Philadelphia Eagles fans are still trying to process the recent news that offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland is leaving the franchise after 13 years with the team.

Stoutland took to social media to announce to the public. Shortly after that, the Eagles released their own statement on the news.

"The Philadelphia Eagles thank Jeff Stoutland for his legendary contributions to the game of football at the college and professional levels. Stout's influences throughout football is immense, having helped countless players reach their true potential, including many who went on to earn All-Pro honors and some who 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 Championship 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 philantrophic intiatives. Although he will not be competing for 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."

Eagles say goodbye to Jeff Stoutland after 13 seasons

Stoutland was such an important piece to the franchise after joining the organization in 2013. He helped so many talented offensive linemen, such as Jordan Mailata, Jason Kelce, Lane Johnson, Evan Mathis, Jason Peters, Brandon Brooks, and many more.

This offseason began with rumors that Stoutland might retire or leave the team in some capacity. A report came out last week stating that he was stripped of his run game coordinator title in the middle of the 2025 season due to struggles in the running game.

Many believe this is just one of many changes coming to the offensive coaching staff after the hiring of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. The quarterbacks coach's job is to conduct interviews for the opening, despite no official word on whether Scot Loeffler is still on the team.
