Eagles Finish Coaching Staff Shuffle

PHILADELPHIA (973espn.com) - The Eagles have officially unveiled their 2020 coaching staff by adding four coaches and shuffling the duties of four others.

The newcomers are senior offensive assistant Rich Scangarello, wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead and pass game analyst Andrew Breiner on the offensive side and defensive backs coach Marquand Manuel taking over for Cory Undlin, who is now the defensive coordinator in Detroit.

As expected Press Taylor was named passing game coordinator while also remaining as quarterback coach, enabling him to continue to work with Carson Wentz on a day-to-day basis.

Matt Burke is the new defensive line coach, replacing Phillip Daniels, and will also be the defensive run game coordinator for Jim Schwartz while Dino Vasso was promoted to assistant coordinator/Defense. The only change was T.J. Paganetti adding assistant run game coordinator to his job as assistant RB coach.

Here are the bios for each new coach:
