NFC champions Philadelphia Eagles have officially lost both of their in game coordinators on the offensive and defensive side of the ball, with the Eagles having a spectacular season this year by making it to the Super Bowl, a lot of this coaching staff as they had all time seasons on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball with lots of improvement over the last two seasons with third year quarterback Jalen Hurts. Let’s go through each of the hires and what this means for both teams.
The Indianapolis Colts have hired Eagles offensive coordinator Shane Steichen as their new head coach. With Steichen having great success with developing Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts, the Colts really admired Steichen as a coach who can fill the Colts whole at quarterback with potential drafting a QB and developing him like Shane did with Jalen Hurts. This gives the Colts a good chance to fix their quarterback position for the future and hopefully spring an already good roster into the playoffs next season.
The other loss for the Eagles is defensive coordinator Johnathan Gannon who had a terrific defense as the Eagles had the third most sacks in NFL history last season. With the Cardinals reportedly struggling to find a head coach because of quarterback Kyler Murray, the Cardinals had to do some searching as they found their guy in Gannon, with over eighty percent of the NFL head coaches being on the offensive side of the ball, the Cardinals have definitely made a out of the box type of hire.
