Eagles OC fired after one season

FF Today's Take: While injuries certainly played a role, the last two seasons in Philadelphia showed us how much difference a good - not to mention experienced - offensive coordinator can make. Kellen Moore had this offense looking nearly unstoppable at times last season, while Patullo - a first-time play-caller - needed only a few weeks before he looked as though he was in over his head running an NFL offense. Expect Philadelphia to replace him with an established offensive mind and for players like Saquon Barkley and A.J. Brown to bounce back in 2026.Source:
