Philadelphia, Pa. — Former Lawrence Co. and Western Ky. University star athlete Jason Micheal ( 42 ) has landed with the Philadelphia Eagles as their new Tight Ends coach.
New Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni will be bringing another offensive assistant with him from the Colts
Tom Pelissero of NFL Media reports that Jason Michael will be the tight ends coach in Philadelphia. Michael did the same job for the Colts the last two seasons.
Michael joins passing game coordinator Kevin Patullo as offensive assistants that were in Indy. Defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon also made the switch.
Michael also worked with Sirianni on the Chargers staff in 2013 and he had a two-year run as the offensive coordinator of the Titans. He’s also worked for the Cardinals, 49ers, Jets, and Raiders over the course of his coaching career.
He is a legendary figure in Lawrence County and the state of Kentucky having quarterbacked LC to it’s first regional championship and WKU to the Class 2A national championship. He has been an NFL coach after serving stints as a college assistant coach.
Alright! I think the Eagles are gonna do well with Jalen Hurts as QB. I’m excited for them.
I’ve been an Eagles fan since 1982 and its exciting to see a hometown boy on the staff. Congrats!!
Good luck to Jason and the eagles. Always good to hear of a local doing well.
