Bill Lazor is leaving his job as Virginia's offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach to join Chip Kelly's staff with the Philadelphia Eagles, a source told CBS Tuesday morning.

The 40-year-old Scranton, PA native has extensive NFL coaching experience having been the QB coach for the Seattle Seahawks and Washington taterskins, prior to coming to UVA in 2010. He also worked as an assistant for the Atlanta Falcons. During his seven seasons in the NFL, Lazor coached under Jim Mora, Mike Holmgren, Joe Gibbs and Dan Reeves.

Lazor, a former Cornell quarterback, spent three seasons at UVA, where he inherited a team that had finished last in the ACC in total offense the year before he arrived. In his first season with the Cavaliers, Virginia improved to third in offense in the conference. The team also improved from No. 105 in passing to No. 25. In 2011, they were fourth in the ACC in total offense and No. 56 in the country in passing. Last season, 4-8 UVA fell to eighth in the league in offense and No. 37 in passing while juggling quarterbacks between Mike Rocco and Alabama transfer Phillip Sims.

Any word on what his role will be?  QB coach?  Def does't seem like a guy I'd want calling plays.

looks like he will be qb coach and direct assistant to shurmer...sounds like almost a co offensive coordinator...but he wont be calling plays...of course all of this is pure speculation because farging no one on the eagles will confirm anything with any of these assistants....so farging annoying

[SunMo]

yeah for some reason they want to announce the entire staff at once, so while no one is officially a part of the staff they were all at the senior bowl in eagles stuff

dumb

rob ryan was not hired by rams after all which means he should be heavily looked at for this 3-4 d.

[ice grillin you]

or not looked at at all

[reese125]

ill take legit def play calling experience over this mickey mouse shtein thats going on with all these college coaches, LB coaches, d-line coaches, etc.

no reason to go into the season with a rookie head coach and a rookie def coordinator...matter of fact it would be a disaster

[ice grillin you]

i agree the staff is a joke but clearly what they are doing is getting small time coaches who have no cache pull no weight and will follow chippy in lock step while posing no threat to his leadership...id be shocked if they considered rob ryan who is a loud ego filled douche...they want a tight ship after the debacle of the last couple of years...and that was with a respected veteran head coach

now they have a guy whose never spent a minute in the nfl?...rob ryan seems to be the antithesis of what they have done so far

[Rome]

antithesis

Caplan thinks the Eagles are waiting for the college signing period to end before they announce either Grantham or Smart
