2011 Philadelphia Eagles season

79th season in franchise history; derisively called "Dream Team" December 2013 March 2026 2011 Philadelphia Eagles Andy Reid Howie Roseman Jeffrey Lurie Lincoln Financial Field 8–8 2nd NFC East Did not qualify RB LeSean McCoyT Jason PetersDE Jason Babin Eagles seasons The 2011 season was the Philadelphia Eagles' 79th in the National Football League (NFL) and their 13th under head coach Andy Reid. The Eagles had high hopes of competing for a Super Bowl after key offseason acquisitions, with backup quarterback Vince Young calling the roster a "dream team" – but they failed to improve on their 10–6 record from 2010 and missed the playoffs for the first time since 2007. However, they did win their last four games, in an attempt to pull out a miracle playoff berth, finishing 8–8, only one game behind the divisional winners and eventual Super Bowl champions, the New York Giants. They also swept the Dallas Cowboys and Washington Redskins for the first time since 2006 and 2009, respectively. The Eagles played all their home games at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Until 2024, this would be the last season that the Eagles swept the Dallas Cowboys. 3 Offseason Personnel changes On January 15, defensive coordinator Sean McDermott was fired.McLane, Jeff McDermott Fired https://www.newspapers.com/clip/97821066/the-philadelphia-inquirer/ The Philadelphia Inquirer Newspapers.com January 16, 2011 March 17, 2022 Defensive line coach Rory Segrest was fired on January 16.Eagles' defensive line coach out, too http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/dneagles/Eagles_defensive_line_coach_out_too.html philly.com January 16, 2011 January 16, 2011 Former Tennessee Titans' defensive line coach Jim Washburn was hired to the same position by the Eagles' on January 19.McLane, Jeff Eagles hire Washburn http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Eagles_hire_Washburn.html philly.com January 19, 2011 January 19, 2011 Special teams quality control coach Jeff Nixon was hired by the Miami Dolphins as their running backs coach on January 20.McLane, Jeff Eagles reportedly plan to talk to Saints' Allen about defensive coordinator job http://articles.philly.com/2011-01-21/sports/27041058_1_desean-jackson-eagles-david-akers https://web.archive.org/web/20110128221108/http://articles.philly.com/2011-01-21/sports/27041058_1_desean-jackson-eagles-david-akers dead January 28, 2011 philly.com January 20, 2011 January 20, 2011 Defensive backs coach and senior assistant Dick Jauron was hired by the Cleveland Browns as their new defensive coordinator on January 21.Withers, Tom Browns name Dick Jauron defensive coordinator http://www.philly.com/philly/wires/ap/news/state/pennsylvania/20110121_ap_brownsnamedickjaurondefensivecoordinator.html philly.com January 21, 2011 January 21, 2011 On January 25, linebackers coach Bill Shuey, who served on the Eagles' coaching staff for the past ten seasons, was let go after his contract was not renewed.McLane, Jeff Eagles let LB coach Shuey go http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/inq-eagles/Eagles_let_LB_coach_Shuey_go.html philly.com January 25, 2011 January 25, 2011 On February 2, Juan Castillo, who served as the team's offensive line coach since 1998, was named the new defensive coordinator.
