Eagles Hire Chris Kuper as Offensive Line Coach to Succeed Jeff Stoutland

The move realigns the Eagles’ offensive staff under new play-caller Sean Mannion by separating run-game duties from the O-line coach.

Overview

  • NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the hire Monday, and multiple outlets and a league source confirmed Kuper will take over Philadelphia’s offensive line.
  • Jeff Stoutland announced his departure last week after 13 seasons guiding the Eagles’ line and previously serving as run-game coordinator.
  • Chris Kuper, 43, coached the Vikings’ offensive line from 2022 to 2025; his contract expired after the season and Minnesota did not retain him.
  • Ryan Mahaffey will handle run-game coordinator and tight ends duties under Mannion, and Josh Grizzard has been added as pass-game coordinator.
  • The staff change follows a 2025 regression up front driven by injuries, with reports noting unresolved futures for veterans Lane Johnson and Landon Dickerson.
