The Eagles are fortunate to have an experience defensive coordinator that isn’t interested in looking for a different job around the league. Despite not losing Vic Fangio to this coaching cycle, his staff will look different with DB coach Christian Parker leaving for a DC job with the Cowboys, and DL coach Clint Hurtt interviewing for a DC position with the Dolphins. The Eagles have opted to promote from within to replace Parker’s role, and have tapped Joe Kasper for the opportunity.
Kasper re-joined the team’s coaching staff under Fangio in 2024 and was in charge of the safety room. It was a position that needed to be fluid due to roster changes and injuries, and the way the Eagles cross-train different players, required him to be involved with the CBs, as well. He was a highly regarded member of the defensive coaching staff during their Super Bowl run, and will now take on more responsibility.
The Eagles will likely still have some other positions to fill over the next few weeks, but it’s good to start securing their internal guys before looking elsewhere for candidates.
