The Eagles are beefing up their coaching staff, figuratively and literally
Nick Sirianni’s staff is going to look quite different in 2024.
The Philadelphia Eagles hired a new defensive coordinator in Vic Fangio and they’re hiring new defensive assistants as well.

The Eagles are expected to add former Seattle Seahawks DC Clint Hurtt to Nick Sirianni’s staff as a defensive line coach, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero.
They’re also expected to hire former Seahawks senior defensive assistant/defensive passing game coordinator Karl Scott in some capacity. Pelissero says Aaron Wilson Scott will coach Eagles defensive backs while Aaron Wilson reports Scott will have a “senior defensive role.”
Let’s take a closer look at each of these new hires
CLINT HURTT
Hurtt, 45, played on the defensive line in college if you couldn’t already guess that from his picture above this article. An injury ended his playing career and prompted him to get into coaching. Here’s a snapshot of his experience:
- 2003-2004 — Miami graduate assistant
- 2005 — FIU defensive line coach
- 2006-2009 — Miami defensive line coach
- 2010-2013 — Louisville defensive line coach
- 2014 — Chicago Bears assistant defensive line coach
- 2015-2016 — Chicago Bears outside linebackers coach
- 2017-2021 — Seattle Seahawks assistant head coach/defensive line coach
- 2022-2023 — Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator
Hurtt notably overlapped with Fangio in Chicago for two seasons.
