The Eagles hired Desai last offseason after losing Jonathan Gannon to a head coaching gig with Arizona. While fans were happy to welcome a fresh face to the defensive side of the ball at the time, Desai’s tenure in Philadelphia was marred by inconsistent play on the field and a disconnect with his players off it.

He was demoted from his DC role in Week 15 and fired as soon as the season ended. Philadelphia hired Vic Fangio to fill their vacant defensive coordinator job just a few weeks after Desai’s departure.
