2020 incumbent: Duce Staley (now Detroit Lions RBs coach)
The Staley void will need to be filled on the staff and in the locker room. It’s a big hire because of what Staley brought to the team for over a decade. Sirianni can’t just replace Staley with anyone, as he needs to have the next coach expand and improve Miles Sanders’ game.
Sanders is entering the all-important third season, and if the Eagles want to make him a true three-down back, they’ll need to fix the mistakes he made last season. Also, look for the Eagles to add to this group in the draft and bring back Boston Scott to fill out the depth chart.

The linebackers coach, who worked under Schwartz for all five of his seasons with the Eagles, won’t return to the organization, according to Sirius XM NFL Radio’s Alex Marvez. Flajole, 66, might retire, according to Marvez.
Not sure if this is out there but I am hearing that @Eagles LBs coach Ken Flajole won t be back in 2021. May be retiring (he s 66). Coached in college from 1979 to 1997 until jumping to the NFL. Joined Eagles in 2016. Highly respected in league circles. Alex Marvez (@alexmarvez) January 9, 2021
