Legendary offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland has announced he's leaving the Eagles after 13 seasons.

After 13 seasons, two Super Bowl titles and 27 Pro Bowl nods for his players, Jeff Stoutland is stepping away from coaching the Eagles.

The legendary offensive line coach made the announcement on Wednesday evening. He’ll go down as one of the greatest coaches in franchise history.

Here’s the full announcement from Stoutland:

This decision to step away was Stoutland's, league sources have indicated to NBC Sports Philadelphia. The Eagles wanted Stout to return in 2026 but his overall role would have been different. Stoutland has had the extra title of "run game coordinator" since 2018 but that was changing with the change in offensive scheme. In fact, Stoutland's role as run game coordinator was removed at some point during the 2025 season, the Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane reportedly recently.

For now, Stoutland is expected to be around the team in an unofficial role as he steps back from coaching. But it's unclear what the future will hold for him.

The Eagles on Wednesday evening released the following statement:

"The Philadelphia Eagles thank Jeff Stoutland for his legendary contributions to the game of football at the college and professional levels. 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 two 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 National Football League. 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 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.”

Stoutland, 63, joined the Eagles coaching staff in 2013 when Chip Kelly was hired as head coach. Stoutland previously coached at Alabama from 2011-2012 (winning two national titles) and had already had a long and successful career as a college coach before making the jump to the NFL.

The two seasons before Stoutland got to Philadelphia, the Eagles’ offensive line was coached by the legendary Howard Mudd. Stoutland more than carried that mantle. The Eagles have had just three offensive line coaches in the last 28 seasons: Juan Castillo from 1998-2010, Mudd from 2011-2012 and Stoutland from 2013-2025.

Over the last 13 seasons, Stoutland worked under Kelly, Doug Pederson and spent the last five seasons working under Nick Sirianni. He survived the firings of Kelly and Pederson and earned his reputation as one of the best offensive line coaches in the NFL.

But as the Eagles look ahead to the 2026 season under 33-year-old offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, they’ll have a new offensive line coach for the first time in over a decade as they rework the staff.

The Eagles won the Super Bowl in 2017 and in 2024 with Stoutland as their offensive line coach. In 2024, Stoutland helped guide the Eagles’ rushing attack, which featured a 2,000-yard season from Saquon Barkley.

During his 13 years with the Eagles, Stoutland coached a ton of the best offensive linemen in the NFL and routinely got the most out of them. Eagles offensive linemen made a combined 22 Pro Bowls from 1956 through 2012 before Stoutland. In his time as offensive line coach, Eagles offensive linemen made a total of 27 Pro Bowls, by far the most in the NFL during that span.

Under Stout, 10 different offensive linemen have started at least 25 games. Seven of those 10 have made at least one Pro Bowl as an Eagle: Evan Mathis, Jason Peters, Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Brandon Brooks, Landon Dickerson. The others are Allen Barbre, Jordan Mailata and Isaac Seumalo, who did make one with the Steelers.

Players like Lane Johnson, Jason Kelce, Jason Peters, Brandon Brooks and more have praised Stoutland during his Eagles career.

I'll refrain from speculating about any front office politics and just say that this is a sad day.

See ya.

Time for a change. A new regime. A different way of approaching the Offensive philosophy.

The run game stunk early in the year then Nick took th erun game coordinator job from him. Result - run game was much better in the second half of the year.

As far as developing players -

Hign draft pick who should make it: Cam Jurgens, Landon Dickerson, Lane Johnson, Isaac Seumalo

Hits: Mailata, Fred Johnson, Toth, Jason Kelce

So-so: Tyler Steen, Jack Driscoll, Matt Pryor, Big V

Misses: Trevor Keegan, Prince Taga-Winago, Andre Dilliad

No decision: Cameron Williams, Myles Hinton, Drew Kendall, Dylan McMahon

Certainly not as impressive as it's made out to be.
