Eagles Make A Change At OC After Disappointing Season

After a disappointing wildcard loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the Philadelphia Eagles have decided to make a change at offensive coordinator, moving on from Kevin Patullo after one year.

However, according to NFL Network reporter Mike Garafolo, the Eagles did not fire Patullo, as there is still a chance he remains on Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff.

The Eagles hoped for a repeat of last season, but a lackluster offensive output this year led players to openly call for change.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts avoided all questions regarding Patullo and his future with the organization. When Hurts was asked if he wanted Patullo back, he stated, “It’s too soon to think about that,” at his Monday press conference while cleaning out his locker.

The Eagles’ offense struggled to find an identity, struggling in both the pass and run games compared to last season with Kellen Moore, who went on to take the head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints.

Hurts will be going into his seventh season with his seventh different offensive coordinator, which can make it difficult to find an identity.

Hurts had two games this season in which he failed to complete a pass in the second half. Hurts also saw a massive drop-off in rushing attempts, going from 150 carries in 2024 to 105 in 2025.

A.J. Brown was also a major talking point throughout the year as his production dipped with Patullo as the playcaller. Brown got into a verbal altercation with Sirianni during Sunday’s game, which led to Brown not speaking to the media after the game and on Monday. Brown publicly voiced his frustration throughout the season, questioning his role in the offense.

The Eagles will look to bounce back next season with a new play caller, but uncertainty remains about Brown’s future with the Eagles.
