Eagles Ditch Patullo, Shift Focus Amid Offense Struggles
In a move that was all but expected, the Philadelphia Eagles announced Tuesday they're parting ways with their beleaguered offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo. The news comes as no surprise to those who have closely followed the team's struggles on offense this season.
According to head coach Nick Sirianni, the decision was not made lightly and reflects a collective recognition that something needs to change. "I met with Kevin today to discuss the difficult decision," Sirianni said in a statement. "He is a great coach who has my utmost respect. He has been integral to this team's success over the last five years... I have no doubt he will continue to have a successful coaching career."
While Patullo's ousting may seem like a fait accompli, it was preceded by an earlier investigation into whether changes needed to be made at the top of the Eagles' offense. Sources had already indicated that the team's brass began searching for a new OC before the news broke.
Patullo took over as pass game coordinator in 2021 and remained in that role until 2024, when he was promoted to OC following Kellen Moore's departure to become head coach at New Orleans Saints.
The move has sparked renewed speculation about who might take Patullo's place. The Eagles' coaching search is set to be closely watched, with several candidates already being considered for the position.

Like, have you seen the way they're talking about Patullo? "Belieaguered offensive coordinator"? That's some fancy language to describe someone who's just doing their job. And what's with all these "sources" and "investigations"? It sounds like a setup for a power play... I'm not buying it. 
Maybe the real question is, why are they making such a big deal about changing OCs? Is it because they're not happy with Patullo's performance... or something else entirely? 
anyway gotta say tho nicks gotta do better w/ his QB situation or else they'll never get far 
hope whoever takes over does a better job than patullo 
i mean who else but change coaches to fix the offense struggles right?? i feel so bad 4 kevin patullo tho he seemed like a great coach and i loved watching him on tv 
i'm low-key hoping they bring in some fresh blood and maybe someone new can help the eagles score more points lol 
, but we all know the real reason is that they're struggling on offense this season. gotta wonder what changes will be made in the coaching search 
what i do think is that nick sirianni is being pretty diplomatic about the whole thing, saying he respects patullo as a coach which is nice... 
gotta keep an eye on who they bring in next tho... 
... nick sirianni seems like a cool coach tho, he's got my respect 
. It's gonna be interesting to see who gets the new OC spot, hopefully it'll be someone who can turn things around for the team 
. Maybe they should've done this back in '24 when Moore left, would've saved them from all this mess 
.
, he's been a big part of the team's success and got a lot of respect from the coach 
. I'm curious to see who the Eagles will choose next, but for now, it's hard not to feel a bit sorry for Patullo 
The thing that's got me curious now is who's gonna come in and shake things up? 
. but on one hand, i feel bad for kevin patullo, he's a good coach and all, been with the team for 5 years and has my respect 
. Still curious who's gonna step in and turn things around for this team... maybe someone with a few more tricks up their sleeve? 
. now we'll just have to wait and see who they pick next 
. fingers crossed, at least 
5 yrs under sirianni and they're still struggling 
don't get me wrong patullo is a great coach but sometimes you gotta make tough decisions to bring in fresh blood 
. But seriously, it's not a shock that Patullo is out, I mean, have you seen their offense lately? It's been all over the place! 
Maybe a new OC will bring some fresh blood and turn things around? The Eagles' coaching search is like trying to find the perfect meme - it's gonna be a wild ride! 
? Give me a break! I remember when Donovan McNabb used to throw touchdowns like nobody's business 
. Now, the offense is stuck in neutral... Guess you could say we're back to square one 
. But, I'm all ears for who's gonna step up and lead this team to victory
