After serving as the Cleveland Browns' offensive coordinator last season, John DeFilippo will join the Eagles’ coaching staff as the quarterbacks coach in 2016 as the two sides agreed to terms Thursday morning. At the NFL level, DeFilippo has nine years of coaching experience working in different positions for the New York Giants, Oakland Raiders, New York Jets and the Browns. He has also coached at the collegiate level, serving as a quarterbacks coach for the majority of his career.
In his last quarterbacks coach position with the Raiders from 2012-14, DeFilippo helped develop second-round pick Derek Carr, who led all 2014 rookies in completions (348), passing yards (3,270) and passing touchdowns (21).
