Doug Pederson Visits Eagles Facility, Joins as Offensive Assistant Amid Kevin Patullo Struggles
Philadelphia, PA – October 12, 2025
In a move that’s sending waves through Philadelphia, former Super Bowl–winning head coach Doug Pederson made a surprise visit to the Eagles’ training facility
on Sunday and has officially joined the team as an offensive assistant, according to team sources.
The reunion comes amid growing pressure on offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, whose debut season has been marred by one of the league’s most stagnant offenses.
Through six weeks, the Eagles rank 29th in total offense (274.5 yards per game), 28th in passing (179.2), and 26th in rushing (95.3) — a shocking decline for a team that once dominated with creativity and balance.
Fans and analysts alike have criticized Patullo’s predictable play-calling and tendency to abandon the run game too early, putting star quarterback Jalen Hurts in increasingly difficult situations.
Pederson, who led Philadelphia to its first Super Bowl title in 2017, is stepping in to
help stabilize the offensive structure and mentor Hurts, whom he originally coached during his rookie season.
During his five-year tenure from 2016–2020, Pederson compiled a 42–37–1 record, went
4–2 in the postseason, and famously guided Nick Foles to a Super Bowl MVP performance over the Patriots.
Since leaving Philadelphia, Pederson rebuilt the Jacksonville Jaguars, helping Trevor Lawrence
recover from a disastrous rookie year and leading the team to two winning seasons and a playoff victory.
The move doesn’t immediately replace Patullo, but insiders believe Pederson is being positioned as a
potential midseason successor if the offense doesn’t improve soon.
“Doug knows this city, this roster, and how to win here,” one team insider told Eagles Wire. “He’s here to bring calm, structure, and maybe a spark that’s been missing.”
For Eagles fans, this reunion feels like more than nostalgia — it’s a strategic rescue mission for a franchise desperate to reclaim its offensive identity.
Whether Pederson remains an assistant or soon reclaims play-calling duties, one thing is clear:
Philadelphia just got its Super Bowl architect back in the building.
