time2rock Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Eagles finalize 2024 coaching staff It looks like the Eagles and Nick Sirianni have hired and promoted all of their assistants for the upcoming season. BY JIMMY KEMPSKI PhillyVoice Staff NATHAN RAY SEEBECK/USA TODAY SPORTS Nick Sirianni's staff will look different in 2024. The Philadelphia Eagles announced a finalized 2024 coaching staff on Friday. We already knew that Kellen Moore would be the new offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio will be running the defense, but the Eagles made several positional coaching changes as well. Quarterbacks coach: Doug Nussmeier After Brian Johnson was promoted to offensive coordinator and Alex Tanney to quarterbacks coach in 2023, Jalen Hurts took a bit of a step back in his progression as a quarterback. Nussmeier and Moore will be tasked with getting Hurts back on the right track. Nussmeier is a former quarterback himself who was drafted in the fourth round out of Idaho in 1994. He was able to hang in the league for five seasons, but only got two starts, both losses. He has since had a long coaching career, with a lot of stops along the way in the CFL, at major college programs, and the NFL: • BC Lions (2001): Quarterbacks coach • Ottawa Renegades (2002): Quarterbacks coach • Michigan State (2003–2005): Quarterbacks coach • St. Louis Rams (2006–2007): Quarterbacks coach • Fresno State (2008): Offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach • Washington (2009–2011): Offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach • Alabama (2012–2013): Offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach • Michigan (2014): Offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach • Florida (2015–2017): Offensive coordinator & quarterbacks coach • Dallas Cowboys (2018–2019): Tight ends coach • Dallas Cowboys (2020–2022): Quarterbacks coach • Los Angeles Chargers (2023): Quarterbacks coach As you can see, Nussmeier is a quarterbacks coach lifer, with some college offensive coordinator experience and a couple of seasons coaching tight ends sprinkled in. Nussmeier has become Moore's guy. He served as the quarterbacks coach under the Cowboys from 2020-2022 while Moore was the offensive coordinator, and he followed Moore to Los Angeles to coach the Chargers in 2023 under the same setup. He also overlapped with Jeff Stoutland for one season in 2012 at Alabama, where they won a National Championship. Passing game coordinator / defensive backs: Christian Parker Parker is a young coach (32) who played receiver at college at Richmond. • Virginia State (2013–2014): Defensive backs coach • Norfolk State (2015–2016): Defensive backs coach • Notre Dame (2017): Defensive analyst • Texas A&M (2018): Defensive analyst • Green Bay Packers (2019–2020): Defensive quality control coach • Denver Broncos (2021–2023): Defensive backs coach In case you need any more evidence of who is assembling the defensive staff, Parker coached for one year in Denver under Fangio in 2021. He survived Fangio's firing and remained the defensive backs coach for two more years before reportedly joining the Eagles' staff. S Justin Simmons was named second-team All-Pro all three years under Parker's watch. He also made the Pro Bowl in 2023. CB Patrick Surtain was first-team All-Pro in 2022, and he made the Pro Bowl both in 2022 and 2023. Defensive line: Clint Hurtt Hurtt was Seattle's defensive coordinator the last two seasons, and he has been coaching defense for almost two decades. • FIU (2005): Defensive line coach • Miami (2006–2009): Defensive line coach • Louisville (2010–2013): Defensive line coach • Chicago Bears (2014): Assistant defensive line coach • Chicago Bears (2015–2016): Outside linebackers coach • Seattle Seahawks (2017–2021): Assistant head coach & defensive line coach • Seattle Seahawks (2022–2023): Defensive coordinator Hurtt coached under Fangio in 2015 and 2016 with the Bears, before landing a better opportunity in Seattle in 2017 to assistant head coach / DL coach, followed by a promotion to defensive coordinator in 2022. His two seasons as the Seahawks' defensive coordinator were underwhelming: Clint Hurtt Defensive DVOA Points Yards Seahawks - 2022 22 25 26 Seahawks - 2023 28 25 30 He'll reportedly return to a defensive line position with the Eagles. This dude just looks like a D-line coach. Linebackers: Bobby King King was the inside linebackers coach for the Titans in 2023. He coached Zach Cunningham both in Houston and Tennessee. It's perhaps worth noting that Howie Roseman went out of his way to praise Cunningham's play in 2023 during his end of season press conference. We don't have a handy-dandy coaching timeline for King, but he has coached linebackers and defensive line, and has been with the Texans, Titans, Cowboys, and Chargers. Again, this is another important role on the Eagles' staff, as they got mostly bad play from their linebackers in 2023. Cornerbacks: Roy Anderson Anderson has been coaching for over 20 years, but is still only 42 years old. • Florida A&M (2002): Graduate assistant • Florida State (2003): Student assistant • LSU (2004): Graduate assistant • Baltimore Ravens (2005–2007): Player personnel assistant • Baltimore Ravens (2008): Coaching assistant • Baltimore Ravens (2009–2011): Defensive assistant • Indianapolis Colts (2012–2015): Safeties coach • San Francisco 49ers (2016): Safeties coach • Chicago Bears (2017–2018): Assistant defensive backs coach • LSU (2019): Defensive analyst • Minnesota Vikings (2020–2022): Assistant defensive backs coach • Seattle Seahawks (2023–present): Secondary coach Anderson coached under Fangio in 2018 in Chicago. Safeties: Joe Kasper Kasper has an interesting, diverse resume, working on both sides of the ball, and also in a front office capacity. He played safety at Baldwin Wallace (Berea, OH), before skipping his senior season to intern with the Browns. • Cleveland Browns (2013–2014): Player personnel and development assistant • Mentor HS (OH) (2015–2016): Defensive backs coach • John Carroll (2017): Wide receivers coach • Duke (2018–2020): Graduate assistant (defensive backs), assistant (quarterbacks) • Philadelphia Eagles (2021–2022): Defensive quality control coach • Miami Dolphins (2023): Safeties coach The Eagles haven't had a dedicated safeties coach during the Nick Sirianni era, but it certainly makes sense to add one, given that they have two young players in Reed Blankenship and Sydney Brown who need development. Other changes • T.J. Paganetti: Run game specialist / Assistant offensive line: Paganetti was already with the team, but he now replaces Roy Istvan, who was previously the assistant OL coach. • Ronell Williams: Assistant linebackers / Defensive quality control: Williams was the "nickels" coach last year. That title doesn't seem to exist this season, and Williams will instead coach linebackers. Other assistants: Tyler Yelk: Head coach quality control Tyler Scudder: Defensive quality control Kyle Valero: Offensive assistant Guys who kept their jobs Nick Sirianni (Head coach) Michael Clay (Special teams coordinator) Jeff Stoutland (Run game coordinator / Offensive line) Kevin Patullo (Passing game coordinator) Jemal Singleton (Running Backs / Assistant head coach) Aaron Moorehead (Wide receivers) Jason Michael (Tight ends) Jeremiah Washburn (Defensive ends / Outside Linebackers) Joe Pannunzio (Assistant special teams coordinator) Ted Rath (VP of player performance) Fernando Noriega (Head strength and conditioning coach) Tyler Brown (Special teams assistant) Eric Dickerson (Offensive quality control) https://www.phillyvoice.com/eagles-finalize-2024-coaching-staff-kellen-moore-vic-fangio-nick-sirianni/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
