ESPN's Dan Orlovsky Says He'd 'Obviously Take the Interview' for an NFL OC Job

ESPN's Dan Orlovsky has made himself one of the premier NFL analysts in recent years, but he would at least consider giving up the sweet gig on television if a team wanted to speak with him about becoming their offensive coordinator.

Appearing on The Pat McAfee Show, Orlovsky said he "would obviously take the interview" if a team called.

It's unclear if Orlovsky has been considered for a job with an NFL team this offseason. The Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints are the only clubs that don't currently have an offensive coordinator.

Multiple teams have considered Orlovsky for some sort of role with the offensive coaching staff in the recent past.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported in February 2023 that the Indianapolis Colts and Carolina Panthers "discussed prominent offensive coaching roles" with the 40-year-old before he decided to remain with the network.

Orlovsky played 12 seasons in the NFL from 2005 to '16. He was primarily a backup quarterback, but did start 12 games. His most productive season was in 2008 with the Detroit Lions when he threw for 1,616 yards, eight touchdowns and eight interceptions in eight starts.

After officially retiring from the NFL in 2017, Orlovsky was hired by ESPN as part of the network's NFL and college football coverage the following year. He currently works as an analyst on NFL Live and on the No. 2 broadcast crew with Chris Fowler and Louis Riddick.
