The Philadelphia Eagles officially announced they are making an offensive coordinator change; Kevin Patullo will NOT serve in that role next season.
The team issued a statement by head coach Nick Sirianni explaining the reasoning behind ‘his’ decision:
“I have decided to make a change at offensive coordinator. I met with Kevin [Patullo] today to discuss the difficult decision, as he is a great coach who has my utmost respect. 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. I have no doubt he will continue to have a successful coaching career.”
“Ultimately, when we fall short of our goals that responsibility lies on my shoulders.“
Though Sirianni’s statement alludes to Patullo potentially being gone, it’s not yet clear if Patullo will remain on staff.
NFL insider Mike Garafolo notes that the Eagles might retain him:
As does the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane:
As does NFL insider Adam Schefter:
Retaining Patullo could create an awkward dynamic inside the building for him and the new offensive coordinator. A clean break seems best for everyone involved.
In any case, the Eagles are either firing or demoting Sirianni’s right-hand man that he originally brought with him to Philly five years ago. Patullo served under the “pass game coordinator” title in 2021-2022 before being bumped up to “pass game coordinator and associate head coach” from 2023-2024 prior to his offensive coordinator promotion in 2025. Sirianni and Patullo previously overlapped together on the Indianapolis Colts from 2018-2020.
The Eagles will now conduct interviews and start the process of finding Patullo’s replacement — their fifth offensive coordinator in as many years — for the vacant position. After previous instances of unsuccessfully hiring from within the organization, the team’s efforts will likely be focused on hiring an external candidate with considerably more play-calling experience this time around.
