Nick Sirianni isn’t the only member of the Eagles unwilling to talk about the future — particularly where an embattled coordinator is concerned.
Hours after the Eagles’ season came to an end Sunday with a 23-19 wild-card defeat to the 49ers at home, quarterback Jalen Hurts was asked if he wanted offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo to return and failed to provide a ringing endorsement of Kellen Moore’s successor.
“It’s too soon to think about that, and like I said, I put my trust in [Eagles general manager] Howie [Roseman], Nick and Mr. Lurie [team owner Jeffrey Lurie],” Hurts said, according to a clip shared Monday by Fox Sports.
Patullo came under immense scrutiny in his first year as OC, given an offense packed with superstars such as Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith stalled throughout the season.
The former pass game coordinator and associate head coach drew criticism for his final play call in Sunday’s loss, with four wideouts running go routes on a fourth-and-11.
“Game on the line, 4th & 11, and this is what Kevin Patullo and Nick Sirianni come up with? Sickening,” former NFL linebacker-turned-analyst Emmanuel Acho griped on X.
When asked about Patullo’s performance in his postgame press conference, Sirianni said, “There will be time to evaluate everybody’s performance. Right now, I feel for all our guys in the locker room. All the players, all the coaches.”
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Monday morning on “Get Up” that Patullo is expected to be fired.
The Eagles’ run back to the Super Bowl this season was filled with speculation of discontent within the offense, namely Brown and his role.
The star wide receiver, who clashed with Sirianni on the sideline in Sunday’s season-ending loss, did not speak to the media afterward, a move he allegedly repeated Monday.
When asked about Brown on Monday, Hurts said the two have talked and are in a “great place.”
It remains to be seen what the fallout will be in Philly after last year’s champs failed to defend their title — and just who will be on the roster and staff come the 2026 season.
