If survival in the NFL is an art form, Jeff Stoutland’s body of work should be put on display in Canton, Ohio, at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Stoutland, the Eagles’ offensive line coach of the past 10 years, is the ultimate NFL survivor. And he’s an artist of sorts, the architect and caretaker of a Philadelphia offensive line that may be the key to the Eagles winning Super Bowl 2023 over the Chiefs on Sunday.
This has been some week for Stoutland, a Staten Island native who went to high school at Port Richmond and has never lost his distinct New York accent. He was signed to a contract extension early in the week, turned 61 on Friday and will coach in his second Super Bowl on Sunday. “Every player has a different learning style. He respect players’ learning styles and he tries to figure those out early on, so he knows how to coach everybody up.’’
Go back to Stoutland’s first season in Philadelphia. Eagles running back LeSean McCoy led the NFL with 1,607 rushing yards, shattering the single-season franchise record. The team went from 4-12 the season before to 10-6 and won the NFC East.
