Overview
- Jeff Stoutland said last week he would not return after 13 seasons leading Philadelphia’s offensive line.
- Stoutland’s tenure produced two Super Bowl titles and 27 Pro Bowl selections among his linemen, cementing his developmental legacy.
- Philadelphia has hired former Vikings offensive line coach Chris Kuper, who coached in Minnesota for four seasons.
- Kuper helped develop left tackle Christian Darrisaw and launched rookie Donovan Jackson’s strong start before parting with Minnesota last month.
- Jason Kelce praised Stoutland’s impact and said he wished the veteran coach could have stayed through the team’s offensive redesign, which already shifted run-game duties and replaced Kevin Patullo with Sean Mannion; separate commentary from a Cowboys outlet casts Dallas assistant Klayton Adams as a rising line coach in the NFC East.
