According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the Eagles have made a significant hire, adding Frank Reich to be the Eagles' offensive coordinator.

Reich was the Chargers' offensive coordinator in 2014 and 2015. Here were the Chargers' offensive rankings under Reich:

Frank Reich Overall Run Pass Points 
 2014 Chargers18 30 10 17 
 2015 Chargers31 26 


Those numbers came after a season in 2013 when the Chargers were fifth in overall offense (13th rushing, 4th passing), and 12th in points per game.

Prior to his stint as offensive coordinator, Reich spent two years (2009-2010) in Indianapolis as Peyton Manning's quarterback coach, then a year (2011) as their wide receivers coach. He then moved on the Arizona in 2012 to be the Cardinals' wide receivers coach, before landing with the Chargers as their quarterbacks coach in 2013.

The Chargers dealt with a boatload of injuries and a bad offensive line on their way to a 4-12 record in 2015. The Chargers opted to retain head coach Mike McCoy, but fired Reich. In his second shot as an offensive coordinator, Reich will once again work behind an offensive-minded head coach in Doug Pederson.

UPDATE: Jason La Canfora says it's a done deal.
