In keeping with a trend that has developed over the past few years, another Philadelphia Eagles season ends with the team’s offensive coordinator leaving.
Kevin Patullo, who was criticized for much of the season, will not return for a second year as Philadelphia’s in-game advisor. On Tuesday, head coach Nick Sirianni said he met with Patullo to discuss “the difficult decision” to part ways.
“I decided to change offensive coordinator. I met with Kevin [Patullo] today to discuss this difficult decision, as a great coach who has all my respect.

“He has played a vital role in the success of this team over the past five years, not only on the field, but also behind the scenes as a valued leader to our players and our organization. I am confident he will continue a successful coaching career.”
Despite a top investment in the NFL’s offense, the Kevin Patullo-led unit struggled with inconsistency and failed to live up to expectations, a trend that grew in the second half of Sunday’s loss to the 49ers.
Philadelphia failed to score in the second half and came up empty on fourth down late in the fourth quarter. The 49ers held on for a 23-19 victory, ending the Eagles’ attempt 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 as the play-caller. On a positive note, Patullo’s offensive scheme has 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 struggles.
“I think you have to point the finger at one person, that’s what you have to do in your job,” Barkley told reporters after the Eagles were eliminated from the playoffs. “Someone has to be blamed, especially when we had the season we had the year before. Do I think it’s fair? No, I don’t think it’s fair at all.”

Patullo joined the Eagles in 2021 as 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 job with the New Orleans Saints.
