Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive line coach Howard Mudd died at the age of 78 on Wednesday, according to a report from The Athletic’s Zak Keefer. Mudd had been in a Seattle hospital for multiple weeks after being involved in a motorcycle accident.
It was a big deal when the Eagles lured Mudd out of retirement back in 2011; he was considered to be one of the greatest offensive line coaches in NFL history. It was also an ... interesting ... time because the Eagles moved former long-time offensive line coach Juan Castillo to defensive coordinator but that’s another story entirely.
