Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland announced on February 4, 2026, that he will not return to the coaching staff for the 2026 season. The decision concludes a 13-year tenure with the organization.
Stoutland, 63, joined the Eagles in 2013 under head coach Chip Kelly and worked with three different head coaches during his time with the franchise: Kelly, Doug Pederson, and Nick Sirianni. He added the title of run game coordinator in 2018.
During his tenure, the Eagles made nine playoff appearances, reached three Super Bowls, and won two championships in 2017 and 2024. Stoutland coached 10 different offensive linemen who started at least 25 games, with seven earning Pro Bowl selections including Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, and Landon Dickerson.
Stoutland spent 30 years coaching at the college level before joining the NFL, including positions at Alabama where he won two national championships. His offensive line coaching earned the nickname "Stoutland University" during his Eagles tenure, with 10 first-team All-Pro selections among his players.
The decision to step away from coaching was Stoutland's, according to league sources. The Eagles wanted him to return, but his role would have changed under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. NFL Network reports Stoutland may stay with the organization in a different capacity.
Stoutland was instrumental in developing the Eagles' "Tush Push" play and helped guide the team's rushing attack that featured Saquon Barkley's 2,000-yard season in 2024.
