Former offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland reveals what went wrong for Eagles in 2025: 'It ain't that hard'

Stoutland said that play-calling and execution were two reasons why this Eagles offense failed to live up to expectations.

"I think anytime things don't go well, and I don't want to sound like I'm in an interview, but it's the truth. It's execution, it's calling the right play at the right time, and not running bad plays into bad defenses," Stoutland said. "I mean, it ain't that hard. I'm not going to sit here and make up all these ... that's pretty much it."

On paper, the Eagles had one of the best offenses in the NFL. A reigning Super Bowl MVP at quarterback in Hurts, the reigning Offensive Player of the Year at running back with Saquon Barkley, one of the best offensive lines in the NFL that was still a top 10 unit despite multiple injuries, and then plenty of pass catchers, such as Brown, DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert. However, moving the ball down the field was a chore this past season.

There's more to this story than Stoutland is revealing. ESPN reported that Sirianni and Patullo started incorporating changes to the run game in an effort to get the offense off the ground last season. Stoutland, the run-game coordinator, was not consulted about these changes, "to what he felt was an appropriate degree," a source told ESPN. Stoutland's agent, Alan Herman, indicated that his client felt like his voice was not being heard in the organization.

Stoutland reportedly didn't plan on retiring right now, but clearly didn't like how this past season went down on the field and off the field.
