Eagles coach criticizes angry fans after they egged his $1.3m mansion following latest defeat
Share and Follow

Kevin Patullo, the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles, has responded to an unsettling incident involving his New Jersey home, which became a target for disgruntled fans over the weekend.

The $1.3 million residence was pelted with eggs by a group of irate Eagles supporters in the aftermath of Philadelphia’s 24-15 loss to the Chicago Bears on Black Friday.

A startling video circulating online shows at least three young men hurling eggs at the property from the street during the early hours of Saturday.

Addressing the situation during a press conference, Patullo expressed his commitment to the community. “I’ve been here for five years now, and it’s been incredible,” he stated.

He went on to highlight the unique environment for coaching and playing in Philadelphia, noting, “This place is special. We’ve reached two NFC Championship games, celebrated victories at Lincoln Financial Field, and even won the Super Bowl, followed by an unforgettable parade. It’s truly an amazing atmosphere for both coaches and players.”

He added: ‘As coaches and players, we all know that part of our job is to handle criticism. It’s perfectly acceptable to sit up here and talk about what’s going on, how to fix it, what we’re going to do going forward, and we know that. 

‘But when it involves your family, obviously it crosses the line. So, that happened. At this point, we’ve just gotta move on. We’re trying to win.’ 

Despite inheriting an offense that defeat the Kansas City Chiefs 40-22 in February’s Super Bowl, Patullo has been under heavy scrutiny this season. 

Despite the team’s relatively strong record of 8-4 to sit atop of the NFC East, Philadelphia’s offense has stuttered at times this season. 

And a handful of fans seemingly frustrated with the team’s struggles shockingly took it out on Patullo and his family. 

Initial reports claimed that it was rocks being thrown, but a Moorestown police representative later clarified that it was eggs, with an investigation still ongoing to find the culprits.

It is unclear whether Patullo or his family were at home at the time of the incident, but the Eagles had played a home game just hours earlier.

Last season’s Super Bowl-winning offense was run by Kellen Moore, who left to become head coach of the New Orleans Saints.

In the offseason, Patullo was promoted from passing game coordinator and associate head coach to offensive coordinator.

The group is the highest-paid in the entire NFL, lead by quarterback Jalen Hurts, but ranks 24th in yards, 23rd in passing, 22nd in rushing and 19th in scoring. 

Fans’ fury has continued to rise, seemingly reaching boiling point after the Black Friday loss to their rival Chicago Bears.

Despite the offensive struggles, head coach Nick Sirianni reiterated on Monday that Patullo will retain playcalling duties following a weekend of evaluation.

‘Everything was being evaluated,’ Sirianni said. ‘We’ll think about some things that we want to do all over the place, scheme, everything. But I don’t think it benefits us for me to share, in particular, what that is.

‘Just know this: We want to get this thing fixed more than anybody. We live it, breathe it, involved in it every waking second of our lives. 

‘So that’s what we’re working on right now.’

The Eagles face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football next, and go into the game off the back of two straight defeats. 

They still cling to the top of the NFC East, though, ahead of the Cowboys, Commanders and Giants.
