Ex-Eagles OL Coach Jeff Stoutland Will Not Coach In 2026
On Wednesday, the NFL world found out that legendary Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland would not be coaching in Philadelphia next season. We now know (via ESPN’s Tim McManus) that he does not intend to coach at all in 2026.
The Eagles wanted to keep Stoutland in place under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion
, but he declined their offer. If he was interested in other jobs, he would have become the hottest commodity on the coaching market. While most teams already have their offensive line coach for 2026 in place, Stoutland could have easily become a senior offensive assistant or run game coordinator on any number of staffs.
Instead, he will take a year away from coaching after more than four decades with various college and NFL teams that featured two Super Bowl rings and two BCS National Championships.
Stoutland is leaving Philadelphia after a rocky 2025 season for the Eagles offense. After three straight years as a top-10 unit, they fell back to 19th in points and 24th in yards. Head coach Nick Sirianni and offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo worked to diversify the run game, but did so in such a manner that encroached on Stoutland’s role as run game coordinator.
Then, after firing Patullo, the Eagles hired Sean Mannion as their new offensive coordinator. He spent time under both Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay and will bring their schemes to Philadelphia. Stoutland does not have as much experience with those systems.
Those factors contributed to Stoutland’s growing discomfort in Philadelphia and eventual departure. However, he does not plan to retire and could becoming one of the most sought-after assistants in the NFL next hiring cycle.
Jeff Stoutland Won’t Return As Eagles OL Coach In 2026
Jeff Stoutland‘s iconic stint on the Eagles coaching staff has come to an end. The long-time offensive line coach announced that he won’t be returning to the Eagles coaching staff in 2026. However, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport says Stoutland is expected to stay with the organization in another role.
“I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end,” Stoutland wrote on X. “When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back. The past 13 years have been the great privilege of my coaching career. I didn’t just work here, I became one of you. Stout out.”
Stoutland spent decades coaching in college football before joining the Eagles staff under Chip Kelly in 2013. Despite the organization later employing two other head coaches, the OL coach has stuck around while earning a reputation as one of the NFL’s premier offensive line gurus. Over his 14 years in Philadelphia, Stoutland won a pair of Super Bowls while coaching eight linemen to a combined 26 Pro Bowls and 14 All-Pro nods. He earned the additional title of run-game coordinator in 2018, although the coach reportedly lost that role midway through the 2025 campaign.
While the coach has been credited with the elite play of the likes of Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce, and Jason Peters, he did have several additional accomplishments during his long tenure with the franchise. That includes coaching up former rugby player Jordan Mailata, who never played organized football before joining the Eagles. Mailata has since started 85 games over his eight seasons with the organization, leading the lineman to declare his alma mater as “Jeff Stoutland University” during a Sunday Night Football matchup in 2022.
Since Nick Sirianni has come on board, the head coach has credited Stoutland with the rise of the infamous “Tush Push.” After making the play a regular part of their playbook in 2022, quarterback Jalen Hurts has found the end zone 50 times, with the majority of those scores coming from the one- or two-yard line. Stoutland also guided a prolific rushing attack in 2024 that saw Saquon Barkley compile a record 2,504 rushing yards between the regular season and playoffs.
It’s uncertain if the addition of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion entirely influenced Stoutland’s decision, although Rapoport does note that the OC intends to bring in his own offensive staff. Zach Berman of The Athletic clarifies that the Mannion and Sirianni wanted to keep Stoutland on their staff, but it was ultimately the veteran coach’s decision to step away. Further, while it sounds like the Eagles intend to keep the veteran coach in the building, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo predicts that rival teams will surely check in on his availability.
While the move will have a massive impact on Philly’s approach to their coaching staff, it could also influence some roster decisions. As Eliot Shorr-Parks of 94WIP.com observes, Stoutland’s departure from the coaching staff could influence Johnson’s decision to keep playing in 2026.
Eagles DC Vic Fangio Will Return For 2026 Season
After considering retirement for the second offseason in a row, Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio is expected to return to his post in 2026, per Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer.
