Pederson announced himself on Tuesday that Jim Schwartz was hired as defensive coordinator and that special teams coordinator Dave Fipp and offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland would be retained.
The Eagles also retained running back coach Duce Staley, tight ends coach Justin Peelle and defensive back coach Cory Undlin.
The Eagles made the hiring of Frank Reich as offensive coordinator official on Wednesday and added several new names to the coaching staff.
Here is a list of the rest of the positional coaches.
- John DeFilippo - quarterback coach
