Undlin came under fire from Eagles fans in recent years, as the team's cornerbacks have under-performed at times. The thinking here is that the Eagles' struggles in that department were as a result of talent deficiencies, not coaching.
Undlin was hired by the Eagles in 2015 during the Chip Kelly regime, and he was one of just a few assistants that the Eagles kept aboard when the team moved on from Kelly, and hired Doug Pederson.
Obviously, the Eagles will need a new defensive backs coach.