Fangio, 67, has been an NFL coach since 1986 (outside of one season as Stanford’s defensive coordinator in 2010). He finally won a Super Bowl last year – his first season in Philadelphia – and contemplated going out on top. Instead, he returned for the 2025 season and oversaw some regression, though his defense was still stronger than Kevin Patullo‘s offense.
The Eagles will be hoping Fangio’s unit can return to dominance in 2026, but keeping him in the building is already a major success. The organization has not had a smooth offseason thus far, as their search to replace Patullo did not go as planned. There did not seem to be as much interest in the job as one would expect for a star-studded offense still only a year removed from a Super Bowl win. Multiple candidates withdrew from consideration, and it even seemed like Brian Daboll was more interested in working with Cam Ward in Tennessee than reuniting with Jalen Hurts in Philadelphia after their first stint together at Alabama.
The Eagles eventually landed on Sean Mannion for their OC job. He has just two years of coaching experience, which will likely bring head coach Nick Sirianni into a bigger role in the offense. That made keeping Fangio even more important. This late in the hiring cycle, it would be almost impossible for the Eagles to find a worthy replacement.
They will not have to worry about such a task, for now. But Fangio’s retirement is clearly approaching, and his will not be easy shoes to fill.
Eagles DC Vic Fangio Expected To Return In 2026
FEBRUARY 2: Fangio did indeed “seriously entertain” retirement in recent days, but PHLY Sports’ EJ Smith reports the Eagles are now “confident” he will remain in place for at least one more year. A third season with Philadelphia as the team’s D-coordinator can be expected.
FEBRUARY 1: The Eagles have already made a change at offensive coordinator this year, hiring Sean Mannion to replace the demoted Kevin Patullo. It is unclear whether the club will also be in search of a new defensive coordinator.
During a recent appearance on The Anthony Gargano Show, Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network said he has not heard that DC Vic Fangio is retiring, nor has he heard that Fangio will return (video link). He added that he would not be surprised either way.
According to Garafolo, during the Eagles’ Super Bowl party last year, Fangio told his fellow attendees that he appreciated working with them and suggested he was going to end his career on a high note with a Super Bowl ring. And then he elected to continue working.
It sounds as if something similar transpired this year. Citing multiple sources, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com says Fangio told the team he was retiring, only to be convinced to come back for at least one more season. That said, a team spokesperson declined to confirm that Fangio would remain in place in 2026.
Following up on Kempski’s report, Garafolo reiterates that while Fangio appears to be leaning towards returning at the moment, that could still change. Dianna Russini of The Athletic also heard that Fangio waffled a bit in 2025, but a team source told her that “we’ll convince him to stay” in 2026.
It is not difficult to see why the Eagles want Fangio to return. One of the most respected and influential defensive minds in the game, Fangio joined Philadelphia in his current capacity in 2024, after a collapse on the defensive side of the ball torpedoed the club’s chances of a deep postseason run the year prior. A concerted effort to address deficiencies in the secondary certainly helped, but after the Eagles finished 26th in total defense and 30th in scoring defense in 2023, they finished first and second, respectively, in those areas in 2024. They went on to capture the second Super Bowl title in franchise history.
Although Fangio’s unit regressed a bit in 2025, its performance was still respectable (13th in total defense, fifth in scoring defense). This time, it was the Patullo-directed offense that undermined Philadelphia’s championship aspirations.
Additionally, with a rookie play-caller in the offensive coordinator seat, it stands to reason that head coach Nick Sirianni wants some stability and experience among his top lieutenants. It does appear the Eagles have been formulating a backup plan just in case Fangio decides to call it quits.
According to Kempski, Philadelphia reached out to former defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, whose success in that role over the 2021-22 campaigns helped him become the Cardinals’ head coach in 2023. Arizona cut ties with him last month, and he subsequently accepted the Packers’ DC position.
Philly was also planning to contact Jim Schwartz, per Kempski. Schwartz was the Eagles’ defensive coordinator when they won their first Super Bowl title at the end of the 2017 season. After being passed over for the Browns’ head coaching job in this year’s cycle, Schwartz reportedly wants out of Cleveland, where he has worked as the DC since 2023.
