"The Eagles are currently on the search for their next offensive coordinator after parting ways with Kevin Patullo following his first year in the role. They've spread their search pretty far and wide with over nine interviews requested so far, but it seems their reach fell just short in one rival city. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN, Philadelphia requested to interview Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams for the same role with the Eagles but saw their request blocked by Dallas."
"Typically, if an offensive coordinator currently serves under a head coach who calls plays for the offense, it is not necessarily considered a lateral move to interview for a job elsewhere in which they would have the opportunity to call plays. The organization usually allows for interviews like that to occur. For instance, Bengals offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher (under play-calling head coach Zac Taylor) was permitted to interview with the Buccaneers, where defensive-minded Todd Bowles serves as head coach."
The Eagles are searching for a new offensive coordinator after parting ways with Kevin Patullo following one season. The team has requested more than nine interviews and attempted to interview Cowboys offensive coordinator Klayton Adams, but Dallas blocked the request citing contractual protections against lateral moves. The distinction over play-calling influences whether teams permit interviews; coordinators under head coaches who call plays are sometimes allowed to interview for jobs that would give them play-calling responsibilities. Examples include Dan Pitcher being permitted to interview with the Buccaneers and Adam Stenavich with the Titans. The Eagles received permission to interview coordinators from the Colts and Bears.
