Assistant Offensive Coordinator Leaving the Birds
By Kevin K

According to Tim Jimenez of CBS Radio, recently promoted Eagles Assistant Offensive Coordinator, James Urban has left Philly and was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals as their WR Coach.

Urban was the Eagles QB coach for the last two seasons. The surprise is that Urban took what seemed to be a demotion after accepting the WR coaching role in Cincinnati.

Urban will work with new offensive coordinator Jay Gruden, who replaced Bob Bratkowski following a 4-12 season.
