The Philadelphia Eagles will hire Sean Desai as their new defensive coordinator.

Desai will replace Jonathan Gannon, who left to become the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals.

Desai most recently served as the associate head coach and defensive assistant for the Seattle Seahawks. Before that he spent nine seasons with the Chicago Bears, including the 2021 season as defensive coordinator.

He was a high school teammate of former NFL quarterback and current ESPN analyst Dan Orlovsky in Shelton, Connecticut.
