Eagles deny reports offensive coordinator Mornhingweg is out

Speculation offensive coordinator Marty Mornhinweg won't be back for a seventh season with the Eagles was dismissed Saturday by a club spokesman.

Eagles football media relations director Derek Boyko double-checked the status of Mornhinweg with his boss, Andy Reid. Boyko said the head coach denied the reports, the rumors and the speculation.

Boyko also suspects reporters confused Mornhinweg with Mark Whipple, the Eagles' offensive assistant who sources say has sold his house and will leave the nest. Whipple likely will be named offensive coordinator of the University of Miami.

Eagles quarterbacks coach Pat Shurmur was allowed to take the offensive coordinator job of the St. Louis Rams, where he teams with head coach Steve Spagnuolo, a former Eagles assistant.

Mornhinweg, 46, has been assistant head coach/offensive coordinator the past three years with the Eagles.

The Eagles ranked ninth in total offense, including sixth in passing and ranked sixth in the league in points scored.
