Eagles Hire DC
The Eagles officially have announced the hiring of Nick Sirianni and he’s bringing someone from Indy with him.
The #Eagles have agreed to terms with #Colts DBs coach Jonathan Gannon to be their new defensive coordinator, per me and @TomPelissero. A coveted candidate lands in Philly for Nick Sirianni.

Jonathan Gannon, who was hired by Frank Reich as the Colts’ defensive backs coach, impressed in Indianapolis and now gets his first crack at being a coordinator.
Sirianni is also holding onto a long time Eagles coach who looked to have one foot out the door
One more on Philly: New Eagles coach Nick Sirriani is retaining OL coach Jeff Stoutland, per sources. That’s a big one for the new HC.

Stoutland’s been excellent, and had options.
Stoutland was previously thought to be leaving to become Alabama’s offensive line coach but that deal fell through. This retain is huge for guys like Jordan Mailata and the rest of the younger offensive linemen. Stoutland is considered one of the better offensive line coaches in football
