The Philadelphia Eagles are in the middle of a major coaching overhaul, and one name still hanging in the balance is Kevin Patullo.
Patullo, who was removed from his role as offensive coordinator on January 13, hasn’t officially been let go. He’s still with the team - at least for now. But with the Eagles reshaping their offensive staff in a big way, his future in Philly is very much up in the air.
Head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t shut the door on Patullo sticking around in a different capacity. When asked about it during his end-of-season press conference, Sirianni kept things open-ended: “We’ll see how it plays out,” he said. “I know Kevin’s going to have other opportunities, and obviously always want what’s best for Kevin and for his family.”
That’s a diplomatic answer, but it also reflects the reality: the Eagles’ offense underperformed in 2025, and the team is making sweeping changes in response.
Let’s break down what’s happened.
Sean Mannion In, Patullo Out (as Play-Caller)
The most notable move?
Sean Mannion, a former NFL quarterback and rising coaching mind, has been brought in to take over as the new offensive coordinator and play-caller. That’s a clear signal from Sirianni and the front office: they want a fresh voice guiding this offense.
Alongside Mannion, the Eagles are bringing in several new assistants to reshape the offensive identity. Josh Grizzard steps in as pass game coordinator, Ryan Mahaffey takes over as tight ends coach and run game coordinator, and Chris Kuper is the new offensive line coach.
Those hires come with some heavy turnover. Legendary offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland, a fixture in Philly and one of the most respected O-line minds in football, is no longer with the team. Tight ends coach Jason Michael is also out.
What’s Staying, What’s Still in Flux
Not everything is changing.
Running backs coach Jemal Singleton and wide receivers coach Aaron Moorehead are sticking around. But the quarterback room remains unsettled - quarterbacks coach Scot Loeffler’s status is still undecided.
So where does that leave Patullo?
That’s the big question. He’s been part of Sirianni’s inner circle for years.
The two worked together in Indianapolis, where Patullo coached wide receivers while Sirianni was the offensive coordinator. When Sirianni got the Eagles’ head coaching job in 2021, Patullo followed him to Philly and served as pass game coordinator through the team’s Super Bowl LIX run.
In 2025, Patullo took over play-calling duties for the first time. But the results didn’t meet expectations.
The offense, loaded with talent, struggled to find rhythm and consistency. It wasn’t just a schematic issue - it was execution, timing, and at times, identity.
The Eagles never quite looked like the same juggernaut that marched to the Super Bowl the year before.
Then came the Wild Card round - a home playoff loss to the 49ers that felt like a gut punch. It was the kind of defeat that forces tough conversations. And clearly, the Eagles are having them.
Looking Ahead
Patullo’s close relationship with Sirianni could keep him in the building in a different role. But with so many new voices entering the room, and with Sirianni under pressure to get this offense back on track, it’s unclear if there’s still a seat at the table for him.
One thing is certain: the Eagles aren’t standing pat. They’re retooling with purpose, and the coaching staff is being built to spark a turnaround. Whether Kevin Patullo is part of that next chapter remains to be seen.
