The Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday made a change to their coaching staff that fans have been clamoring for for months.
The Eagles announced that offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has been fired. Head coach Nick Sirianni said in a statement that the decision was “difficult,” and credited Patullo as being a key part of the team’s recent success.
“He has been integral to this team’s success over the last five years, not only to the on-field product but behind the scenes as a valued leader for our players and organization,” Sirianni said. “I have no doubt he will continue to have a successful coaching career.”

This was a move the Eagles essentially had to make. Despite an elite defense, the Eagles were eliminated in the Wild Card round largely due to a stagnant offense that held them back for much of the season. While fans had been calling for Patullo’s firing for weeks, Sirianni stuck with his offensive coordinator to the bitter end, focusing on other staff changes instead.
Patullo joined Philadelphia’s staff in 2021 as the pass game coordinator. He was promoted to offensive coordinator last season after Kellen Moore left to coach the New Orleans Saints. Despite one of the most talented offensive cores in the league, Patullo’s offense scored just 22.3 points per game, good for 19th in the entire league.
The change means quarterback Jalen Hurts will have his fourth offensive coordinator in four seasons next year. He might not be bothered by that considering he never seemed to be that enthusiastic about Patullo to begin with.