Now 67, Fangio previously said he wants to finish his coaching career as the Eagles’ defensive coordinator. It is too soon to say whether that time has already come. Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer says Fangio has not responded to questions about his future since the 2025 season came to an end.
Cowboys Add Derrick Ansley To Staff
New Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker has been busy over the past few days working to piece together his staff. A notable name will be joining him in Dallas for 2026. 
Derrick Ansley has agreed to terms with the Cowboys, ESPN’s Todd Archer reports. This news marks an expected to end to his Packers tenure. Ansley worked as Green Bay’s defensive pass-game coordinator for each of the past two years. The team brought in Bobby Babich to fill that role earlier this week, however.
Ansley has not needed to wait long to find his next opportunity. The 44-year-old will join Ryan Smith in Dallas, per Archer. Smith was reported to be a Cowboys target recently, with the same also being true of outgoing Ravens defensive coordinator Zach Orr. Like Orr, Ansley has previously been a DC at the NFL level.
In 2023, Ansley was promoted to defensive coordinator of the Chargers. That move followed two years as a defensive backs coach with the Bolts but proved to be short-lived. Brandon Staley‘s midseason firing paved the way for a slew of changes on the sidelines and the eventual arrival of Jim Harbaugh. That led Ansley – who has also worked as a defensive coordinator at the college level (Tennessee in 2020 and ’21) – to Green Bay. He spent two years working under Jeff Hafley, who is now in place as the Dolphins’ head coach.
Ansley will hold the familiar titles of defensive pass-game coordinator and DBs coach, per Archer. He adds Smith will operate as Dallas’ secondary coach. Together, the two will be tasked with helping lead a needed turnaround in production from that unit. The Cowboys ranked last in the NFL in pass defense this season, a key reason why they fell short of the playoffs. A stronger showing in 2026 could help Ansley’s future coordinator stock; he interviewed for one DC opening during each of the past two hiring cycles.
Meanwhile, interviews with several other candidates for the Cowboys’ staff continued today. According to Archer, Steelers outside linebackers coach Denzel Martin, Eagles assistant linebacker coach Ronell Williams and former Vikings defensive line coach Marcus Dixon all conducted in-person interviews on Saturday. USC D-line coach/defensive run game coordinator Eric Henderson will meet with the team tomorrow.
Eagles To Hire Josh Grizzard As Pass Game Coordinator
Three weeks after the Buccaneers fired him as their offensive coordinator, Josh Grizzard is joining the Eagles’ staff. Grizzard will serve as the team’s pass game coordinator, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Eagles, who joined the Buccaneers in removing their offensive coordinator after the season, considered Grizzard as a potential replacement for Kevin Patullo. While Grizzard interviewed for the position twice, Philadelphia instead hired Sean Mannion on Thursday. The 35-year-old Grizzard will now assist Mannion after spending two seasons in Tampa Bay.
Grizzard joined the Buccaneers as their pass game coordinator in 2024, a prolific season for Baker Mayfield & Co. The Buccaneers finished third in passing, Mayfield tossed a career-best 41 touchdowns, and wide receiver Mike Evans posted his 11th straight 1,000-yard season. The Bucs’ offensive success led to the departure of coordinator Liam Coen, who became the Jaguars’ head coach, and the promotion of Grizzard.
With Grizzard in control, Tampa Bay’s offense took significant steps backward in 2025. The unit fell from fourth in scoring the previous season to 18th, though injuries played a key role in its decline. The receiver trio of Evans, Chris Godwin and Jalen McMillan combined to miss 30 games, running back Bucky Irving sat out seven, and linemen Tristan Wirfs, Luke Goedeke and Cody Mauch combined for 26 absences.
While Grizzard’s first stint as an O-coordinator didn’t go according to plan, the Eagles are optimistic he’ll help boost an aerial attack that ranked 23rd in 2025. Grizzard is a lock to work with quarterback Jalen Hurts and receiver DeVonta Smith in 2026. However, the futures of the Eagles’ other top pass catchers, wideout A.J. Brown and tight end Dallas Goedert, are in question.
