Alec Hollaby, the 39-year-old assistant general manager for the Philadelphia Eagles, is stepping down after 17 years with the team. He started as an intern back in 2007 and climbed the ranks, becoming assistant GM in 2022. This Harvard grad helped build one of the NFL's top analytics teams during that time. Here this week, his exit followed a string of departures from the Eagles front office. Senior Vice President Bryce Johnston just joined the Falcons as their senior vice president of football administration and earlier this month, vice. President Jeff Scott became Atlanta's assistant GM. Hollaby himself interviewed for general manager spots, with teams like the dolphins, panthers, jets and commanders over the past couple of seasons. Hollaby called the Eagles the first-class organization, shouting out owner Jeffrey Lurie for his leadership and GM Howie Roseman for mentoring him from.

Those two Super Bowl wins happened on Hollaby's watch, making his run feel like a championship chapter. His trailblazing work and analytics started with cold emails to all 32 teams. Hollaby Roseman replied, just like Roseman did years before. Hollaby expanded into alpha ball ops but stayed at assistant level in a league that still leans towards scouting backgrounds for top gigs. With just one GM opening right now at the Vikings, Hilaby's next chapter stays wide open. Eagles fans might miss his smarts, but wherever he lands, expect him to shake things up like he did in Philly.
