D.K. McDonald departing Eagles to accept DC job at Kansas

The Eagles are losing another staffer, as defensive backs coach D.K. McDonald is expected to go to Kansas to become the Jayhawks new co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach.

Before arriving in Philadelphia, he’d spent the previous five seasons at Iowa State, where he served as the pass game coordinator and worked with the defensive backs.

McDonald is replacing former co-defensive coordinator and defensive backs coach Jordan Peterson who left to assume a position on the Texas A&M staff.

Kansas is coming off of back-to-back bowl game appearances under head coach Lance Leipold.
