Kevin Patullo out as Eagles’ offensive coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles are moving on from Kevin Patullo at offensive coordinator after the defending Super Bowl champions fell out of the playoffs in the wild-card round.

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni said in a statement Tuesday afternoon that he "decided to make a change" -- meaning he'll be searching for his sixth play-caller in as many seasons.

The statement did not specify whether Patullo was outright fired from the organization. Patullo has worked on Sirianni's offensive coaching staff in multiple roles since 2021, and he could be retained in a different role.

"I met with Kevin today to discuss the difficult decision, as he is a great coach who has my utmost respect," Sirianni said in a statement. "He 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. 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 Eagles finished 24th in the NFL in total offense (311.2 yards per game), 23rd in passing offense (194.3 per game) and 19th in scoring offense (22.3 ppg), a low point in Sirianni's five-year tenure.

They were held to 19 points and 307 total yards in a home loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday in the wild-card round, intensifying fans' focus on Patullo's job.

Patullo, 44, was the Eagles' pass game coordinator in 2021-24 and was given the title of associate head coach for 2023-24.

He was promoted to offensive coordinator after Kellen Moore's lone season as Philadelphia's offensive coordinator resulted in a Super Bowl LIX title and a new gig as head coach of the New Orleans Saints.
