Nick Sirianni made a decision on Monday that came as no surprise to anyone. The Eagles head coach announced Kevin Patullo will keep his job despite mounting pressure from everywhere.
However, Philadelphia fans are also known for their rigidity, as they continued to chant “Fire Kevin” throughout the 24-15 defeat to Chicago on Black Friday. Their voices fell on deaf ears in the coaching offices.
Philadelphia Eagles fans erupt with fury as Nick Sirianni refuses to fire Kevin Patullo
Chants began early from frustrated Eagles fans and grew louder as offensive struggles continued. Lincoln Financial Field turned hostile against their own team, watching three and outs pile up repeatedly.
Sirianni said, “It’s never about just one person. I have confidence in the entire group. If I thought it was one thing, then you make those changes”. His loyalty to Patullo now borders on stubbornness that could cost him everything.

Social media exploded with fan reactions after Sirianni’s announcement dropped. The anger boiled over across every platform as supporters vented their frustrations about the perceived futility of the offense.
One fan wrote, “It’s coming down to Siriannis ego at this point I feel like he doesn’t wanna admit it was a bad call to hire his friend.” The comment highlighted concerns about cronyism over competence in the coordinator hiring process.
A second fan stated, “Kevin Patullo looked like a grade schooler calling plays compared to Johnson.” The comparison to Chicago’s impressive offensive coordinator Ben Johnson stung particularly hard. Johnson’s Bears ran wild for 281 yards while dominating time of possession.
A third fan declared, “Too late now their season ended last week with that historic choke job in Dallas.” The 21-point blown lead against the Cowboys still haunts the Philadelphia fan base deeply. That collapse revealed fundamental problems that haven’t been fixed.
A fourth fan observed, “This feels more like a team issue not a coaching issue. You can feel the disconnect you can see it.” They noted that players no longer seem motivated to win. Meanwhile, other teams play with the infectious energy the Eagles lack entirely.
A fifth fan complained, “Yes needs to happen. Why must we get down before we open up the passing game and route concepts?” The predictable offensive script is frustrating to everyone watching. Philadelphia waits until trailing before attempting anything creative downfield.
A sixth fan simply stated, “Yes 6 games ago,” showing how long patience had already run out. Many supporters wanted changes made weeks earlier, before things spiraled this badly. Now the season teeters on collapse with playoff hopes fading fast.
Former NFL quarterback Dan Orlovsky tweeted, “Run the dang football,” calling out Nick Sirianni and Kevin Patullo for abandoning the run. The criticism joined a chorus from analysts questioning Philadelphia’s game management and play-calling decisions.

Chad Ochocinco Johnson said earlier that the play calls are too predictable and that he’s just running hitch and slant routes with AJ Brown. The Hall of Fame receiver recognized how easy it has become to defend Philadelphia’s offense.
The Super Bowl champions now sit at 8 wins and 4 losses with momentum completely gone. Philadelphia hosts the Los Angeles Chargers on December 8 after their mini bye week. Kevin Patullo gets another chance to prove he belongs in this role despite zero evidence supporting that claim.
