"I met with Kevin today to discuss the difficult decision, as he is a great coach who has my utmost respect. He has been integral to this team's success over the last five years, not only to the on-field product but behind the scenes as a valued leader for our players and organization. I have no doubt he will continue to have a successful coaching career."
"The defending champion Eagles endured a sharp decline in offensive production. Scoring dropped from 27.2 (ranked 7th) to 22.3 (19th) points per game this season, offensive efficiency dipped from fourth best in the league to 19th, and the rushing attack plummeted from averaging 179 yards per game (2nd) to 116.9 (18th). Philadelphia has the most expensive offense in football featuring the likes of Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Jalen Hurts but the operation lacked efficiency for much of the year, including in Sunday's 23-19 playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers."
Kevin Patullo was fired as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator. Coach Nick Sirianni said he decided to make a change and praised Patullo as a great coach and valued leader while accepting responsibility for falling short of goals. Patullo, 44, had been promoted this offseason from pass game coordinator and associate head coach to replace Kellen Moore. The Eagles' offense declined sharply: scoring dropped from 27.2 (7th) to 22.3 (19th) points per game, offensive efficiency fell from fourth to 19th, and rushing average fell from 179 yards (2nd) to 116.9 (18th). Injuries on the offensive line and execution issues hurt the unit, including in the 23-19 playoff loss to the 49ers.
