Longtime Philadelphia Eagles Coach Leaving

PHILADELPHIA — "Stout Out."

Those were the final words posted by Jeff Stoutland, the longtime Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach, who announced he is leaving the organization after 13 years.

In a statement, Stoutland expressed gratitude for the team and the city, saying, "I didn't just work here, I became one of you." He said it was the "great privilege of [his] coaching career."

According to multiple reports by sports media, Stoutland was demoted from his position as the team's run game coordinator last season as Coach Nick Sirianni tried to re-energize the struggling Saquon Barkley, who had an off-season from the previous year.

Stoutland was recognized in National Football League circles as one of the best offensive line coaches in the game.

He helped develop Lane Johnson, Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, and Jordan Mailata into perennial Pro Bowlers. The offensive line suffered through numerous injuries this past season.

"The Philadelphia Eagles thank Jeff Stoutland for his legendary contributions to the game of football at the college and professional levels. Stout's influence throughout football is immense, having helped countless players reach their true potential, including many who went on to earn All-Pro honors and some who developed into future Hall of Fame talents," the team said in a statement.

The team said Stoutland's "passion for the development of young players set the bar not only for our organization but for the entire National Football League."

"Our organization is deeply grateful for Stout's contributions to our team over the last I3 seasons. In addition to helping to deliver three Super Bowl trips and two World Championships to the City of Philadelphia, he has been a champion of our community, having given much of his time and effort to the Eagles Autism Foundation and many of our team's philanthropic initiatives," the team said. "Although he will not be competing with us on game day, he will always be a beloved member of the Eagles family. His impact on this franchise and our community is immeasurable, and it's safe to say he will always be welcome in the City of Brotherly Love."

John Clark of NBC 10 Philadelphia reported that Stoutland was offered a role on the staff for the new Eagles offense under Sean Mannion, but decided to leave.

Clark said Sirianni and the now-fired Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo started changing up the running scheme last season and did not consult with Stoutland.

Stoutland's departure comes during an off-season in which the Eagles lost to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs after winning the Super Bowl the year before.

Next came the firing of Patullo and the hiring of Mannion, the quarterbacks coach of the Green Bay Packers.

Meanwhile, reports over the past week have stated that Defensive Coordinator Vic Fangio was mulling retirement, but was convinced by management to stay for the 2026 season, Philly Voice’s Jimmy Kempski said.