Brown logged his fourth straight 1,000-yard campaign in 2025, but after he made his frustration with the Eagles’ offense known throughout the year, he may be a trade candidate this offseason. Meanwhile, after leading the Eagles with 11 touchdown grabs, Goedert is now a little over a month from hitting the free agent market.
Eagles Hire Sean Mannion As OC
The Eagles’ round of second interviews has wrapped, bringing a lengthy search to a close. Philadelphia has decided on Sean Mannion. The former backup quarterback will be Philly’s new play-caller, the team announced Thursday.
Nick Sirianni has said his next OC will have offensive autonomy. This will be a big prestige bump for Mannion. Like David Blough, he will go from recently retired quarterback to NFC East offensive coordinator this offseason. Mannion was playing as recently as 2023, but he has gained considerable buzz in the coaching ranks. Mannion, 33, spent last season as the Packers’ QBs coach. The Eagles were the only team to interview him for an OC post this offseason.
This wraps an eventful search for Philly, who considered former HCs and more experienced options. Mannion landing the gig certainly reflects well on his interview skills, and it will be interesting to see how much leeway Sirianni gives his new hire to build an offense.
Mannion has coached under Matt LaFleur and played under both Sean McVay and Kevin O’Connell. A move to a Shanahan/McVay-style offense appears squarely in play for the Eagles. Sirianni confirmed Mannion will call plays.
“It was quickly apparent in meeting with Sean that he is a bright young coach with a tremendous future ahead of him in this league,” Sirianni said in a statement. “I was impressed by his systematic views on offensive football and his strategic approach. Sean’s 11 years in the NFL have provided him a great opportunity to learn from and grow alongside some of the best coaches in the game.”
The Eagles interviewed Mannion, Jim Bob Cooter, Josh Grizzard and Jerrod Johnson twice, with NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo indicating Johnson — the Texans’ QBs coach — received a second meeting today. All three have coached for much longer than Mannion, whose playing career wrapped at 31. He has mentored Jordan Love for two seasons, doing so after serving as a backup to Jared Goff and Kirk Cousins for most of his career.
Mannion prevailed in a race that featured some twists and turns. The Eagles fired Kevin Patullo on January 13, making him the third straight one-and-done OC. This job catapulted Shane Steichen and Kellen Moore to HC positions, but both those staffers had OC experience previously. The two rookie coordinators Sirianni tabbed — Brian Johnson and Patullo — were both fired after disappointing showings. Mannion’s experience level trails even Johnson and Patullo; the Eagles are banking on his playing career serving as vital experience for a pressure-packed job.
The Packers promoted Mannion to QBs coach in 2025, after employing him as an offensive assistant in his first coaching year. Love finished the season second in QBR this past season, marking a step forward for the young passer. Love’s QB rating and completion percentage numbers (101.2, 66.3) also were career bests. This happened during a season in which the Packers missed Christian Watson, Jayden Reed and Tucker Kraft for extensive portions. Reed’s two-injury season included 10 missed games, while Watson did not debut until Week 8. Kraft was headed toward a monster season when he suffered an ACL tear in 9.
The Rams drafted Mannion in the 2015 third round. After playing behind Nick Foles as a St. Louis rookie, Mannion sat behind Goff for three seasons to close his rookie contract. The final two came under McVay, who only used Mannion as a starter in Week 17 of the 2017 season. Mannion joined the Vikings in 2019, setting up an extended run as Cousins’ backup. Mannion started two Vikings games during a four-year stay. Most of Mannion’s Minnesota tenure came before O’Connell arrived, but the ex-Rams OC — after a Seattle stopover — rejoined the Vikings in October 2023. Mannion finished his career back in Seattle, serving as one of Geno Smith‘s backups, to close the 2023 season.
