The Eagles are beefing up their coaching staff, figuratively and literally

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 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.
