Kevin Patullo has been elevated to offensive coordinator by the Philadelphia Eagles, giving quarterback Jalen Hurts his sixth play-caller as he enters his sixth NFL season.

Kellen Moore served as Philadelphia’s offensive coordinator in 2024 as the Eagles won by NFL championship by beating the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in Super Bowl LIX on Feb. 9. Two days later, the New Orleans Saints named Moore as their head coach.

The Eagles announced Patullo had become their offensive coordinator on Wednesday afternoon.

Patullo has worked as Philadelphia’s passing-game coordinator since 2021, the season when Hurts became the Eagles’ No. 1 QB. Patullo also had been Philadelphia’s associate head coach the past two seasons.

In Hurts’ first season as the Eagles’ starter, new coach Nick Sirianni called the plays, taking over those duties from the man he succeeded, Doug Pederson. But with Philadelphia at 3-6, he turned over that duty to offensive coordinator Shane Steichen. The Eagles won six of their next eight games and made the playoffs.

Steichen remained Philadelphia’s play-caller in 2022, when the Eagles went 14-3 in the regular season and reached the Super Bowl. After that season, the Indianapolis Colts made Steichen their head coach.

In 2023, the Eagles had a 10-1 record before winning only one of their remaining seven games. Offensive coordinator Brian Johnson was a casualty of Philadelphia’s tailspin.

This season, the Eagles had a 14-3 regular-season record, then won four games in the playoffs to capture the NFL title for the 2024 campaign. With Moore calling the plays, Philadelphia scored an NFL-record 145 postseason points.

Changing play-callers on an annual basis was something Hurts already had experienced when he reached the NFL.

In his freshman season at Alabama, when Hurts won the SEC Offensive Player of the Year Award, Lane Kiffin called the plays for the Crimson Tide, until he departed to become the head coach at Florida Atlantic. Steve Sarkisian called the plays in the CFP national-championship game – a 35-31 loss to Clemson on Jan. 9, 2017.

Brian Daboll worked as Alabama’s offensive coordinator in 2017. The Tide defeated Georgia 26-23 in overtime in the CFP national-championship game, and Daboll departed to become the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills.

In 2018, Mike Locksley worked as Alabama’s offensive coordinator. He departed after the season to become the head coach at Maryland, and Hurts left, too. After losing the starting spot to Tua Tagovailoa, Hurts transferred to Oklahoma for the 2019 campaign.

With the Sooners, Hurts made his fourth straight trip to the College Football Playoff and finished as the runner-up for the Heisman Trophy with Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley calling the plays.
