New offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo wants to be close to the quarterback during games and will call the Eagles’ offensive plays from the sidelines
Eagles offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has completed two training camp practices and already has a steady idea of how he’ll interact with the NFL’s most explosive offensive unit. Patullo held his first training camp press conference and revealed that he’ll call plays from the sidelines.
Patullo told the media that he wants to be closer to the Eagles’ quarterbacks, mainly Jalen Hurts.
The biggest question for every new player caller in the NFL is always the same, and Patullo is tasked with ensuring “offensive continuity” for the league’s top unit. Patullo has collaborated with Hurts for four seasons, giving him a deep understanding of Hurts’ preferences, strengths, and weaknesses. Patullo also comprehends the abilities of running back Saquon Barkley, as well as wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.
The 2025 season will be his 16th season coaching in the NFL, all on the offensive side of the ball, primarily working with wide receivers and quarterbacks. Patullo understands the Eagles’ offensive process and identity after working alongside and watching 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).
Unlike Brian Johnson and Kellen Moore, Patullo has coached both quarterbacks and wide receivers, which could help the Eagles’ new play-caller avoid some of the former pitfalls.
