The Philadelphia Eagles continue to pay the price for their success, as they have once again lost another assistant coach.
This time, it is assistant linebackers/defensive quality control coach Ronell Williams leaving the Eagles, as he will be taking the linebackers coach job with the Las Vegas Raiders. Williams had been with the Eagles organization since 2023, starting as the nickel corners coach before moving up to assistant linebackers/defensive quality control coach in 2024.
Before taking the Raiders job, Williams had interviewed with the Dallas Cowboys to potentially join former Eagles defensive backs coach and now Cowboys defensive coordinator Christian Parker's staff. Las Vegas has several connections to the Eagles, including former Eagles front office members Brandon Hunt and Anthony Patch, who are now with the Raiders.
Ronell Williams leaves Eagles staff for Raiders
Williams joins Parker as an assistant on Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio's staff, leaving the team. This time around, at least the coach is leaving the conference and still moving up.
The Eagles continue to prove that NFL teams are seeing the success happening in Philly and want to replicate it for themselves. Philly has been in the top 13 in defense in each of the last two years under Fangio as the defensive coordinator.
Eagles fans hope this will be the last of the staff departures, and they can finally finalize the coaching staff before shifting focus to free agency. Even if they slow down for the rest of the 2026 offseason, expect more of the same in the next offseason for the Eagles as they continue their success.

Another coach is off the board for the Eagles coaching staff and will need to be replaced, but Fangio has proven to have a good eye for talent, so they should be just fine for 2026.
