Eagles OC Patullo Remains Job-Safe, Despite On-Field Struggles, Says Coach Sirianni

Despite the Eagles' recent collapse against the Dallas Cowboys, coach Nick Sirianni is standing by his offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, and says he hasn't considered making any changes. The team's offense has been sputtering all season, despite being stacked with talent on paper.

In a Monday video conference, Sirianni praised Patullo's performance in Sunday's game, saying he did "a good job of calling it." However, the coach also acknowledged that the offense is not consistent and that they need to find answers to make it more reliable. Sirianni emphasized that assigning blame is not an option, and that they are searching for solutions to improve execution, scheme, and everything else.

Sirianni's comments have been met with skepticism from some fans, who are growing frustrated with the team's inability to put together a coherent offense. Patullo has been the target of criticism throughout the season, but Sirianni is confident in his abilities.

"I feel like we got the right people," Sirianni said. "We're all searching for answers to make it more consistent. There's some good things. Obviously, there's some not so good things, and we gotta find things that we really can hang our hat on and the complements that come off of that."

Sirianni and the Eagles have made in-season coaching changes before, including hiring Shane Steichen as offensive coordinator in 2021 and Matt Patricia as defensive coordinator last season. While these moves didn't necessarily lead to success, Sirianni remains optimistic that they can find a solution with what they currently have.

"We talk about identity, we always wanna play 'Tough, detailed, together,' and that's never changing," Sirianni said. "But the way you play each individual game obviously can change. So it can't be just, 'Hey, we gotta run it better,' or 'Hey, we gotta pass it better,' 'Hey, we gotta play action better.'"

The Eagles have a crucial game coming up next week, and fans will be watching to see if they can turn their season around. For now, Sirianni is sticking by Patullo and the rest of his coaching staff, hoping that they can find the answers needed to reach their goal.

I feel like coach Sirianni is being super supportive of his guys at the helm, you know? I mean, they're having a tough season on the field, but he's not giving up on them just yet. It's like, yeah, they need to work on consistency and all that, but assigning blame isn't the solution . He's all about finding ways to make it better and getting everyone on the same page. And I think that's a good approach - maybe they just need to tweak things here and there. Fingers crossed for the team next week!

I'm not sure how much more time I can take with this offense ! We've got all the talent in the world, but it's like they're speaking different languages on the field every week. Sirianni's trying to give Patullo a chance, but honestly, it feels like he's just throwing him out there to take one for the team . I think some changes are needed, not because of Patullo, but because we need to find what works and stick to it . Can't we just play one game with a consistent plan?

I'm not buying it . The Eagles' offense has been all over the place this season, and coach Sirianni is still defending Patullo despite all the struggles? It's time for some tough love – or at least a re-evaluation of their play-calling strategy . I get that assigning blame isn't an option, but come on, fans are getting frustrated and it's hard to feel confident in the team when they can't seem to execute even the simplest plays.

I think Sirianni is trying to send a message about teamwork and consistency, but it's just not translating on the field . The stats don't lie – the offense has been sputtering all season, and Patullo's job security is starting to look like a myth . It'll be interesting to see how this plays out next week against their next opponent... or if Sirianni sticks by his guns .

so i guess patullo's still got it... like, who needs a functioning offense anyway? coach sirianni's trying to spin this as "finding solutions" but we all know what's really going on – more of the same old thing, just with different words. and honestly, i'm getting kinda tired of sirianni's "we're searching for answers" routine. like, can't he just admit they need a coaching change already?

I'm not gonna lie , this whole thing just seems like one big experiment . The Eagles have a talented roster, but it's clear that their offense is still figuring things out . Coach Sirianni is being super chill about it, and I get why - assigning blame wouldn't help . But at the same time, fans are getting kinda restless .

I think what's really cool is how much emphasis is put on "identity" for the team . Like, they want to be a cohesive unit that executes their game plan perfectly . And I'm all for it - consistency is key! But let's not forget that sometimes you gotta shake things up and try new approaches .

I mean, Coach Sirianni's got this - he knows what he wants, and he's gonna find a way to make it happen . The Eagles might not be the best team right now, but they're still in the hunt . And hey, even if things don't go their way next week... who knows? Maybe that'll be the spark that sets them off !

I'm not sure I fully get why coach Sirianni is sticking with OC Patullo despite the team's on-field struggles . On one hand, it makes sense to give your coordinator a chance to turn things around - after all, sometimes you just need to tweak the system and it clicks . But at the same time, if the offense isn't showing any signs of improvement, it feels like they're kicking the can down the road .

I'm also a bit confused by the coach's comments about "finding things that we really can hang our hat on" - what does that even mean? Is he saying that there are certain aspects of the game that Patullo is consistently getting right, and if he could focus more on those areas, the team would improve?
