Eagles Hiring Scot Loeffler, Bowling Green Head Coach, To Be QB Coach

The Eagles promoted internally to fill their offensive coordinator role.

With Doug Nussmeier following Moore for his own promotion to OC, the Eagles had a vacant position to fill at QB coach.

They’ve settled on an option from the college ranks, hiring Bowling Green head coach Scot Loeffler.

Scot Loeffler is being named the new quarterbacks coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Loeffler, a former Michigan quarterback, has been the head coach at Bowling Green State University the past six seasons and led them to a bowl game the last three years.

Loeffler was a quarterback for Michigan before he entered coaching. He’s had stops as a coach at Michigan, Central Michigan, Temple, Florida, Auburn, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Bowling Green in addition to serving as the QB coach for the Lions in 2008. Bowling Green was his first head coaching job and he’d been an OC and QB coach for the eight years prior to his last five years as a head coach.

He’s served as a QB coach or higher on the offense every season since 2000.

He and Eagles receivers coach Aaron Moorehead overlapped and worked on the same staff at Virginia Tech.

He coached TE prospect Harold Fannin Jr. last season, which is an interesting nugget for the draft. The fit with the Eagles seems rough, though, as Fannin is not currently known as a blocker and the Eagles will need that from a tight end who they expect to play a majority of snaps at some point.

It remains to be seen if the Eagles will plan to hire an external candidate to replace T.J. Paganetti, who was also poached by Kellen Moore.
