RELATED: Report: Eagles Expected to Hire Mike Groh as Wide Receivers Coach
Groh was the passing game coordinator/wide receivers coach for the Los Angeles Rams last season after spending his last three years with the Chicago Bears. Groh takes over for Greg Lewis, who was fired on Jan. 9. The Eagles obviously need a wide receiver and with Groh having experience with free-agent wideouts Alshon Jeffery and Kenny Britt, maybe that can help lure one of them to Philly.
