Eagles Close Door on Jeff Stoutland Return as Nick Sirianni Backs New Staff

The decision signals a full pivot to Sean Mannion’s scheme with new position coaches in place.

Overview

  • Sirianni said at the NFL meetings that Philadelphia has moved on from longtime line coach Jeff Stoutland and does not plan to bring him back in a different role.
  • Stoutland, who coached the Eagles’ offensive line for 13 seasons, said on a podcast he has not discussed a return, countering Lane Johnson’s earlier hint that he might stay involved.
  • The reworked offensive staff features Chris Kuper as offensive line coach and Ryan Mahaffey as tight ends coach and run game coordinator under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.
  • Sirianni answered questions about A. J. Brown’s future by repeating that “A. J. is an Eagle,” as the team reshapes the offense for spring work.
  • Defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said linebacker Jihaad Campbell is rehabbing a shoulder injury and is not expected to take part in on‑field work until training camp.
