Eagles OC search: Zac Robinson agrees to a deal with Buccaneers

Adam Schefter reports that former Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has agreed to a deal with the Buccaneers for the same position

The Eagles’ offensive coordinator search is moving into week 2, and another name is off the board: former Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson has agreed to a deal with the Buccaneers. Following the Raheem Morris firing, Robinson was still under contract in Atlanta, but free to interview for other jobs while the Falcons continued their search for a GM and head coach following the move to make former star quarterback Matt Ryan the President of Football Operations.

Robinson has made this list before and interviewed for the job that went to Shane Steichen. Another coach off the Sean McVay or Kyle Shanahan school of thought, Robinson, might have been the perfect candidate, as he was the Los Angeles Rams’ passing-game coordinator and quarterbacks coach for two years before his move to Atlanta, where he helped Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts develop into an explosive offensive unit.

In 2024, Robinson’s first season as the Falcons’ play-caller, the team finished sixth in the NFL in net yards per game (369.8), eighth in yards per play (5.79), fifth in passing yards per game (239.3), and 10th in rushing yards per game (130.5). Last season, the Falcons lost starting quarterback Michael Penix to injury and inserted Kirk Cousins, but still finished 14th in yards per game (333.0) and eighth in rushing yards per game (125.8).
