Eagles hire Sean Desai as defensive coordinator to replace departed Jonathan Gannon

Philadelphia has made the move official, and Sean Desai will be the Eagles’ new defensive coordinator, replacing Jonathan Gannon

The Eagles have now made the move official, hiring Seahawks assistant head coach Sean Desai for the position of defensive coordinator.

Desai was associate head coach of the Seahawks for one season after spending eight years with the Chicago Bears from 2013-2021, serving as defensive coordinator, safeties coach, and defensive quality control coach.

Philadelphia had the NFL’s top-ranked pass defense and No. 2 total defense last season, as Desai looks to duplicate that success while adding some new wrinkles.
