Nick Sirianni Reveals What Kevin Patullo Brings to Eagles Offense

On Wednesday, Philadelphia named Kevin Patullo the new offensive coordinator under head coach Nick Sirianni, and the team expects a smooth transition.

Sirianni spoke about what Patullo would bring to the team.

“Very important to the success that we’ve had,” Sirianni said of Patullo, via Dave Spadaro of the team website. “He wears a lot of different hats. Helps me a lot with different head coaching things. I can’t tell you that I make a decision without saying to Kevin first, ‘What do you think?’ That’s in everything. That’s in-game, out of game, with scheduling; that’s with offensive stuff; that’s with game-management stuff. I lean on him a lot. 

“That continuity is really important, because he knows what I’m thinking in certain situations, how you want things to be taught, all of those different things, so he’s been a great resource for me the entire time, [and] our success this year, but really the success we’ve had since we’ve been here. Can’t be great without the greatness of others, and that is definitely a fact with Kevin Patullo, and I trust him with everything. Got a ton of trust and faith with him. He’s awesome.”

This isn't anything new for Hurts, who played under a different offensive coordinator each season of his college career. As a pro, Hurts has had a new OC in every year except for one, within Shane Steichen as his coordinator from 2021-22.

Patullo has been around for a while, entering his 16th season coaching in the NFL, and has spent time working with Sirianni in Indianapolis.

If the team wanted a smooth transition, they've found the best candidate.
