The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Sean Desai as their new defensive coordinator, the team announced Tuesday.
The Eagles also filled their offensive coordinator job earlier Tuesday, promoting quarterbacks coach Brian Johnson to the role.
Desai, 39, was the Chicago Bears' defensive coordinator in 2021 before becoming an associate head coach and defensive assistant for the Seattle Seahawks this past season. Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said there's "no doubt" Desai has the characteristics to be a successful defensive coordinator.
"He's really a brilliant football guy," Carroll said while addressing reporters at the combine in Indianapolis Tuesday.
