The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Chris Kuper as their new offensive line coach, replacing the recently departed Jeff Stoutland. Kuper, who spent the last four seasons as the offensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings, will now be tasked with maintaining the high standard of play along the Eagles' offensive front.
Why it matters
The Eagles' offensive line has been the backbone of the team's recent success, and Stoutland's departure leaves big shoes to fill. Kuper will need to quickly establish himself and ensure the unit continues to perform at a high level, especially with questions surrounding the health and future of key players like Lane Johnson.
The details
Kuper, 43, has previous NFL coaching experience with the Broncos and Dolphins. He played eight seasons as a guard in the league after being drafted by the Broncos in the fifth round in 2006. The Eagles hired Kuper at the recommendation of new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, who worked with him in Minnesota. Kuper will be tasked with implementing Mannion's West Coast offense, which differs in some ways from the approach favored by the departing Stoutland.
- The Eagles hired Kuper on Monday, February 10, 2026.
- Stoutland, the Eagles' previous offensive line coach, decided to leave the organization last week.

“I'm always excited. You know, sometimes change is not a bad thing. I have the utmost respect for K.P. (Kevin Patullo). To me, he did a tremendous job and he has a great heart. But I'm excited for the season. I'm excited for what's to come.”
— A.J. Brown, Wide receiver (Super Bowl podcast interview with Micah Parsons)
