It’s been another busy day for the Philadelphia Eagles and in typical Eagles fashion it’s been rounded off with a huge piece of news. The birds have agreed to terms with 15 members of their coaching staff according to a press release.
The official list was tweeted out by Eliot Shorr Parks just moments ago.

So what can we take from this? Well for starters, Billy Davis has officially been released which for many fans is a huge relief whilst for others, not so much.
Greg Lewis has indeed returned to Philadelphia as a coach for the Wide Receivers. Lewis played for the birds between 2003-2008 and will bring a veteran presence to the table as well as some coaching experience at the college level.
As we speculated earlier today, former Rams DC Ken Flajole will now coach the linebackers. Flajole coached this role with New Orleans in 2012.
Other new faces include Tim Hauck who is officially the assistant coach for the Secondary and Eugene Chung who will oversee every Offensive position except the QB, RB and WR. Chung followed Reid to the Chiefs and is now returning to Philadelphia.
Former Bears and Redskins Defensive End Phillip Daniels is now an assistant Defensive Line coach..an interesting call when you take into account the predicted change to a 4-3.
Former Tight End Justin Peele has moved up from assistant TE Coach to taking over the Tight End Coach role.
Duce Staley remains as running back coach and as predicted, Fipp is also retained as the teams special teams ace. The team are still to hire a QB coach as well as one for their defensive line but with rumours of DeFilippo being the front runner, that could change soon.
#Eagles new faces are Frank Reich (OC), Jim Schwartz (DC), Eugene Chung, Ken Flajole (LB), Greg Lewis (WR), Tim Hauck (DB/S).