Mannion’s career ending after Sirianni’s third Philly season adds intrigue to this unorthodox hire. The Eagles appeared to prefer Brian Daboll, but he did not hold the Philly job in especially high regard. The ex-Giants HC accepted a three-year offer to become the Titans’ OC. The Eagles, who did not make Daboll an offer, also met with former HCs in Mike McDaniel and Matt Nagy. The Cowboys blocked their interview with OC Klayton Adams, and both Declan Doyle (Bears OC) and Charlie Weis Jr. (LSU OC) withdrew from consideration. The Eagles submitted a Davis Webb interview request Tuesday, but it does not appear that meeting took place.
Jalen Hurts has enjoyed tremendous success as a starter, but the run-oriented quarterback has also been inconsistent. Last season under Patullo reminded more of a downturn under Johnson in 2023. A.J. Brown has also made relentless noise about his role, leading to trade rumors — which will likely pick up again soon — while the Eagles did not come remotely close to replicating their run-game dominance from 2024 under Patullo. Saquon Barkley was healthy throughout the season but saw his 16-game yardage total drop from 2,005 to 1,140 between his first and second Philadelphia campaigns.
It will be on Mannion to manage all this, as Sirianni has not called plays since midway through his rookie season. It will be interesting to see if Sirianni remains a central presence on offense, as he was during Johnson and Patullo’s seasons in charge, or allows Mannion to run the show — as he did with Steichen and Moore. Via PFR’s Offensive/Defensive Coordinator Search Tracker, here is how Philly’s latest OC search unfolded:

Eagles Complete Second Josh Grizzard OC Interview
As the Cardinals and Raiders complete three-week-plus HC interview processes, the Eagles are nearing that point with their offensive coordinator search. But Philadelphia is circling back to second interviews at this point.
Following reports of Jim Bob Cooter and Sean Mannion‘s second meetings about this play-calling post, veteran insider Jordan Schultz notes Josh Grizzard completed a second interview as well. The one-year Buccaneers OC met with the Eagles again Wednesday.
[RELATED: NFL OC/DC Search Tracker]
The Eagles are not done reaching out to candidates for potential first meetings, though, as they sent Davis Webb an interview request Tuesday. The Denver quarterbacks coach, who is still up for the Raiders’ HC job, could throw a wrench in this process. But as it stands, Grizzard joins Cooter and Mannion as known finalists to replace Kevin Patullo.
Grizzard, 35, comes from a somewhat similar situation; like the Eagles, the Bucs will be on OC No. 5 in five years. Grizzard was No. 4, being promoted after both Dave Canales and Liam Coen took HC jobs elsewhere. The Bucs were not as happy with Grizzard’s work, firing him after one season — an injury-plagued effort. Tampa Bay played chunks of the season without Tristan Wirfs, Luke Goedeke, Cody Mauch, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Bucky Irving and Jalen McMillan on offense. This certainly affected the team, though its late-season collapse involved key losses with most of this cadre on the field.
Tampa Bay plummeted from fourth to 18th in scoring offense between Coen’s OC season and Grizzard’s. The latter did play a role in the Bucs’ 2024 success, serving as the team’s pass-game coordinator. Though, he made the rare step down from wide receivers coach to the quality control level, being demoted in Miami after the Brian Flores-to-Mike McDaniel changeover. The Eagles are the only team to interview Grizzard since his Bucs OC firing.
Had the Titans not needed an OC, it is possible Brian Daboll would be preparing to coach Jalen Hurts and Co. The ex-Giants HC had support from key principals in the building, per the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane, who adds the Eagles are not believed to have made an offer to a candidate yet. The Daboll buzz did not result in one, Sal Paolantonio of ESPN confirmed during a Get Up appearance.
Eagles Conduct Second OC Interview With Jim Bob Cooter
The Eagles have cast perhaps the widest net in the NFL in their search for a new offensive coordinator, but it sounds like the organization is starting to settle on some final candidates for the job. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Eagles conducted an in-person interview today with Colts offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter.
