One of the most respected offensive line coaches in the country, Jeff Stoutland enters his ninth season with the Philadelphia Eagles. He is the longest-tenured member of the Eagles' coaching staff.
Stoutland, who boasts 38 years of coaching experience, has directed some of the league's most prolific offensive lines, tutoring Pro Bowl selections in each of his first eight seasons in Philadelphia. In total, he has led five players to 16 Pro Bowls – guard Brandon Brooks (2018-20), tackle Lane Johnson (2018-20), center Jason Kelce (2015, '17, '20-21), guard Evan Mathis (2014-15) and tackle Jason Peters (2014-17). Kelce's four career Pro Bowls under Stoutland's guidance are the most by any center in team history. Furthermore, Peters is the only Eagles tackle to ever receive four consecutive Pro Bowl nods.
Stoutland has also helped four players to seven All-Pro honors – Johnson (2017), Kelce (2017-19), Mathis (2013) and Peters (2013-14). Kelce is one of nine players (one of four offensive linemen) in franchise history to be named first-team All-Pro three times.
Philadelphia's offensive lines have featured three Pro Bowlers on four occasions, including twice under Stoutland – 2014 (Kelce, Mathis and Peters) and 2019 (Brooks, Kelce and Johnson). Additionally, Stoutland has coached two of the five Eagles offensive lines with multiple All-Pros – 2013 (Mathis and Peters) and 2017 (Johnson and Kelce).
Stoutland mentored one of the most dominant offensive lines in the NFL during Philadelphia's Super Bowl LII-winning season in 2017. The Eagles, who produced a team-record-tying 13 wins en route to an NFC East championship and No. 1 seed in the playoffs, led the league in red zone offense (65.5 pct.) and also ranked third in rushing offense (132.2 ypg) and offensive points per game (26.3).
Stoutland's unit has helped Philadelphia set numerous franchise records, including points (474 in 2014) and touchdowns (54 in 2014). In addition, his offensive line blocked for the NFL's leading rusher – LeSean McCoy (1,607 yards) – during the 2013 season.
At Alabama, Stoutland's 2012 offensive line was viewed by many insiders as the best in college football history. The unit featured a pair of first-team All-Americans – center Barrett Jones (who became the school's first Rimington Trophy winner as the nation's top center) and guard Chance Warmack – who helped pave the way to the Crimson Tide's second consecutive BCS National Championship.
In 2011, Alabama's offensive line allowed the second-fewest sacks (17) in the conference. Jones and center William Vlachos were named first-team All-SEC, while Jones was also recognized with the Outland Trophy as the nation's top interior lineman.
Prior to joining the Crimson Tide, Stoutland coached the offensive line at Miami (FL) from 2007-10 and was the team's interim head coach in the 2010 Hyundai Sun Bowl. In his final year, Stoutland helped the Hurricanes lead the ACC in total offense (421.3 ypg) and finish third in rushing offense (182.5 ypg). Guard Brandon Washington and tackles Orlando Franklin and Jason Fox each collected all-conference honors under Stoutland before moving on to the NFL.
During his time at Michigan State (2000-06), Stoutland worked with six All-Big Ten players, including five who advanced to the NFL – tackle Ulish Booker, centers Kyle Cook and Chris Morris, and guards Tupe Peko and William Whitticker. The Spartans' offensive line played a key role in the nation's fifth-ranked offense in 2005. Michigan State finished 10th in the NCAA in rushing in 2004, allowing only eight sacks.
Stoutland spent three years as an assistant at Syracuse, coaching the tight ends from 1997-98 before taking over the offensive line in 1999. He developed first-team All-Big East tackle Mark Baniewicz and tight ends Roland Williams and Kaseem Sinceno.
From 1993-96, Stoutland tutored the offensive line at Cornell. He also held two stints with his alma mater, Southern Connecticut State, serving as the offensive coordinator (1988-92) and inside linebackers coach (1984-85). Between his stops with the Owls, Stoutland worked as a graduate assistant at Syracuse from 1986-87.
A three-year starter at inside linebacker at Southern Connecticut State, Stoutland earned All-America honors as a senior and was a team captain. He earned his bachelor's degree in physical education in 1984 and added a master's degree in exercise physiology in 1986.
A native of New York City, he and his wife, Allison, who is a published children's author, have two children, Jake and Madison.
