The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for a new defensive passing game coordinator and defensive backs coach, following the departure of Christian Parker. The most likely candidate is safeties coach Joe Kasper, who has already proven himself as a rising star in the coaching community.
Kasper's experience working under Vic Fangio, now the head coach of the Dolphins, has impressed Fangio enough to keep him on staff in Philadelphia for 2024. Although his title hasn't been officially announced, a promotion is considered likely given his impressive track record and Fangio's trust in him.
On a related note, several Eagles players missed out on being finalists for this year's NFL postseason honors, including the team's best player in 2025, Quinyon Mitchell. Despite having an exceptional season, Mitchell fell short of securing an award, likely due to not recording any regular-season interceptions.
However, Jihaad Campbell did make a notable appearance on the Pro Football Writers Association All-Rookie Team for his outstanding performance as a rookie defensive back. The 2024 All-Rookie team also saw several other talented players across various positions emerge, but Mitchell and Campbell's exclusion from the top awards is no surprise given their relative lack of statistics in certain categories.
As the Eagles begin to rebuild after Parker's departure, Kasper will undoubtedly be tasked with filling a key coaching role. Given Fangio's faith in him and his own impressive credentials, it's likely that Kasper will make an immediate impact on the team's defensive unit.
