Longtime Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is leaving the organization.
Stoutland, who had been with the Eagles since 2013 when he joined then-head coach Chip Kelly’s staff, made the announcement on Instagram Wednesday night.
“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. I quickly learned what this city demands. But more importantly, what it gives back. 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, who will turn 64 on Feb. 10, is one of the most respected offensive line coaches in the NFL. He was the longest-tenured coach on Philadelphia’s staff and worked on three different coaching staffs — Kelly’s, Doug Pederson’s and Nick Sirianni’s.
Over his 13 seasons in Philadelphia, Stoutland helped develop key pieces on the team’s offensive line and made it to three Super Bowl championships, including bringing two Lombardi Trophies to Philly.
“The Philadelphia Eagles thank Jeff Stoutland for his legendary contributions to the game of football at the college and professional levels,” the Eagles wrote in a statement in part. “Stout’s influence throughout football is immense, having helped countless players reach their true potential, including many who went on to earn All-Pro honors and some who developed into Hall of Fame talents.”
Philadelphia’s offensive coaching staff will look different next season after the team moved on from Kevin Patullo at offensive coordinator.
Last week, the team hired former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion to replace Patullo.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
