Eagles' Coach Nick Sirianni Stands by Patullo Amid Offseason Questions
In the wake of Sunday's disappointing 24-21 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, Eagles fans are eagerly awaiting a response from head coach Nick Sirianni regarding the team's struggling offense. While many have called for a shake-up at the top, Sirianni remains steadfast in his support for Kevin Patullo, the newly installed offensive coordinator.
"I feel like we got the right people," Sirianni said during Monday's video conference with local media. "As coaches, we're always looking for answers, and it's never just one thing. It's every piece of the puzzle – coaching, playing, execution, scheme, everything. We gotta be better in all those aspects."
Sirianni acknowledged that the Eagles' offense has struggled to find its footing this season, despite boasting a talented roster featuring Jalen Hurts, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith. While Patullo's hire was initially seen as a desperate attempt to address the team's woes, Sirianni remains optimistic about his OC's abilities.
"I think what Kevin did yesterday was good," Sirianni said. "And like every player and myself, he'll want plays back. When you're going through it like that, that's what you're always looking at. It's never just one thing."
Sirianni's willingness to stick by Patullo comes as a surprise to many fans, who had hoped for a change in the wake of Sunday's disappointing loss. However, the head coach remains committed to finding answers and making adjustments to improve the team's performance.
"We're all searching for answers to make it more consistent," Sirianni said. "There's some good things, obviously, there's some not so good things. We gotta find things that we really can hang our hat on, and the complements that come off of that."
For now, it seems that Patullo will stick with Sirianni, at least for the time being. But as the Eagles approach the end of the season, fans will be watching closely to see if changes are made to address their concerns about the team's struggling offense.

. I mean, a 24-21 loss is just embarrassing and that guy's offense was garbage 
. Like, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley are not getting the ball enough 
. And what's up with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith? They're both super talented but like, we still can't score? 
. I guess if Sirianni thinks Patullo is the answer, then maybe he knows something I don't... 
. But honestly, it's just frustrating seeing our team struggle so much 
. Can't they just make some changes for once?! 
. I get that Sirianni wants to support his guy, but isn't it time for some tough love 
. I'm watching closely to see how things play out, but my gut is telling me... 
anyway, i guess Patullo got lucky with the interview yesterday and now everyone thinks he's a genius coach. 
but is it a desperation move or do i trust the coaches to figure it out? 
are we sacrificing short-term results for long-term success? 
only time will tell if sirianni made the right call 
Sirianni seems genuinely confident in his abilities and has laid out some solid points about how the team needs to improve across multiple facets, from coaching to execution. 
One thing that might be worth keeping an eye on is how much the team adapts their scheme to better suit Jalen Hurts' strengths – if they can find ways to play to his strengths, it could really help turn things around. 
and I don't know what's going on with that offense... but you know who isn't frustrating me? Nick Sirianni 
, he's being super transparent about what's going on and acknowledging the issues they need to work through. And you have to give him credit for sticking by Kevin Patullo 
, it takes guts to do that when everyone else is calling for a change.
... especially with Hurts, Barkley, Brown, and Smith on the roster 
. Anyone else think Patullo has what it takes to lead this offense? 
. Patullo might not be perfect, but Sirianni is giving him a chance, and that's what matters 
. Patullo seems nice and all, but can he lead this offense to victory? We need to see some real progress before I start trusting him 
. still, i guess it's better to be loyal to your coaches than to make some rash decisions based on one loss 
. We can't expect perfection from any one person or system, and it seems like Sirianni's trying to look at the bigger picture here 
. fans are fed up, and it's not just about the loss on sunday, it's about all season long 
. sirianni says they're searching for answers, but what does that even mean? 
. fans want to see some real progress, not just empty promises 
. and what's with the "it's never just one thing" comment? 
come on, nick, give us something concrete to work with 
. will sirianni stick by patullo, or will we see some changes at the top? 
maybe he just needs to shake up the scheme or get some new wrinkles 
I'd love to see some actual data or stats on how Patullo's been doing compared to previous OCs... until then, I'm gonna keep my skepticism up 
. Sirianni is giving his OC a chance because he believes in him, and that's what matters most 
. Patullo might just prove to be the missing piece of the puzzle
