The Eagles' director of personnel operations, Joe Pannunzio, is leaving Philadelphia and heading back to the University of Alabama, according to a report. 

Pannunzio is taking a job as Alabama's tight ends and special teams coach, according to the Alabama Media Group. 

Pannunzio joined the Eagles in 2015 and has been in his position since. Before coming to Philadelphia, he was Alabama's director of football operations from 2011-14 but has plenty of coaching in his background. 

From 2006-10, he was Miami's tight ends and special teams coordinator. From 2000-05, he was the head coach at Murray State. His college coaching career dates back to 1981 and includes several stops along the way. 

As of early Thursday afternoon, Pannunzio was still listed on the Eagles' website. The team did not immediately respond to an inquiry from CSNPhilly.com.
