Report: Eagles to hire Clint Hurtt as defensive line coach

The Eagles have found another assistant for their revamped defensive coaching staff.

Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Media, Philadelphia is expected to hire former Seahawks defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt as defensive line coach.

Hurtt was Seattle’s DC for the last two seasons but had been with the club since 2017. From then through 2021 he was the Seahawks’ assistant head coach and defensive line coach.

From 2015-2016, Hurtt worked with new Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio with the Bears. Hurtt was Chicago’s outside linebackers coach with Fangio as the team’s defensive coordinator.

After bringing on Fangio, Philadelphia has also reportedly looked at former Packers defensive coordinator to be the team’s linebackers coach.

The revamp under Nick Sirianni continues. Just days ago, the Philadelphia Eagles took in Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore to spearhead the defense and offense (respectively) as coordinators. Now, it looks like Sirianni is making another move as the team looks to start fresh in 2024.

The Eagles are expected to hire former Seattle Seahawks defensive coordinator Clint Hurtt as their defensive line coach, per NFL Network’s Per Tom Pelissero.

Hurtt’s departure from the Seahawks comes just after the end of Pete Carroll’s tenure as Seattle’s head coach. Joining the Seahawks in 2017, Hurtt took on roles as the team’s defensive line coach and assistant head coach before being named defensive coordinator in 2022. Currently, the 45-year-old will be working under Fangio to ensure that the Eagles don’t experience a repeat of this season’s heartbreak.
