Eagles fire OC Patullo after 1 season

The Philadelphia Eagles fired offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, the team announced Tuesday.

Patullo, 44, spent one season in the role after being promoted when his predecessor, Kellen Moore, took the New Orleans Saints head coaching job.

"(Patullo) 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," head coach Nick Sirianni said in a statement.

"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."

The move comes two days after the Eagles lost 23-19 to the San Francisco 49ers in the wild-card round. Philly's offense gained just 23 yards on its first four drives of the second half, allowing San Francisco to take control. The Eagles drove down into 49ers territory with under a minute remaining but were stopped on fourth-and-11.

Philadelphia's offense took a significant step back in 2025. After ranking fifth in points per game during its Super Bowl-winning season, Patullo's unit finished 24th in yards per contest and 23rd in success rate, according to Ben Baldwin's database. The Eagles also struggled to maintain drives and had an abundance of negative plays, ranking first in the NFL in three-and-out rate.

One of the main problems with Philly's offense was its predictability. Patullo, after serving as the Eagles' pass game coordinator for four seasons, ran an offense this past campaign that posted the highest hitch-route rate (23.5%) since at least 2012, when route-frequency tracking began, according to TruMedia.

The Eagles' rushing attack also wasn't nearly as productive. Saquon Barkley, who led the league with 2,009 rushing yards in 2024, finished with 1,140 yards in 2025, averaging 4.1 yards per carry.

Philadelphia's issues piled up despite boasting the NFL's most expensive offense, according to Spotrac. Players such as Barkley, Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Lane Johnson, and Cam Jurgens are all signed to long-term deals and under contract for next season.

With Patullo's firing, Philadelphia will now hire its fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons.
