to coach running backs, according to the report.
#Eagles coach Duce Staley's work is being recognized with a new title today: Assistant head coach/ running backs.

According to 247Sports, the assistant interviewed for the Eagles' offensive coordinator position on Monday, which ultimately went to wide receivers coach Mike Groh.
Last week, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported that Philadelphia planned to promote Groh and Staley to bigger positions, with both being considered for the offensive coordinator position.
With the #Eagles having no immediate plans to hire an offensive coordinator to take Frank Reich's job (potentially elevating both Duce Staley and Mike Groh to bigger jobs), all the OC and DC jobs seem to be filled (pending more craziness).

Staley joined the Eagles' staff as a special teams quality control coach in 2011 and was promoted to running backs coach in 2013.
He also played for the Eagles from 1997-2003 and ranks fifth in franchise history with 4,807 career rushing yards.
