The Philadelphia Eagles promoted Kevin Patullo to their offensive coordinator position Wednesday, replacing Kellen Moore. Patullo has been Philadelphia’s passing game coordinator since 2021 and has also served as associate head coach since 2023.
Coming off a Super Bowl victory, the Eagles are dealing with routine staff turnover heading into the 2025 season. Moore, a 36-year-old upstart, took the next natural step and accepted a head coaching job with the New Orleans Saints earlier this month. Philadelphia chose to hire internally to replace him, a clear sign of confidence in the current system. Head coach Nick Sirianni and defensive coordinator Vic Fangio will remain with the team.
Patullo is taking over the Eagles offense with two decades of coaching experience. After short stints as a graduate assistant, he accepted his first NFL job with the Chiefs in 2007 and has been employed in the NFL nearly every season since. Over time, he gained a reputation as a passing game specialist and worked with quarterbacks and wide receivers for the Titans, Jets and Colts before heading to Philadelphia.
The Eagles’ Super Bowl victory was the first major success in Patullo’s career, and many might argue that the passing game was the least potent facet of the Eagles’ game this year. Running back Saquon Barkley and Fangio’s defense played massive roles, with the latter force making the difference against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the final game.

On the other hand, Patullo’s past contributions only matter so much, as he is inheriting one of the league’s best offenses. Quarterback Jalen Hurts has an embarrassment of options in the passing game, led by wide receivers A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith. Barkley is coming off a 2,000-yard rushing season. Patullo’s advantage is familiarity, as he has already worked with all of these players and should be able to pick up where Moore left off.
