Jeff Stoutland Steps Down as Eagles’ Offensive Line Coach

Jeff Stoutland, the Philadelphia Eagles’ offensive line coach, has announced his departure from the team after 13 seasons. Stoutland shared his decision on social media, expressing gratitude for the experiences gained and the relationships formed in Philadelphia.

Jeff Stoutland’s Tenure with the Eagles

Stoutland joined the Eagles in 2013 and quickly became a staple in the organization. Under his guidance, the team secured two Super Bowl titles and developed one of the strongest offensive lines in the NFL.

Championship Success and Coach Influences

• Joined the Eagles in 2013.

Some notable players who thrived under Stoutland include:

• Cam Jurgens

Jason Kelce attributed much of his success story to Stoutland, calling him a significant influence on his likely Hall of Fame career. He praised Stoutland for his passion and teaching style, which fostered a strong bond among players.

Shift in Responsibilities

In 2018, Stoutland’s role expanded to include “run game coordinator.” However, recent reports suggested that he may have lost that title during the previous season. Speculation surrounds whether this change was due to performance issues or a strategic decision by management to enhance the Eagles’ run game.

Future Prospects for Stoutland

While discussions about Stoutland’s next steps remain ongoing, his exit undoubtedly creates a significant void in the Eagles’ coaching staff. The team’s performance suffered from various injuries along the offensive line last season, which complicated his responsibilities.
