Eagles Hire Chris Kuper as Offensive Line Coach With Vic Fangio's Backing
The Philadelphia Eagles hired Chris Kuper as their new offensive line coach to replace Jeff Stoutland. Kuper got the job partly because Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio and Hall of Famer Mike Munchak both recommended him.
The Philadelphia Eagles hired Chris Kuper as their new offensive line coach, according to NFL Network. Kuper replaces Jeff Stoutland in the key position that teaches players how to protect the quarterback and create running lanes.
Kuper got the job with help from two big endorsements. Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio recommended him, along with Hall of Fame coach Mike Munchak. These recommendations carried weight with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, who made the final choice.
Kuper has solid experience for the role. He spent the last four years as offensive line coach for the Minnesota Vikings under head coach Kevin O'Connell. Before that, he worked under Fangio with the Denver Broncos. Kuper also played as an offensive guard for the Broncos during his NFL career.
The connection between Kuper and Fangio goes back to their time together in Denver. That relationship helped Kuper land this Eagles job, showing how coaching networks often influence hiring decisions across the league.
The offensive line protects the quarterback and opens holes for running backs - key jobs that directly affect how well the Eagles score points. Getting strong endorsements suggests the team found someone who can keep their offense running smoothly.
Kuper will start working with Eagles offensive linemen as the team prepares for the 2025 season.
