Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland as OC?
Kellen Moore shouldn't be the only Philadelphia Eagles coach on the New Orleans Saints' radar. If they're serious about hiring him as their head coach, the Saints must make a strong effort to recruit Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland into becoming his top assistant.
There isn't a better offensive line coach in the league than Stoutland, who has held that job since 2013. That's through multiple regime changes and head coach firings, and you'd be hard-pressed to find a team which has done a better job drafting and developing offensive linemen than the Eagles over the last decade-plus. He was given the run-game coordinator title back in 2018 and has been a vital part of one of the league's most consistent rushing attacks. Stoutland has demonstrated a unique ability to scout talent and teach his players the techniques they need to win on Sundays. The Eagles reached a deal on a new contract extension for him in 2023 to ward off interest from other teams interested in hiring Stoutland as an offensive coordinator. Whatever number he needs to move from Philly, the Saints must match it. So pay him what he wants to wear the offensive coordinator title. Maybe draft an explosive running back who can take advantage of the lanes his blockers open up, and take some pressure off Alvin Kamara's shoulders in the final stretch of his career. Let Stoutland take in young pros like Cesar Ruiz and Trevor Penning (both 25 years old) and Taliese Fuaga (22) and see if they can hit their ceilings under his tutelage. Stoutland has the resume that makes gambling on Moore worthwhile, as long as they're a package deal. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/oth...690d83fc&ei=13 |

Re: Eagles offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland as OC?
This would be a win to get him but I am highly skeptical tbe #32 GM in the NFL will be able to fleece the #1 GM in the NFL by offering him the incredible opportunity to jump ship to the oldest most cap constrained team in the league to work with Derek Carr for a promotion in title only that the Eagles could also likely give him if he wanted it. Stoutland could go anywhere he wants. Its worth a try but I dont like our odds. This would also likely force Moore to serve as full time real OC which could challenge his transition to head coach and leave the team short staffed for offensive coaches since I highly doubt Stoutland would want to work with receivers etc as a career oline coach.
