The Eagles will have to replace offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, but they won\u2019t have to look for a new defensive coordinator. <\/p>\n

Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that Vic Fangio will be back<\/a> for a third season with the team. <\/p>\n

Fangio contemplated retiring after the Eagles won the Super Bowl last year and a report last weekend said he told the team he would be stepping away<\/a> after this year\u2019s playoff loss to the 49ers. Fangio never made that decision official, however, and there was optimism that Fangio would reverse course to remain with the team. <\/p>\n

The Eagles have finished second and fifth in points allowed during Fangio\u2019s two seasons with the team and his return will ensure continuity on that side of the ball. They won\u2019t be able to say the same on the offensive side of the ball with Sean Mannion taking over as the offensive coordinator and Stoutland stepping down from his role after 13 years in Philadelphia. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Eagles will have to replace offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, but they won\u2019t have to look for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":450101,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[349,99],"class_list":["post-450100","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-nfl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450100","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=450100"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/450100\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/450101"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=450100"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=450100"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=450100"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