We heard previously that the Eagles had requested an interview with the long-time offensive coach. According to Fowler, the two sides previously conducted a virtual interview. While the Philly job would represent a lateral move for Cooter, it appears as if Shane Steichen is willing to let one of his top lieutenants consider a new job.
Cooter has spent the past three seasons serving as the Colts offensive coordinator. Despite having to turn to six different starting QBs over that span, Indy’s offense has still ranked in the top-half of the NFL in yardage in each of the past three seasons. The offense has also had some success scoring the ball, culminating in an eighth-place finish in points scored this past season. While Steichen brings an offensive pedigree, Cooter also earned some praise for his ability to squeeze an impressive showing out of Daniel Jones in 2025.
The 41-year-old coordinator has been coaching in the NFL since 2009. He earned his first OC gig with the Lions in 2016, and he had stints as the Jets running backs coach and the Jaguars passing game coordinator before he got his current job with the Colts in 2023.
Cooter also has some connection to the Eagles. He worked alongside Nick Sirianni when the two were on the Chiefs coaching staff, and he later served as an independent consultant in Philly during the 2021 campaign. When Sirianni announced that move, he noted that he thinks “very highly” of Cooter while describing him as a “great football mind.”
If Cooter ends up back in Philly, he’ll be tasked with guiding an offense that took a significant step back in 2025. After ranking in the top-10 in points scored and yards each season between 2022 and 2024, the team finished 19th in points and 24th in yards in 2025. That performance led to the team parting ways with OC Kevin Patullo after the season.
Since then, the Eagles have looked high and low for a replacement. Cooter joins a long list of candidates that also includes:
- Josh Grizzard, former offensive coordinator (Buccaneers): To interview
- Jerrod Johnson, quarterbacks coach (Texans): To interview
- Sean Mannion, quarterbacks coach (Packers): To conduct second interview
- Matt Nagy, former offensive coordinator (Chiefs): Interviewed 1/21
- Bobby Slowik, senior pass-game coordinator (Dolphins): Interviewed 1/23
- Frank Smith, former offensive coordinator (Dolphins): Interviewed
- Davis Webb, quarterbacks coach (Broncos): Interview requested
Broncos’ Davis Webb Receives Three OC Interview Requests
Following the Broncos’ loss in the AFC Championship this weekend, pass game coordinator/quarterbacks coach Davis Webb became available to interview for head coaching opportunities with the Raiders and Bills. After Buffalo pulled the trigger on promoting offensive coordinator Joe Brady, a few teams reached out hoping Webb might be available to interview for a lesser role. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Eagles, Giants, and Ravens all requested to interview Webb for their open offensive coordinator positions. 
We’ve sees our fair share of meteoric rises in the coaching world, but what Webb has people saying at this point in his career feels unprecedented. A former quarterback, Webb was a third-round pick in 2017 but didn’t make his NFL debut until 2021. He played four snaps that year with the Bills then made his first and only start the next year with the Giants. Those two games were Webb’s only NFL action as a player, but he clearly must’ve seen a better road ahead in coaching, as ESPN’s Jordan Raanan can testify to.
The next season, Webb joined Sean Payton‘s staff in Denver as the quarterbacks coach. Under Payton and Webb, veteran Russell Wilson had a resurgent season in Denver following a rough first year away from the Seahawks. In Webb’s second season coaching, he was handed a first-round rookie quarterback in Bo Nix. In two years, Nix has impressed, averaging a 64.8 completion percentage, 3,853 yards, 27 touchdowns, and 11.5 interceptions. With Webb adding the pass game coordinator title in 2025, the passing offense improved from 20th in yards gained in 2024 to 11th this year.
An impressive early résumé and what must be some serious inside coach speak have made Webb a serious candidate for head coach jobs and offensive coordinator positions. He hasn’t even gotten an opportunity to call plays yet, and all three openings requesting his interview would require him to do just that. With head coaching jobs dwindling, more and more candidates will need to look for lower positions soon, if they’re not already under contract. And, if Webb doesn’t end up landing a head coaching position, one would wonder if he doesn’t end up just staying in Denver to replace recently fired offensive coordinator Joe Lombardi.
