The end of Kevin Patullo’s tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles didn’t go well. After just one season as offensive coordinator, Nick Sirianni and the team relieved him of that role. That change came following the Eagles struggling on offense just a year removed from a record-setting and Super Bowl-winning campaign.
This week, Patullo addressed his Eagles tenure and departure for the first time publicly. All indications are the assistant coach learned a lot which he will apply to his new role with the Miami Dolphins.
“All five years in Philadelphia, I had such a handle on a lot of different things,” Patullo told The Sun Sentinel’s David Furones. “I was an assistant head coach. I was part OC throughout my entire time there. Even last year, I so heavily involved in a lot of things.
“I just think the experience of going through that, from building a program up from 21′ to this past year … Just seeing what goes into it when you have a new roster, and you’re trying to set a new culture in place. You’re trying to set a new offense in place.”
This will be the first season Patullo is not on Sirianni’s staff with the Eagles. Patullo also coached under Sirianni with the Indianapolis Colts.
The Dolphins hired Patullo as pass game coordinator this offseason.
