"I have decided to make a change at offensive coordinator. 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."
"You know things have gone bad for an offensive coordinator when knowledge of his poor job performance has escaped the usual confines of the most dedicated parts of the fanbase. Any conversation with a Philadelphia resident in the past four months was likely to feature Patullo's name being derisively spit out, and with good reason. The Eagles' season ended Sunday in a 23-19 wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers, the perfect capper to one of the most lifeless 11-6 campaigns ever produced."
Kevin Patullo has been removed as the Philadelphia Eagles' offensive coordinator and may remain on the coaching staff. The organization credited Patullo with five years of integral contributions to on-field performance and leadership behind the scenes, and expressed confidence in his future coaching career. The Eagles finished 11-6 but produced a lifeless offense that culminated in a 23-19 wild-card loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Offensive metrics included 17th in offensive DVOA, 19th in points per game, and 23rd in yards per game. Jalen Hurts threw for 168 yards in the playoff loss and registered just one 300-yard regular-season game.
