The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Tuesday that they have terminated Kevin Patullo from his position as offensive coordinator, concluding a tumultuous one-season tenure. This decision, confirmed by head coach Nick Sirianni, comes after a season characterized by offensive inconsistency, which left fans and players alike frustrated.
Under Patullo”s direction, the Eagles” offense, previously known for its explosive capabilities, struggled to find its rhythm. The team averaged 22.3 points per game this season, placing them 19th in the league, a significant decline from their 2024 season average of 27.2 points. The total offensive yardage also saw a sharp decrease, dropping from 367.2 yards per game to 311.2 yards.
One of the most alarming trends was the decline in the run game. In 2024, the Eagles boasted one of the league”s top rushing attacks, averaging 179.3 yards per game. However, in 2025, this number fell dramatically to 116.9 yards per game. The visible regression across all facets of the offense has prompted former Eagles running back LeSean McCoy to advocate for the hiring of a new offensive coordinator who can rejuvenate the unit ahead of the 2026 season.
As the Eagles prepare for potential changes, speculation regarding Patullo”s replacement is intensifying. Among the candidates is Mike McDaniel, the former head coach of the Miami Dolphins, who was recently let go from his position. McDaniel, recognized for his offensive acumen, completed his tenure with a 35-33 record. Before his time in Miami, he earned acclaim as an offensive strategist while with the San Francisco 49ers, serving as both run game coordinator and offensive coordinator under Kyle Shanahan.
With the Eagles” offense lacking creativity and predictability this past season, bringing in a coach with McDaniel”s background could represent a significant turning point for the franchise. While Miami”s offense had its share of challenges, the talent present in Philadelphia”s roster could provide McDaniel with the tools necessary to restore offensive dominance.
The upcoming weeks will likely clarify whether McDaniel is in the running for the Eagles” offensive coordinator role or if he opts for another head coaching opportunity elsewhere. Fans are eager to see what direction the Eagles will take in revitalizing their offense.
