Philadelphia, PA — In the wake of a 17–34 loss to the New York Giants and mounting frustration with an offense deemed “below standard,” the Philadelphia Eagles are  bringing back former head coach

Doug Pederson as offensive coordinator to replace Kevin Patullo. The move aims to steady the unit, reintroduce clearer structure, and diversify tendencies that have become too predictable in high-leverage moments.

Internal evaluations cite an unstable run–pass rhythm, too few “easy buttons” to get the quarterback in rhythm, and inconsistent red-zone and third-down conversion. Despite piling up yards on sustained drives, the Eagles repeatedly missed pivotal chances—overthrown deep shots, tepid openers after halftime, and drive-killing miscues in medium third-down situations.

Pederson, who delivered the first Super Bowl in franchise history, is expected to install a streamlined plan built around:

• Quick game/RPO to reestablish timing and reduce negative plays.

• Credible play-action with a stronger run sell before dialing up shot plays.

• Controlled designed QB runs to lighten the box and open lanes for the ground game.

• A scripted 10–15-play burst to start the third quarter , addressing sluggish post-halftime sequences.

  

Organizationally, head coach Nick Sirianni retains overarching authority; Pederson leads play-calling and weekly self-scout with a sharp focus on 3rd down, red zone, and opponent-specific game plans. Short-term success will be tracked through third-down conversion rate, red-zone TD rate, third-quarter EPA/play, a measured cadence of designed QB runs, and target share for the top wideouts in

3rd-and-4–7.

Locker-room expectations center on Pederson’s championship standard: cleaner spacing and route detail, crisper in-game adjustments, and a unifying presence amid scrutiny. The overarching goal is immediate offensive stabilization without disrupting the team’s existing leadership architecture.
