The Philadelphia Eagles didn’t waste time making changes after a disappointing finish to the 2025 season, parting ways with offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. But if you’re looking for a scapegoat, the message from the top of the organization is clear: this wasn’t just on one person. The offensive struggles that plagued the second half of the season were a collective issue, and both head coach Nick Sirianni and GM Howie Roseman made that point loud and clear during their end-of-season press conference.
Sirianni, reflecting on the offensive downturn, didn’t shy away from accountability - and he didn’t let anyone else off the hook either.
“There were a lot of questions on Kevin,” Sirianni said. “But like I’ve said all along, we all had a hand in our offense this year. Good, bad, you name it - every coach, every player, myself obviously at the front of that list.”
That includes Jalen Hurts, the franchise quarterback who’s been the face of the team’s resurgence over the past few seasons. But Sirianni made it a point to reaffirm his belief in Hurts - not just as a player, but as a leader who gives the Eagles a chance to win every time he steps on the field.
“I love Jalen Hurts. I love everything he brings to the table,” Sirianni said.
“Every time you step on the field with him, you feel confident you can win. He’s shown that to this organization, to myself, to Howie, and to the city - that he’s a winner.
He can do many different things at a very high level.”
Still, Sirianni acknowledged that when the offense doesn’t live up to expectations, it’s on everyone - including the quarterback.
Roseman echoed that sentiment, taking a wide-angle view of the season now that the dust has settled. He emphasized the need for the entire organization to self-evaluate, not just in terms of personnel, but in how they operate week to week.
“We’ve won a lot of games with Jalen as our quarterback,” Roseman said. “We’ve won a world championship with him as an MVP in that game. He’s done a tremendous job as our starter.”
That’s a strong endorsement, and an important one, considering the narrative that’s been floating around - that Hurts may have limited the offense due to his preferences. Sirianni pushed back hard on that idea, pointing to the quarterback’s adaptability and willingness to evolve.
“I think you saw this year that he’s open to doing a bunch,” Sirianni said. “We were under center more than we’ve ever been.
We used different motions, different looks. Jalen’s always shown that he’ll do whatever it takes to win football games.”
That’s been a hallmark of Hurts’ career since he entered the league. He’s not just a dual-threat quarterback - he’s a relentless competitor who’s constantly working to expand his game. Whether it’s slinging the ball 40 times, running the read-option, or handing off and managing the game, Hurts has shown he’s willing to do whatever the moment calls for.
“He pushes himself to do new things,” Sirianni added. “He pushes himself to excel at the things he already does well. All he cares about is winning and being able to hold that trophy up at the end of the year.”
That mindset will be front and center as the Eagles begin their search for a new offensive coordinator. Sirianni made it clear that while he’ll make the final call, Hurts will have a voice in the process. And that makes sense - when your quarterback is the cornerstone of your franchise, his input matters.
The Eagles know they have a lot to fix this offseason. But they also know they have a quarterback who’s proven he’s willing to do the work - and a front office that’s not afraid to make bold moves to get back on track.
