It just didn't work as it did before last year, running well below the success rate of prior seasons.So, with a new offensive coordinator, there have been some questions about whether the play would return or not. Well, according to Tim McManus of ESPN, the Eagles' new OC revealed his plans: the Tush Push isn't going anywhere.Eagles new OC reveals Tush Push is here to stay"Eagles OC Sean Mannion said the Tush Push will be part of the offense," McManus reports. "Not going away in the new system."While it might not have been a major surprise if the Eagles tried to change up the playcall after a down season with it in 2025, Mannion has confirmed the plan is to continue using it in 2026.The tush push was a major asset during the 2024 Super Bowl run, and if the offensive line can stay healthy for 2026, then maybe it could get back to its elite form after a down 2025 season.MORE:Eagles' Jalen Hurts 'shouldn't have trouble' reaching Hall of Fame if he can continue to have playoff successMannion is installing a lot of new looks for the Eagles offense, utilizing more under-center snaps for Hurts and the offense, alongside a lot more motion and other more modern play-calling and scheme strategies.With AJ Brown gone, and Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks coming in, the Eagles' passing game is going to look a lot different.Now that Jeff Stoutland is gone as well, the offensive line, and in turn, the running game, should be a bit different than it has been as well.But Mannion has essentially confirmed that one thing is staying the same: the Tush Push. It's not going anywhere, as the Eagles are planning to continue using the play that was once a superpower, in hopes it can return to form in 2026 for this new-look offense.More NFL news:Ben Johnson responds to Liam Coens pointed Caleb Williams commentLamar Jackson is already predicted to be a Hall of Fame QB for Ravens per ESPNCowboys QB Dak Prescott projected by ESPN to be behind Lions QB Jared Goff for HOF chancePackers edge Micah Parsons already predicted to be on cusp of Hall of FameWhy Sheduer Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson QB competition is taking so long for Browns
