Kevin Patullo will not be returning to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2026.
Nick Sirianni originally announced that he was making an OC change back on January 13, two days after the Eagles’ playoff loss to the San Francisco 49ers. At the time, it was reported that Patullo might stay on staff in a different role.
But while Patullo was not technically fired, he effectively was. It never seemed like a great idea to bring him back in a lesser role, for either his sake or the Eagles’ sake. That would’ve been an awkward dynamic.
The Eagles hired former Green Bay Packers quarterbacks coach Sean Mannion to be their new play-calling offensive coordinator. The team also hired former Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Josh Grizzard to be their new pass game coordinator, which is the role Patullo held in Philly before being promoted to OC after the 2024 season.
Sirianni is obviously very tight with Patullo, so, this is a big loss for the Eagles’ head coach. But his buddy ultimately landed a new job not too far away from where he attended high school and college in Florida.
The Eagles do not play the Dolphins in 2026. In the regular season, at least.
