Legendary o-line coach Jeff Stoutland leaving Eagles organization

The Eagles’ offensive line will need to enroll at a new university in 2026.

Legendary o-line coach Jeff Stoutland announces that he will no longer be the Eagles’ O-line coach after 13 seasons.

“Philadelphia,” Stoutland wrote on social media Wednesday evening,

“I’ve decided my time coaching with the Eagles has come to an end.

“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 came along with the Chip Kelly regime in 2013 and lasted through three coaching staffs, including Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni. He previously coached at Alabama from 2011 to 2012 and had already had a prosperous college coaching career before turning pro.

Stoutland’s role as run game coordinator was stripped at some point this season, as reported last week. The run game was dreadful in 2025, particularly noting it was coming off a season where Saquon Barkley had the most rushing yards in a season, including the playoffs. In that same report, it was stated that Stoutland was expected to return to the Eagles’ coaching staff for 2026. So much for that.

There is a plan for Stoutland to have some sort of involvement with the Eagles’ organization, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. However, he will undoubtedly have other teams checking in with him.

“The Philadelphia Eagles thank Jeff Stoutland for his legendary contributions to the game of football at the college and professional levels,” the team said in a statement. “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 future Hall of Fame talents. His passion for the development of young players set the bar not only for our organization but for the entire NFL. It is hard to fathom another coach investing more personally and professionally in their players than Jeff Stoutland.

“Our organization is deeply grateful for Stout’s contributions to our team over the last 13 seasons. In addition to helping to deliver three Super Bowl trips and two World Championships to the city of Philadelphia, he has been a champion of our community, having given much of his time and effort to the Eagles Autism Foundation and many of our team’s philanthropic initiatives. Although he will not be competing with us on game day, he will always be a beloved member of the Eagles family. His impact on this franchise and our community is immeasurable, and it’s safe to say he will always be welcome in the City of Brotherly Love.”

The 63-year-old has solidified himself as one of the greatest coaches in NFL history, coaching some of the game’s best linemen, including Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Jordan Mailata, Landon Dickerson, Brandon Brooks, and Jason Peters. Eagles offensive linemen made a total of 27 Pro Bowls under “Stoutland University” and won two Super Bowls.

“There is absolutely no one I credit more with the career I had than Jeff Stoutland,” Kelce said on X/Twitter on Wednesday. “The consistent passion and his eagerness to teach pushed my teammates, me, and our room to amazing success. More importantly, we became incredibly close as people. It was more than just coaching and teaching, it was his presence and sense of urgency that was unaccepting of mediocrity and potential left behind. He will undoubtedly be missed inside the building, and everyone that played for him. I am incredible grateful to have played for Stout, 1 of 1 coach and person. I love you coach.”

Now in 2026, under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, the Eagles will search for a new face to coach the offensive trenches and coordinate the run game for the first time in 13 years.
