The Philadelphia Eagles went 11-6 in 2025 and earned the No. 1 seed. 3 in the NFC … and it was a disappointment. Following a tumultuous season \u2014 in which the team was trying to repeat as Super Bowl champions \u2014 the Eagles made a quick move, replacing offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo.<\/p>\n
It was a move Eagles fans have been crying out for all season. On Thursday, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni addressed the decision. And while Sirianni did not elaborate on Patullo’s removal, the head coach emphasized that the offense needs to “continue to evolve” under the team’s next coordinator.<\/p>\n
Despite returning nearly the same personnel from last season, the Eagles’ offense appeared to be stuck in the mud in its first season under Patullo, who was promoted to the position after Kellen Moore was hired by the New Orleans Saints to become their head coach. Star wideout AJ Brown appeared to be frustrated with his lack of use, while running back Saquon Barkley set him up for a mediocre season \u2014 after rushing for more than 2,000 yards in 2024.<\/p>\n

But it wasn’t just the vibes that were bad. The Eagles lost hard. After ranking seventh in points per game last season, Philadelphia dropped to 19th in that category in 2025.<\/p>\n

Patullo is still active and may take on another coaching role with the Eagles next season. Sirianni said he will “see how it plays out” with Patullo, Sirianni said he should have other opportunities this season.<\/p>\n
Throughout the season, Patullo was criticized for predictable play calling and isolation. NFL analyst – and former player – Brian Baldinger announced that early, sharing a video on Instagram showing the Eagles running what appears to be the same play without the same formation multiple times in one game.<\/p>\n\nReddit fans noticed the same thing earlier in the season, when they pointed out that the Eagles had too much separation in the run and pass plays based on their formation outside of the huddle. That can give you an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat kind of game is coming, making it easier to give up.<\/p>\n

Additionally, quarterback Jalen Hurts was not used much as a runner under Patullo. The quarterback finished the year with 421 rushing yards, his lowest total since his rookie season, because the team actually stopped calling runs designed for him.<\/p>\n
For all those reasons, Patullo will not play his role again next season. While expectations will be high for the next person to take over as Eagles coordinator, the team still has a lot of potential on offense, and there are at least a few adjustments the coordinator can make to get the offense going again.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
