Eagles promote Kevin Patullo to offensive coordinator, rent new passing sport coordinator

The Philadelphia Eagles are selling passing sport coordinator/affiliate head coach Kevin Patullo to offensive coordinator, in line with an official crew announcement.

The Eagles are additionally hiring Miami Dolphins offensive assistant Parks Frazier to be their new passing sport coordinator, in line with a report from NFL insider Tom Pelissero.

KEVIN PATULLO

Earlier this month, we wrote about how Patullo was thought of to be a “strong candidate” to interchange Kellen Moore.

Right here’s what we mentioned on the time:

From the surface trying in, Patullo doesn’t essentially seem to be a slam dunk candidate from a advantage standpoint. Just a few issues:

He’s by no means been an offensive coordinator earlier than and he doesn’t have in depth play-calling expertise.

He’s been Sirianni’s right-hand man since arriving in Philly. And the Eagles clearly wished Sirianni to be much less concerned with the offense after their 2023 collapse, therefore the Moore hiring. The road between Sirianni/Patullo could possibly be blurred, which was a problem with the Sirianni/Johnson dynamic.

The Eagles’ passing sport hasn’t precisely been superior this season! As Sheil Kapadia lately famous, they ranked 14th in passing DVOA, which was tied for his or her lowest rating in any season with Hurts because the starter. And it’s not just like the Eagles lack the required expertise for a high 10 passing offense.

This isn’t to recommend that Patullo doesn’t stand an opportunity at being candidate. Maybe he has a promising plan to repair among the offensive points from this season.

Eagles followers weren’t precisely jazzed in regards to the prospect of a Patullo promotion. Maybe that’s modified after the crew’s Tremendous Bowl win however these are outcomes from a February 3 ballot:

Regardless of beforehand voicing want for teaching continuity, Jalen Hurts didn’t precisely appear thrilled a couple of potential Patullo promotion when requested in regards to the chance just some days after the Eagles’ Tremendous Bowl win:

The Eagles had been required to interview a minimum of two minority candidates to interchange Moore however we by no means heard of their reported curiosity in these folks previous to this Patullo promotion. Jeff McLane stories “there wasn’t an extensive search” for Moore’s alternative.

Just a few issues on the #Eagles selling Kevin Patullo as OC that I’ve been listening to from sources:

– He was the main candidate as soon as the crew knew that Kellen Moore was more likely to go away for the Saints HC job.

– So there wasn’t an intensive search.

– Patullo has been Nick…

Patullo would possibly find yourself being offensive coordinator. He contributed to the Eagles’ Tremendous Bowl success at some stage and he may need good concepts for the way forward for this offense. His shut relationship with Sirianni may be a constructive when it comes to the top coach trusting him to name performs not like how Sirianni reportedly meddled within the play-calling course of when Brian Johnson was OC.

Patullo has a lot to show, although, because the Eagles attempt to repeat as Tremendous Bowl champs.

PARKS FRAZIER

Right here’s a snapshot of the 33-year-old Parker’s teaching expertise:

2015 — Samford defensive high quality management
2015 — Center Tennessee State defensive high quality management
2016 — Arkansas State graduate assistant
2018-2019 — Indianapolis Colts assistant to the top coach
2020 — Indianapolis Colts offensive high quality management
2021-2022 — Indianapolis Colts assistant quarterbacks coach
2023 — Carolina Panthers passing sport coordinator
2024 — Miami Dolphins offensive assistant

Frazier notably overlapped with Sirianni and Patullo in Indy from 2018-2020.

Frazier truly completed the 2022 season calling performs for the Colts after Frank Reich bought fired and Jeff Saturday took over as interim head coach (lol).
