The Eagles have hired former Packers wide receivers coach Ryan Mahaffey as their next run-game coordinator and tight ends coach, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Mahaffey coached two seasons in Green Bay with Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. He held multiple positions during his five years with the Packers: one year as an offensive quality control coach, two years each as an assistant offensive line coach and wide receivers coach.
In Philadelphia, Mahaffey will replace legendary offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland as the Eagles’ run game coordinator. The run scheme next season is expected to look drastically different from Stoutland’s inside-zone scheme. Under Mannion, the Eagles will add creative elements to their run game and lean more on outside-zone runs to keep defenses on its heels.
Now, the Eagles must hire a new offensive line coach to help Mahaffey install the system and turn around an underperforming offensive line.
Mahaffey is also replacing tight ends coach Jason Michael, who joined the Eagles in 2021 as a part of head coach Nick Sirianni’s first staff.
Before getting into coaching, Mahaffey played two seasons in the NFL as a fullback for the Ravens, Colts and Dolphins. He coached eight seasons with three college programs (Northern Iowa, Western Kentucky and Notre Dame) prior to joining the Packers in 2021.
