In keeping with a trend that has developed in recent years, another Philadelphia Eagles season is ending with the departure of the team’s offensive coordinator.
Kevin Patullo, who had been under fire for much of the season, will not return for his second year as play-caller in Philadelphia. On Tuesday, head coach Nick Sirianni said he met with Patullo to discuss “the difficult decision” to part ways.
“I have decided to make a change in the offensive coordinator. I met with Kevin [Patullo] Today to discuss this difficult decision, as a great coach for whom I have all the respect.

“He has been an integral part of this team’s success over the past five years, not only on the field but also behind the scenes as a valued leader for our players and our organization. I have no doubt that he will continue to have a successful coaching career.”
Despite an NFL-leading investment in offense, the unit under Kevin Patullo struggled with inconsistency and failed to live up to expectations, a trend that became evident in the second half of Sunday’s wild-card loss to the 49ers.
Philadelphia failed to score in the second half and came up empty on a fourth-down attempt late in the fourth quarter. The 49ers held on to win 23-19, ending the Eagles’ bid to repeat as Super Bowl champions. San Francisco advanced to face the top-seeded Seattle Seahawks in the divisional round.

The Eagles finished 21st in offensive points per game and 24th in yards per game with Patullo calling the play. On a positive note, Patullo’s offensive scheme excelled in the red zone, with Philadelphia leading the NFL in efficiency in that area.

Saquon Barkley, last year’s NFL Offensive Player of the Year, didn’t believe Patullo should have been solely responsible for the team’s offensive woes.
“I think you have to point the finger at one person, that’s what they have to do in their job,” Barkley told reporters after the Eagles were eliminated from the postseason. “Someone has to take the blame, especially when we had the season we had the year before. Do I think that’s fair? No, I don’t think that’s fair at all.”

Patullo joined the Eagles in 2021 as the passing game coordinator. Nick Sirianni was named the team’s head coach that same year and previously worked with Patullo in Indianapolis when both were with the Colts.
Patullo was promoted to offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore left to take the head coaching position of the New Orleans Saints.
