One of the most respected offensive line coaches in the country, Jeff Stoutland enters his 12th season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is the longest-tenured member of the Eagles' coaching staff.
Stoutland, who boasts 41 years of coaching experience, has developed some of the league's best offensive lines, tutoring Pro Bowl players during each of his first 11 seasons in Philadelphia. He is one of two offensive line coaches since the 1970 merger to produce Pro Bowlers in 11 consecutive years with the same team, joining Jim McNally (1981-91, Bengals).
In total, Stoutland has led six players to 23 Pro Bowls – guard Brandon Brooks (2018-20), guard Landon Dickerson (2023-24), tackle Lane Johnson (2018-20, '23-24), center Jason Kelce (2015, '17, '20-24), guard Evan Mathis (2014-15), and tackle Jason Peters (2014-17). Kelce and Brooks have each received the most Pro Bowl nods at their position in franchise history, while Peters is the only Eagles tackle to earn four straight Pro Bowl accolades.
Additionally, Stoutland has aided four players to 13 All-Pro honors – Johnson (2017, '21-23), Kelce (2017-19, '21-23), Mathis (2013), and Peters (2013-14). Kelce is the only center in NFL history to win a Super Bowl and receive six first-team All-Pro honors during their career. He is also one of three players in franchise history to collect six first-team All-Pro selections, joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Chuck Bednarik and Reggie White.
Philadelphia's offensive lines have featured three Pro Bowlers on six occasions, including four times under Stoutland – 2014 (Kelce, Mathis, Peters), 2019 (Brooks, Johnson, Kelce), 2022 (Dickerson, Johnson, Kelce), and 2023 (Dickerson, Johnson, Kelce). Stoutland has coached five of the eight Eagles offensive lines with multiple All-Pro players as well – 2013 (Mathis, Peters), 2017 (Johnson, Kelce), 2021 (Johnson, Kelce), 2022 (Johnson, Kelce), and 2023 (Johnson, Kelce).
During his time in Philadelphia, Stoutland has mentored two offensive lines that contributed to Super Bowl appearances. In 2017, the Eagles captured Super Bowl LII after registering a 13-3 record in the regular season. In 2022, Philadelphia went 14-3 and advanced to Super Bowl LVII.
Stoutland's unit has helped the Eagles set numerous team records, including regular-season wins (14 in 2022), points (477 in 2022), total touchdowns (59 in 2022), scrimmage touchdowns (57 in 2022), rushing yards (2,715 in 2021), rushing touchdowns (32 in 2022, tied for fourth in NFL history), total first downs (385 in 2022), third-down conversion rate (48.0 pct. in 2023), fourth-down conversions (22 in 2022), and red zone touchdown efficiency (67.8 pct. in 2022). It also blocked for the NFL's leading rusher – LeSean McCoy (1,607 yards) – during the 2013 campaign.
While coaching at Alabama, Stoutland's 2012 offensive line was viewed by many as the best in college football history. The group featured a pair of first-team All-Americans – center Barrett Jones and guard Chance Warmack – who helped pave the way to the Crimson Tide's second consecutive BCS National Championship. Under Stoutland's guidance, Jones won the Rimington Trophy (first player in school history voted as the nation's top center) in 2012 and Outland Trophy (nation's top interior lineman) in 2011. Center William Vlachos also garnered first-team All-SEC honors in 2011.
Prior to joining Alabama, Stoutland oversaw the offensive line at Miami (FL) from 2007-10 and was the team's interim head coach in the 2010 Sun Bowl. In his final year, he helped the Hurricanes lead the ACC in total offense (421.3 ypg) and finish third in rushing offense (182.5 ypg). Guard Brandon Washington and tackles Orlando Franklin and Jason Fox each collected all-conference honors under Stoutland before moving on to the NFL.
Stoutland worked with six All-Big Ten players throughout his tenure at Michigan State (2000-06), including five who went to the pros – tackle Ulish Booker, centers Kyle Cook and Chris Morris, and guards Tupe Peko and William Whitticker. The Spartans' offensive line played a key role in the nation's fifth-ranked offense in 2005. Furthermore, Michigan State ranked 10th in the NCAA in rushing and allowed only eight sacks in 2004.
Stoutland spent three years as an assistant at Syracuse, coaching the tight ends from 1997-98 before taking over the offensive line in 1999. During that stretch, he developed first-team All-Big East tackle Mark Baniewicz as well as tight ends Roland Williams and Kaseem Sinceno.
From 1993-96, Stoutland coached the offensive line at Cornell. He also held two stints with his alma mater, Southern Connecticut State, serving as the offensive coordinator (1988-92) and inside linebackers coach (1984-85). Between his stops with the Owls, Stoutland worked as a graduate assistant at Syracuse during the 1986-87 seasons.
A three-year starter at inside linebacker at Southern Connecticut State, Stoutland earned All-America honors as a senior and was a team captain. He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1984 and added a master's degree in exercise physiology in 1986.
A native of New York City, he and his wife, Allison, who is a published children's author, have two children, Jake and Madison.
