Early Life & Playing Career
Kevin Alan Patullo was born on July 14, 1981, in Hillsborough Township, New Jersey. He attended Western High School in Davie, Florida, where he played as a quarterback. Unfortunately, he broke his leg in the first game of his senior year.
He went on to play college football at the University of South Florida (USF), switching between quarterback and wide receiver roles from 1999 to 2002. Patullo graduated with a marketing degree and earned multiple Academic All-Conference USA honors.
Coaching Career
Patullo transitioned into coaching shortly after college. His early coaching roles included graduate assistant positions at USF and Arizona. He made his way to the NFL, serving as an offensive assistant and quality control coach with the Kansas City Chiefs, followed by the Buffalo Bills. He later worked with the Tennessee Titans as an assistant wide receivers coach.
Patullo joined the New York Jets in 2015 as their quarterbacks coach. However, his stint there came to an end when he was fired alongside five other assistant coaches on January 3, 2017.
He then coached for Texas A&M (as a senior offensive analyst) and held various roles with the Indianapolis Colts — including wide receivers coach and pass game specialist.
In 2021, Patullo joined the Philadelphia Eagles as their passing game coordinator. He later added the title of associate head coach in 2023. On February 19, 2025, he was promoted to Offensive Coordinator (OC), replacing Kellen Moore.
Controversy & “Fire Patullo” Movement
Despite his rise, Patullo has been a polarizing figure among Eagles fans. Following the Eagles’ poor performance in the 2025 season — particularly after a loss to the New York Giants — calls for his firing resurfaced.
On Reddit, there’s been intense backlash:
-
In the r/eagles subreddit, one post reads:
“The Eagles problem is no longer Kevin Patullo … It’s clear that he’s in over his head …”
-
Another thread in r/FireKevinPatullo bluntly states:
“Just putrid man … Fire Patullo into the sun.”
-
In r/NFCEastMemeWar, a user wrote:
“Remove Kevin Patullo from the Philadelphia Eagles. … I think he is a prime candidate to become your next head coach.”
-
On r/eagles, fans are frustrated about the lack of coordinator stability:
“When Patullo was promoted, everyone said the ‘continuity’ would be good … But here we are yet again … Every time we lose an OC… we end up firing the OC … in hopes of finding another one …”
In another thread, fans expressed concern that hiring internally stifles innovation:
“If we want a creative exciting passing game, it’s almost a guarantee we won’t get it under Patullo … he has been in the position to implement them for the past 4 years.”
Personal Life & Family
Kevin Patullo is married to Nichole Morrone Patullo. The couple tied the knot in July 2006. They have two children: a daughter, Lauren, and a son, Logan.
Salary & Net Worth
-
Salary: While exact figures for his current contract aren’t public, Patullo’s promotion to Offensive Coordinator implies a significant pay bump. Reports suggest that his role as OC will come with higher responsibilities and compensation.
-
Net Worth: Estimates vary. Some sources like Mabumbe suggest his net worth is in the millions, considering his long NFL coaching career. However, other less-reliable aggregators like PeopleAi put his net worth unusually low (in the hundreds of thousands), which seems to conflict with his career trajectory.
-
Public Records: There’s no confirmed detailed financial disclosure on his contracts, so much of the net worth estimations remain speculative.
Analysis & Outlook
-
Strengths: Patullo brings continuity and a deep working relationship with head coach Nick Sirianni — the two have a long history, including time spent together in Indianapolis.
-
Challenges: Critics argue that despite his familiarity, Patullo’s offense lacks creativity. Some Reddit fans believe his promotion was more about loyalty than innovation. Others worry about stagnation, especially when the offense under his leadership shows predictable patterns.
-
Pressure: Given that he’s now calling plays as OC, Patullo’s position is more exposed. If the Eagles’ offense struggles, the “Fire Patullo” movement could gain momentum.
Conclusion
Kevin Patullo’s rise from graduate assistant to offensive coordinator reflects his endurance and the trust he has earned within the Eagles’ organization. However, his promotion hasn’t silenced critics — both media and fans (especially on Reddit) remain skeptical. Whether he can deliver a more dynamic and effective offense will be key not only for his job security but also for the Eagles’ postseason ambitions.
