After a thorough search for a new defensive coordinator, which included Michigan’s Jesse Minter, Georgia’s Glenn Schumann, and NFL assistants Vance Joseph, Chris Shula, and Vic Fangio, the Philadelphia Eagles landed with Sean Desai, a 39-year-old Fangio disciple.
Desai has strong ties to the Philadelphia area (Temple) and has built a strong reputation over his coaching career — most recently with the Chicago Bears (2021), where he served as defensive coordinator, and the Seattle Seahawks (2022), where he was associate head coach and defensive assistant.
