Jeff Stoutland, one of the most respected offensive line coaches in the NFL, is parting ways with the Philadelphia Eagles after 13 seasons, the team announced Wednesday. Stoutland, 63, had been a cornerstone of the Eagles’ success, helping the franchise win two Super Bowls and reach three, while coaching nine playoff teams and mentoring seven players to 27 Pro Bowls.
“When I arrived here in 2013, I did not know what I was signing up for. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back,” Stoutland wrote on social media. “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.”
The Eagles released a statement praising Stoutland’s impact on both the team and the community, highlighting his role in developing future Hall of Famers and his contributions off the field through initiatives like the Eagles Autism Foundation. Stoutland’s influence extended to players such as Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Landon Dickerson, Cam Jurgens, Evan Mathis, and Jason Peters, and he helped pave the way for innovations like the “tush push” and Saquon Barkley’s record-breaking 2,005-yard season in 2024.
Stoutland’s tenure began under Chip Kelly and continued through Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni, making him the longest-tenured member of the Eagles’ coaching staff. His work with international prospect Jordan Mailata, who transitioned from rugby to become one of the league’s top offensive tackles, is another hallmark of his career.
New offensive coordinator Sean Mannion will bring in his own staff, though reports suggest Stoutland may have some ongoing involvement with the organization, while other teams have expressed interest in his services. After over a decade of shaping one of the NFL’s most dominant offensive lines, Stoutland’s departure marks the end of an era in Philadelphia.
