The Kevin Patullo era is officially over in Philadelphia as the Eagles‘ assistant coach will take his talents to the AFC East. After being retained on the Eagles staff, Mike Garafalo is reporting that Kevin Patullo will depart Philadelphia and join the Dolphins as Miami’s pass-game coordinator.

A Davie, Florida native, Patullo will join new head coach Jeff Hafley‘s staff in Miami, where he’ll work under newly promoted offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik.

After a disastrous first season at the helm, the Philadelphia Eagles fired Patullo as offensive coordinator in a move that’s been expected for months. It wasn’t the disastrous 2023 meltdown, which saw the Birds lose 6-7 down the stretch, including a blowout loss to the Buccaneers in the wild card round. Still, the frustrations were similar for an Eagles offense that can’t avoid sputtering after any first-half success. Sunday perfectly encompassed every frustrating analysis of the Eagles’ offensive scheme. After a first quarter that saw Philadelphia amass over 100 total yards, the Eagles only managed 119 yards and 6 points in the second half, ending what should be a one-and-done experiment with Kevin Patullo as the team’s offensive coordinator.

In the Wild Card loss to San Francisco,  the Eagles’ offense had 19 first downs, but were 5-16 on third downs, 3-5 on fourth downs, for 307 total yards, 167 yards passing, 140 yards rushing, and 2-3 in the red zone while holding the football for 11 more minutes (35:39-24:21).

An offense that ranked in the top 10 in key offensive categories last season regressed to one of the league’s worst in those same categories.
