Philadelphia has a new offensive assistant.
The Philadelphia Eagles are hiring Georgia assistant quarterbacks coach Montgomery VanGorder as an offensive assistant on Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff, according to a report from Matt Zenitz.
It’s worth noting that the Eagles recently lost offensive assistant Kyle Valero with Kellen Moore hiring him away to the New Orleans Saints’ coaching staff.
VanGorder seemingly has familiarity with new Eagles quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler. The two haven’t previously coached together but VanGorder’s father, Brian, was Loeffler’s defensive coordinator at Bowling Green from 2019-2020.
Here’s some insight on VanGorder and his work at Georgia from Dawg Nation:
VanGorder has been working at Georgia since the 2019 season, working his way up the organizational depth chart. [..] VanGorder has been frequently credited with helping develop quarterbacks at Georgia, especially since Buster Faulkner left to become the offensive coordinator at Georgia Tech following the 2022 season. VanGorder has worked hand-in-hand with Mike Bobo, who will be back as Georgia’s quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator for the 2025 season.
VanGorder was part of Georgia’s coaching staff when they were back-to-back National Champions and quarterbacked by Stetson Bennett. He more recently worked with Carson Beck.
We already knew the Eagles liked Georgia players but they apparently like Georgia coaches, too.
