Philadelphia Eagles Inform Young Coach He Will Not Be Their Next Defensive Coordinator


The Philadelphia Eagles have a massive job to do this off-season if they want to bounce back from their loss in Super Bowl LVII, and the first job for them is to hire two new Coordinator after both Jonathan Gannon and Shane Steichen left for Head Coach roles elsewhere.

They've begun their search with some very interesting candidates, and one of the more intriguing ones is former Wisconsin Defensive Coordinator Jim Leonhard, but earlier today, the team officially informed him that they would be going in another direction.

It's not yet clear who they are targeting, but Vance Joseph has been in the building for two straight days among interest from Denver as well, but for now, it's not going to be the former NFL safety Leonhard that will take over the job.
