Moments ago the Eagles hosted a press conference to officially introduce their new Head Coach Doug Pederson. Not only that, but Pederson himself officially announced the Eagles Defensive Coordinator for the 2016 season.
And Doug Pederson announces that his defensive coordinator will be Jim Schwartz.

The Eagles played a very smart game by announcing two members of staff in the same press conference and ending all speculation at once.
Schwartz took on an 0-16 Lions team and transformed it over the next five years as Head Coach, leading their Defense progressively up the rankings as his career progressed. After being fired however, he spent 2014 as the Bills Defensive Coordinator, leading the Bills D up to an impressive fourth overall rank.
We will bring you the very best from Pederson’s first press conference within the next hour.
