The Philadelphia Eagles have dismissed offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo following a season-long offensive slump. Head coach Nick Sirianni announced the move Tuesday, calling it a difficult decision but taking responsibility for the team falling short of its goals. A source indicates Patullo may remain with the organization in a different capacity despite the demotion.

Philadelphia's offense plummeted from top-tier status to the middle of the pack this season. Scoring dropped from 27.2 to 22.3 points per game, while the rushing attack fell from 179 to 116.9 yards per contest. Despite featuring stars like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown, the unit struggled with consistency and execution throughout the year.

Injuries along the offensive line certainly hampered performance, but players acknowledged execution lapses were also to blame. Jalen Hurts declined to publicly endorse Patullo, deferring personnel decisions to the front office. Hurts now faces his fifth coordinator change since becoming the starter, complicating the search for offensive stability.

Sirianni must now find a play-caller capable of maximizing the roster's expensive talent. The team led the league in three-and-outs despite finishing first in red-zone efficiency. Finding an identity that suits Hurts remains the primary objective for a championship-caliber roster that underperformed significantly.
