The Eagles appear headed for a complete defensive overhaul.
With Sean Desai landing the job as defensive coordinator, defensive backs coach, and passing game coordinator Dennard Wilson has decided the part ways with the franchise.
Wilson got his start as a scout for the Bears in 2006 and he’s been climbing the ranks since then. Before joining Sirianni’s staff, Wilson was the defensive passing game coordinator for the New York Jets and helped develop Jamal Adams and Marcus Maye.
This season he led a group that’s among the NFL’s best and Wilson was a huge part of Reed Blankenship’s development as a rookie.
During the coaching cycle, Wilson interviewed for the Browns defensive coordinator job that went to former Eagles assistant coach Jim Schwartz.
Things could get interesting over the next few weeks and we’re looking at four takeaways from the move.
