The Philadelphia Eagles are fresh off a phenomenal Super Bowl run that saw the team dominate competition on both sides of the ball. They look built to win now and into the future, already giving fans dreams of a potential dynasty after dethroning the Kansas City Chiefs.
Impressively, the Eagles have dealt with significant coaching turnover, routinely losing coordinators and assistants to new opportunities. They've rebuilt well despite that and justifiably enter the offseason favored to win next year's Super Bowl.
After the recent coaching losses, Philadelphia elected to bring back a former face to help mitigate any issues.

Eagles Bring Back OL Coach Greg Austin Amid Departures
According to Eagles insider Eliot Shorr-Parks, former coach Greg Austin will return to the team, likely as an offensive line assistant. He'll join legendary coach Jeff Stoutland's group, giving Philadelphia yet another valued voice on the sidelines.
Austin was with the Jacksonville Jaguars for the last two seasons, serving as an offensive quality control and assistant line coach. He was with the Eagles from 2013-2015 and has coached in some capacity since 2010, splitting time between the collegiate and professional levels.
This seems like a case of a strength getting stronger. Philadelphia's offensive line has long been something that general manager Howie Roseman valued, making this a logical decision to continue bolstering the staff that develops those positions. As we saw in the Super Bowl, sometimes the only thing that matters is how well you play in the trenches, and no team is better equipped to dominate in that area than the Eagles.
After hitting on incredible players like Jalen Carter and Jordan Davis on the defensive line in recent years, the front office may now turn its attention to offensive line given the age of guys like Lane Johnson. With Austin in tow, Philly wants to ensure there's no drop-off in production in 2025.
For now, it's great to welcome a familiar coach back home, particularly given some of the losses the team already sustained on the sidelines.
