Despite growing criticism around the Philadelphia Eagles’ offense, there are strong indications that the organization is prepared to keep offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo in place for at least one more season. According to multiple league insiders, the decision is not being driven by short-term frustration, but by a broader organizational philosophy led by owner Jeffrey Lurie and head coach Nick Sirianni.

While the Eagles’ offense has struggled with inconsistency throughout the regular season, finishing just 24th in yards per game, team leadership believes the raw numbers fail to capture the full context. Injuries along the offensive line, constant shuffling at key positions, and stretches without Dallas Goedert and Lane Johnson severely limited the unit’s continuity. Internally, the belief is that Patullo never had the chance to operate with a fully stable group for an extended period.

Another major factor working in Patullo’s favor is continuity. Since Sirianni took over as head coach, the Eagles have cycled through four offensive coordinators in five seasons. Shane Steichen was the only OC to remain longer than one year, and his departure following the Super Bowl run forced the offense into another reset. Ownership is increasingly wary of repeating that cycle, especially heading into a postseason window where stability is viewed as critical.
There is also strong trust between Patullo and Sirianni. League sources have repeatedly noted that Patullo holds significant influence inside the building, not only as the offensive coordinator but as a long-time confidant of the head coach. That relationship carries weight with Lurie, who has historically prioritized alignment between his head coach and coordinators rather than reactionary changes based on fan pressure.
From a player-development standpoint, the Eagles believe Patullo has shown progress, particularly in the evolving usage of A.J. Brown late in the season and the continued growth of younger offensive contributors. While execution has not always followed, the front office reportedly views the underlying structure as sound enough to justify patience.
There is also the playoff factor. With Philadelphia clinching another postseason appearance, ownership is reluctant to evaluate Patullo solely on regular-season inconsistency. Executives around the league believe the Eagles will allow the playoff performance to heavily influence the final decision, rather than making a move before seeing how the offense responds under playoff pressure.
Ultimately, the message coming from the top is clear: unless a clear, no-brainer upgrade becomes available, the Eagles are inclined to give Kevin Patullo at least one more year to build continuity, refine his system, and operate with a healthier roster. For Jeffrey Lurie, the long-term vision appears to outweigh short-term noise, even as the spotlight on Philadelphia’s offense grows brighter heading into the playoffs.
