The Facts:
It turns out the Eagles will not wait for Super Bowl XLV to be played to meet some new candidates to become their defensive coordinator. The team ended the search today, announcing that offensive line coach Juan Castillo will become the defensive coordinator.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
It’s an unusual move for a veteran line coach, but Castillo is highly regarded. Castillo will be replaced by veteran offensive line coach Howard Mudd, who worked so long for the Indianapolis Colts. The Eagles interviewed three defensive backs coaches – Dennis Allen, Jon Hoke and Joe Woods – before going with the in-house candidate who has coached the line for the last 13 seasons. Castillo played linebacker at Texas A&I and for the San Antonio Gunslingers in the USFL, and he’s coached linebackers in the past so he has worked on that side of the ball.
