Eagles offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has been focused on the task despite the apparent announcement that he won’t leave New Orleans with the Eagles after Super Bowl LIX.
Outside of something dramatic, Moore is expected to become the 19th head coach in Saints franchise history. The expected move will force Philadelphia to name a new offensive coordinator for the third consecutive offseason.
Veteran NFL assistant Kevin Patullo has been working with the Eagles offense since the 2021 season, and he has a shot at being the leading candidate to assume the role of Hurts’ fourth offensive coordinator in this system.
During his Super Bowl press conference on Thursday, Sirianni raved about Patullo amid rumors that Moore is gone.

Patullo’s role as the passing game coordinator has provided some head coach and offensive coordinator responsibilities.
“I get to do both, which is very fortunate,” he said. “I get to see a lot of stuff as a coach that most people don’t get to see if they’re not the head coach. So from that point of view, it’s very unique. (Head coach Nick Sirianni) trusts me, and obviously we’re very close and I get to be part of a lot of decisions. So that’s really valuable to me.”
Patullo has played a key role in the development of Jalen Hurts. The 44-year-old has been a quarterbacks coach and pass-game specialist at the NFL level for most of the last 20 years.
