He has been a star in his role for four seasons with the Eagles' coaching staff, helping the offense continually stay ahead of the NFL curve. Kevin Patullo now takes on a new role as Philadelphia's offensive coordinator, allowing for continuity on the coaching staff and giving the offense and quarterback Jalen Hurts a familiar voice and like mindset for the 2025 season.

The team announced the elevation of Patullo, the team's passing game coordinator since 2021 who added the title of associate head coach in 2023, after 2024 Offensive Coordinator Kellen Moore moved on to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

For Patullo, his increased responsibility is a natural move: He's moving into his 16th season coaching in the NFL, all on the offensive side of the ball primarily working with wide receivers and quarterbacks. He brings to the table a wealth of experience and understanding of what works for the Eagles' offense, learning alongside the likes of Shane Steichen (offensive coordinator in 2021 and 2022 who is now the head coach in Indianapolis), Brian Johnson (now the assistant head coach with Washington), and Moore (who helped the Eagles win Super Bowl LIX).

"Around the league, the offenses are kind of evolving every year and so as a coach, that's your job. You have to evolve. You have to study other people and take what you like and past experiences and go from there," Patullo said during the week leading up to Super Bowl LIX.

It has certainly worked for Patullo and the Eagles' offense since Nick Sirianni became the head coach in 2021 and made sure Patullo, who coached with Sirianni with the Colts, was part of the staff. Since 2021, the Eagles have the following league rankings on areas that Patullo directly touched:

• 4th in offensive EPA (expected points added) per play

• 2nd in passing yards per attempt

• 2nd in fewest interceptions

• 3rd in points scored

• 3rd in drive score percentage

• 3rd in touchdown percentage

• 5th in successful play percentage

• 6th in passer rating

Said Sirianni of Patullo: "Very important to the success that we've had. 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, 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."

Patullo enjoyed an outstanding playing career as a quarterback and wide receiver at South Florida and began coaching as a grad assistant at his alma mater. His first NFL job was in Kansas City in 2007 as an offensive assistant/quality control coach and then coached with Buffalo (offensive quality control/assistant WRs, 2010-2012), Tennessee (assistant WRs, 2014), New York Jets (quarterbacks, 2015-2016), and then with the Colts from 2018-2020 as a wide receivers coach and then pass game specialist before coming to Philadelphia with Sirianni.

Said Patullo of the value of having coached both quarterbacks and wide receivers: "Being able to coach both positions, you can really marry the two. Coaching receivers in Indy, I was able to use my quarterback knowledge from coaching that position and playing it and get the guys to understand why they needed to be somewhere and why we needed to have them there at that time. ... I think you can teach the guys a perspective that they're not used to hearing."
