Eagles’ Coaching Changes Loom Following Super Bowl Win
It seems the Eagles are facing a significant overhaul in their coaching staff after a rollercoaster season that started with a Super Bowl victory but ended in a wild-card loss.
Word has it that offensive coordinator Kevin Pattullo is set to be dismissed after just one season, primarily due to lackluster offensive performance.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, “League insiders anticipate major changes to breathe new life into the offense. This likely means a new offensive coordinator in the coming season.” It appears this sentiment is widely echoed across the league.
When pressed about Pattullo’s future during a post-game interview, head coach Nick Sirianni seemed to prioritize the present, especially given the criticism Pattullo has faced from both media and fans.
Sirianni commented, “There will be time to evaluate everyone’s performance. Right now, I feel for all the players in the locker room. Everyone, including coaches, will be assessed in due time.”
Pattullo, who was elevated to his current role after serving as the passing game coordinator and associate head coach—following Kellen Moore’s departure to the Saints—has faced consistent scrutiny as the offense struggled throughout the season.
Frustration bubbled over among fans and former players following a questionable final play call on fourth-and-11 that had all four Eagles wideouts running go routes.
Putting it bluntly, former Eagles linebacker Emmanuel Acho labeled the decision “disgusting.” Clips of that final play have since circulated online, with some viewers claiming quarterback Jalen Hurts appeared “visibly shocked” by the call.
“Clearly, the last play didn’t go as we wanted,” Sirianni remarked after the game.
It was a tough finale for last season’s champions, leaving them with lingering questions as they head into the offseason.
Alongside Pattullo’s uncertain future, there’s also concern about star receiver A.J. Brown, who has openly voiced frustration regarding his role on the team this past season.
A heated sideline incident between Brown and Sirianni, which the coach attributed to “high” postseason emotions, only fueled speculation about any underlying issues.
Meanwhile, the Eagles will share playoff sidelines with the Chiefs, who were their opponents in last year’s Super Bowl.
On the other hand, San Francisco is gearing up to face top-seeded Seattle in the NFC divisional round this Saturday.
