The Eagles have hired 16 assistants to join head coach Doug Pederson here, including seven coaches retained from the Chip Kelly regime. It's a broad mix to support Pederson. Jim Schwartz runs the defense and he's a former head coach who has been coaching in the NFL for more than 20 seasons with a terrific track record for success. John DeFilippo coaches the quarterbacks after serving as Cleveland's offensive coordinator last season. Ken Flajole, the linebackers coach, was the defensive coordinator for the St. Louis Rams from 2009-11. Frank Reich, the offensive coordinator here, was the coordinator of San Diego's explosive passing offenses in 2014 and 2015 and has also coached quarterbacks and wide receivers after his 13-year playing career ended.
