Eagles Target Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll in Accelerated Offensive Coordinator Search After Patullo’s Removal

Philadelphia is pursuing a proven play-caller to revive an offense that slid to the bottom half of the league in 2025.

Overview

  • Head coach Nick Sirianni removed Kevin Patullo from play-calling duties two days after the Wild Card loss, and a team source says he could stay in a different role.
  • Dianna Russini reports the Eagles have begun outreach with former head coaches Mike McDaniel and Brian Daboll, who are at the top of their candidate list.
  • Both McDaniel and Daboll also have head-coach interviews elsewhere, potentially complicating Philadelphia’s timeline to secure an experienced play-caller.
  • Ian Rapoport reports the team intends to “swing big” and may look beyond Sirianni’s previous internal ties for a fresh offensive direction.
  • Philadelphia’s offense ranked 24th in yards and 19th in points in 2025 and failed to score a second-half touchdown in the 23–19 playoff loss to the 49ers, with the next hire set to be the fifth OC in five seasons.
