Nick Sirianni retaining Jeff Stoutland as Eagles offensive line coach

Nick Sirianni’s biggest move as Eagles head coach may be his best move after Albert Bree reported that Jeff Stoutland will remain Philadelphia’s offensive line coach.

It was originally reported that Stoutland might join Nick Saban’s staff at Alabama, but it appears Nick Sirianni was quick on his feet and said all the right things to keep the veteran coach around.

Under Stoutland, the Eagles consistently had one of the NFL’s top offensive line units and his reputation was cemented this season when Philadelphia landed still landed in the top-20 despite using 14 different combinations.

Stoutland joined the Eagles as the team’s offensive line coach in the 2013 offseason and was named the team’s run game coordinator during the 2018 offseason.

One of the most respected offensive line coaches at any level, Stoutland has 36 years of coaching experience, including stints at Miami (FL) (2007-10), Michigan State (2000-06), and Syracuse (1997-99).
