PHILADELPHIA -- With the Carson Wentz saga taking up most of the oxygen in the Philadelphia Eagles' office, the coaching staff has become something of an afterthought.
But it's a pretty big deal. First-time head coach Nick Sirianni, 39, has assembled a generally young group with some boom or bust potential, adding risk and intrigue to his mission of replacing Super Bowl winning coach Doug Pederson and getting a flailing Eagles team that finished 4-11-1 last season back on track.
Here are the primary coordinators/position coaches, followed by some analysis.
Jonathan Gannon (Age: 37), defensive coordinator
Shane Steichen (35), offensive coordinator

It's 23 deep and the organization confirmed the group on Thursday.
The major hires - Shane Steichen as offensive coordinator, Jonathan Gannon as defensive coordinator, and Michael Clay as special teams coordinator - had been known for quite some time.
There were, however, some interesting final tweaks to the group, notably former quarterback Alex Tanney, who retired as a player from the New York Giants two days ago, coming on as an offensive quality-control coach.
Steichen arrives in Philadelphia for a reunion with Sirianni. The two were assistants together with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers before Sirianni left for the OC job under Frank Reich in Indianapolis.
