Longtime Eagles Offensive Line Coach Jeff Stoutland Announces Official Departure From Team
After 13 influential seasons in Philadelphia, Jeff Stoutland has announced he is stepping down as the offensive line coach of the Eagles. The highly respected coach, often regarded as one of the best in the NFL, confirmed his exit on Wednesday evening via a social media statement. “Philadelphia, I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end,” Stoutland wrote. “When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for… 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’s tenure has been a cornerstone of the franchise’s recent success. Hired originally by Chip Kelly in 2013, he remained a vital fixture through the coaching administrations of Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni. Under his guidance, the Eagles’ offensive line—affectionately dubbed “Stoutland University”—anchored the team to multiple championships, including victories in Super Bowl LII and Super Bowl LIX. He is credited with the development of numerous All-Pro talents, including Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, and Jordan Mailata, the latter of whom Stoutland famously transformed from a rugby player with no football experience into a premier left tackle.
Despite his legendary status, the departure follows a tumultuous 2025 season. Reports emerged late last year that Stoutland had been stripped of his run game coordinator duties as the offense faltered. His exit coincides with the recent hiring of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who is reportedly seeking to restructure the offensive staff with his own personnel. While the organization stated that Stoutland might retain an advisory role, industry insiders suggest that other NFL teams are already expressing interest in his services. The move has sparked immediate debate among analysts and fans, with many questioning the decision to part ways with a coach who provided over a decade of stability and excellence in the trenches.
