The Eagles missed out on the Divisional Round when they were beaten 17-9 by the Seattle Seahawks last weekend.
Head coach Doug Pederson suggested Groh and Walch would retain their roles on Wednesday, but revealed just a day later that they had departed.
“After much consideration and discussion, I have decided to make a change at the offensive coordinator and wide receivers coach positions,” Pederson said in a statement.
“It was not an easy decision for me to make and I appreciate everything that Mike Groh and Carson Walch contributed to the organisation and to my staff.
“As I said yesterday, they were a big part of our success down the stretch this past season.
“This is one of the most difficult parts of the job and something that weighs on me, but ultimately I have to make decisions that I believe are in the best interest of the football team moving forward
“I apologise for any confusion that I created during yesterday’s press conference, including my comments on coach [Jim] Schwartz, who has done a great job as our defensive coordinator.
“It was my intent not to comment on any of my staff during the ongoing evaluations, because I wanted to be able to go through the process and communicate any decision directly with the individuals.
“I did a poor job of explaining that the first time I was asked. I will continue to evaluate everything, and consider all possibilities to improve our football team.”
