The Philadelphia Eagles' coaching staff is facing an uncertainty, as Christian Parker, the team's defensive passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach, has left for a defensive coordinator role with the Dallas Cowboys.
The question now is who will replace Parker. One name that comes to mind is Joe Kasper, the safeties coach who was with the Eagles from 2021 to 2022 and later followed Vic Fangio to Miami before returning to Philadelphia in 2024. Fangio trusts Kasper, having coached him at both the Dolphins and the Eagles, and it's likely that Kasper will be promoted to a more senior role.
Meanwhile, the Eagles' players are feeling the heat, as none of them were selected as finalists for the NFL postseason honors this year. A year ago, several players, including quarterback Jalen Hurts, linebacker Zack Baun, and rookie Quinyon Mitchell, were among those recognized by the league. However, in 2025, Mitchell was overlooked despite having a strong regular season, and other young players like Jihaad Campbell, who impressed with his performances before Nakobe Dean returned to the starting lineup.
Campbell did receive some recognition, however, as he made it onto the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team. The team's list of rookies included Tyler Shough at quarterback and TreVeyon Henderson and Ashton Jeanty at running back.
It's clear that the Eagles' coaching staff is undergoing some changes, with Parker leaving and Kasper likely to be promoted. As for the players, it seems they'll have to work harder to get recognized by the league if they want to earn postseason honors.

. First, Christian Parker leaves and then we're left wondering who's gonna step up as defensive coordinator? I mean, Joe Kasper seems like a solid choice, but it's not all about finding someone new, is it? The players need to step their game up too 
. It's crazy how much pressure they must be feeling with no one getting selected for those postseason honors last year 
. Quinyon Mitchell was on fire, yet he didn't get recognized 
. And now Campbell's got some recognition, but it's not the same as earning it yourself, you know? 
Maybe the Eagles just need to regroup and get back to basics?
, that dude had a solid season! on the bright side, Campbell's recognition is still fire 
, he's gonna be a star for real 
now it's time for Kasper to step up as a lead coach 
fingers crossed he gets it right and we see some changes in the team 
. They gotta step up their game if they wanna get recognized for their efforts in 2025! 
I remember when he was here, he helped us improve our D and we were so close to making the playoffs! 
but what's up with Jalen Hurts not makin' any postseason honors? 
it's like the league forgot about 'em... or maybe they just didn't play good enough? 
This year's rookie class isn't as shabby as I thought... Campbell getting on that Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team is a definite plus! But still, it's a bummer that none of our guys made it as finalists for the NFL postseason honors 
. Maybe they'll get some nods next year if they can build on what they did in 2024 
. Jalen Hurts is still an amazing QB but somehow he missed out 
. Meanwhile, some other teams are getting all the love and their young players are being snubbed 
. It's like they're invisible 
. Maybe it's time for the Eagles to shake things up and bring in someone new with fresh eyes 
. The question is, will that change bring more recognition or just more disappointment? 
i'm not sure about joe kasper though, he's a solid coach but can he handle the pressure of being defensive coordinator? the eagles need someone who can bring some stability and cohesion to their secondary, which has been shaky at times 
️. Anyway, Joe Kasper seems like a solid choice to replace him - Fangio trusts him, which is key 
.
. Jihaad Campbell did make it onto the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team, though, so that's a good sign 
. Maybe the Eagles just need to give those young players more reps and help them fine-tune their skills 
! Like, it's not exactly common for defensive coordinators to switch teams mid-season 
. But hey, that's football, right?
