Jason Kelce Denies Report Eagles Players Wanted Jeff Stoutland Fired

Jason Kelce Denies Report Eagles Players Wanted Jeff Stoutland Fired
World Sports · 05:56:10 - Saturday, 7 November 2026

Former Philadelphia Eagles center Jason Kelce has publicly refuted a rumor suggesting that Eagles players wanted offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland removed from his position. Kelce, who played his entire 13-year NFL career under Stoutland's guidance, addressed the speculation that had circulated regarding player dissatisfaction with the longtime assistant coach.

Stoutland has been the Eagles' offensive line coach since 2013 and is widely regarded as one of the premier position coaches in the NFL. Under his tutelage, Philadelphia's offensive line consistently ranked among the league's best, helping the team win Super Bowl LII. Kelce, a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro, retired after the 2023 season and has since transitioned to a media role with ESPN.
