The Eagles have their defensive coordinator of choice, Vic Fangio, and he’s already started building a solid staff.
According to Tom Pelissero, Fangio is hiring former Seahawks defensive line coach Clint Hurtt for the position of defensive line coach.

Hurtt was Seattle’s defensive play-caller for the last two seasons but had been with the club since 2017 and operated under the dual role of Seahawks’ assistant head coach and defensive line coach.
During the 2015 and 2016 seasons, Hurtt worked with Fangio in Chicago as the Bears’ outside linebackers coach.
