The Philadelphia Eagles have faced backlash from fans over their slow process in hiring a new offensive coordinator after removing Kevin Patullo from the role. Sportsradio 94WIP host Hunter Brody expressed frustration over reports that head coach Nick Sirianni may call plays himself if the team can't find a "worthy" OC, calling it a "joke" that would "waste another season." The Eagles have been linked to several candidates but have struggled to fill the position so far.

Why it matters

The Eagles' offense struggled this past season, leading to fan frustration. Hiring the right offensive coordinator is seen as crucial to maximizing the team's talented roster, which includes players like Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and Jalen Hurts. Fans are concerned that the team's inability to quickly fill the OC role could hamper the offense and waste another season.

The details

The Eagles removed Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator following a disappointing season that saw the team's offense rank 17th in DVOA. The team has been linked to several potential OC candidates, including former Miami OC Frank Smith, Colts OC Jim Bob Cooter, ex-Chiefs OC Matt Nagy, and Texans QB coach Jerrod Johnson. However, the team has struggled to find the right fit, leading to speculation that Sirianni could call plays himself if a worthy candidate isn't found.

  • The Eagles removed Kevin Patullo as offensive coordinator following the 2025 season.
  • The Eagles won the NFC East division in 2025 but faced fan backlash over the offense's performance.

What they’re saying

“I am angry that it's taking this long. This offensive coordinator hire was supposed to be significant. It was supposed to be going from Kevin Patullo — Kevin 'I Don't Know What I'm Doing' Patullo — to a Brian Daboll, to a Mike McDaniel. That's the way this was supposed to go.”

“If they can't find the right guy, Nick Sirianni can call plays? Oh my god, what are we doing? You want to waste the season? You want to waste another season — that's a joke. The fact that that's even mentioned makes my blood boil. That's a joke. If that's the case, fire Nick and restart, 'cause I'm telling you, it will be horrific if that man has full say in what's being called in-game and all the designed stuff — it'll be horrible.”

What’s next

The Eagles are expected to continue their search for a new offensive coordinator in the coming weeks, with a decision potentially coming before the start of the 2026 NFL season.

The takeaway

The Eagles' inability to quickly hire a new offensive coordinator has frustrated the team's passionate fan base, who are concerned that another season could be wasted if the right candidate isn't found. The team's offensive struggles last season have heightened the importance of this hire, and the fans will be closely watching to see how the situation unfolds.
