Filling Out the Eagles 2026 Coaching Staff
We’re a few days from finding out the Super Bowl LX winner, and the Eagles have already begun preparing to fill their position-coach roles while simultaneously opening up more availability, making the offseason checklist a little longer.
The Good, The Bad, The Ugly
Kevin Patullo
It didn’t take very long after the wildcard round for Howie Roseman to confirm the Eagles would be looking for their 5th Offensive Coordinator during the 6-year Nick Sirianni tenure. Moving on from Patullo was the right decision, as the Eagles struggled 18+ weeks and seemingly burned some extra bridges as things went on. With an Eagles offense that had 10/11 returning offensive starters (Mekhi Becton, Tyler Steen), the Eagles went from a powerhouse ranking 5th in PPG (29.0) during the 2024 campaign to 19th with only 22.1 PPG.
Chopping off an entire touchdown from the Eagles’ scoring would’ve been enough points for them to finish the year 14-3. Alas, safe and turnover-free football ended its season over a month ago.
Sean Mannion
Since retiring in 2023, Mannion has been involved with the Green Bay Packers as both Offensive Assistant and Quarterbacks Coach. Getting to work alongside Matt LaFleur, who is viewed as an elite coach around the league. And working with Jordan Love’s development over the past few seasons has primed Mannion for a promotion heading into the 2026 season.
Was he the Eagles’ first option? Probably not.
But as Mike McDaniel, Brian Daboll, and other top OC/HC options came off the board, the Eagles had to strike for their guy. Giving Mannion autonomy on offense opened the door to creativity and the ability to bring in the guys he wanted.
Ryan Mahaffey
Yesterday, the Eagles hired Ryan Mahaffey as the Run Game Coordinator and Tight Ends Coach. Filling out roles previously filled by Jeff Stoutland and Jason Michael.
Mahaffey was previously in Green Bay with Mannion as the wide receivers coach and Assistant offensive line coach.
So far, the Eagles’ new hires are proving that Mannion will get to bring in his own staff.
But pushing out tenured coaches like Jeff Stoutland, who helped develop elite players from Jason Kelce and Lane Johnson, to turning a rugby player into an All-Pro in Jordan Mailata.
Scot Loeffler & Aaron Moorehead
There’s also no current answer whether the team will retain Scot Loeffler, who might have been the mastermind behind getting Dallas Goedert 11 touchdowns in 2025.
While it seems coaches like Aaron Moorehead, who has held onto his job as wide receivers coach for the last 6 years, have struggled to develop a single receiver outside of DeVonta Smith. Who, let’s be real—he wasn’t turned into the player he is today by Moorehead.
There’s still a long offseason to go with plenty of roster and coaching changes along the way.
Whose on your list for the Eagles’ next move?
