The Philadelphia Eagles are hitting the reset button on a key piece of their coaching staff-and not a moment too soon.
After a frustrating 2025 campaign that saw the offense sputter under Kevin Patullo, the Eagles have officially moved on from their offensive coordinator and are now deep into the search for a new leader on that side of the ball. The decision to promote Patullo last year ultimately backfired, and while head coach Nick Sirianni took on a larger role in the offense to try and right the ship, the results never came. The Eagles finished in the bottom half of the league in virtually every major offensive category-an unacceptable outcome for a team with this much talent on the roster.
Now, the organization is treating this hire with the urgency it deserves.
At the team’s end-of-year press conference, Sirianni was asked whether he plans to be as involved in the offense in 2026 as he was this past season. His answer? Noncommittal.
“We’re not there yet as far as that goes,” he said.
That’s hardly a surprise. Sirianni’s increased role in the offense last year wasn’t part of the original plan-it was a reaction to the unit’s struggles under Patullo.
But even with Sirianni stepping in, the offense never found its rhythm. Whether it was inconsistent play-calling, a lack of identity, or just poor execution, the Eagles couldn’t get out of their own way offensively.
Now, general manager Howie Roseman is leading the charge to find the next offensive coordinator, with owner Jeffrey Lurie also involved in the process. And make no mistake-this hire carries weight.
The Eagles aren’t just looking for a play-caller. They’re looking for someone who can elevate this offense and maximize the talent already in place.
There’s no shortage of names being floated. Big ones, too.
Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll have been mentioned as potential targets, though it remains to be seen how realistic those options are. One name picking up momentum is LSU offensive coordinator Charlie Weis Jr., who’s expected to interview next week.
He’s young, innovative, and has experience designing high-powered offenses at the college level-a profile that certainly fits what the Eagles may be looking for.
The only confirmed interview so far has been with Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson, a rising mind in the league with ties to the Sean McVay coaching tree. Robinson’s background in quarterback development and modern passing concepts makes him a compelling candidate, especially for a team that needs to get more out of its aerial attack.
The Eagles are reportedly open to a range of possibilities. They’re not necessarily looking for a long-term fixture-defensive coordinator Vic Fangio, for example, was brought in with a short-term mindset. But whoever takes over this offense needs to be able to make an immediate impact.
The clock is ticking in Philadelphia. After a disappointing end to the 2025 season, the pressure is on.
This hire could be the difference between a bounce-back year and another season of missed opportunities. The Eagles are treating it that way-and they should.
Get it right, and this team could be right back in the mix in 2026. Get it wrong, and things could unravel quickly.
