Former Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is finally speaking out, months after his unceremonious exit from the team. Known for his polarizing tenure in Philly, Patullo recently broke his silence as he embarks on a new chapter with the Miami Dolphins.
Patullo was fired by the Eagles following a turbulent 2025 season, where the offense struggled to find its rhythm and failed to show meaningful progress. The decision came as little surprise to fans who had grown frustrated with the unit's inconsistency, despite the team's previous success.
Just a month later, the Dolphins swooped in, hiring Patullo as their pass-game coordinator under new head coach Jeff Hafley and offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. It's a fresh start for a coach looking to rebuild his reputation.
In his first public comments since the firing, Patullo reflected on his time in Philadelphia. "All five years in Philadelphia, I had such a handle on a lot of different things," he told Dolphins reporters. "I was an assistant head coach. I was part OC throughout my entire time there. Even last year, I was so heavily involved in a lot of things."
While the 2025 campaign was undeniably rough, Patullo emphasized the valuable lessons he learned during his Eagles tenure. He pointed to the experience of building a program from the ground up in 2021 and navigating the challenges of a new roster and culture. "Just seeing what goes into it when you have a new roster, and you're trying to set a new culture in place. You're trying to set a new offense in place," he explained.
During his time with the Eagles, Patullo was part of a coaching staff that helped Nick Sirianni guide the team to two Super Bowl appearances in five seasons. It's a track record that still carries weight, even after a difficult final year. Now in Miami, he has the chance to contribute to a rebuild and prove that his earlier success was no fluke.
For Eagles fans, Patullo's departure was a long time coming. But for the coach himself, it's an opportunity to turn the page and write a new story. Whether he can recapture the magic of those Super Bowl runs remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: Kevin Patullo is ready for his second act.
