The Philadelphia Eagles are adding former Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Matt Burke to their coaching staff as a “top aide” to Jim Schwartz, according to a report from ESPN.
Burke, 42, has previously worked with Schwartz. When Schwartz was defensive coordinator for the Tennessee Titans (2001 through 2008), Burke served as an administrative assistant (2004 through 2005) and defense quality control coach (2006 through 2008). Burke then joined Schwartz’s coaching staff in Detroit as the Lions’ linebacker coach (2009 through 2013).
After Schwartz’s staff was fired, Burke ended up coaching the Cincinnati Bengals’ linebackers for two years before joining Adam Gase’s Miami coaching staff in 2016.
