**Eagles Legend LeSean McCoy Calls for Offensive Coordinator’s Exit**
LeSean McCoy, a Philadelphia Eagles Hall of Famer, has expressed his frustration with the team’s offensive struggles this season, attributing the issues to offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. Despite the Eagles holding an 8-5 record, McCoy believes the team’s performance has been subpar, particularly following their recent 22-19 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, where quarterback Jalen Hurts recorded a career-high five turnovers.
On the “Speakeasy” podcast, McCoy made it clear that if Patullo remains with the team, he would consider distancing himself from the franchise. “If he’s back, I’m leaving the Eagles,” McCoy stated, emphasizing his discontent with the current offensive strategy. He even suggested that if Patullo is not let go, the Eagles should unretire his jersey number, saying, “Let one of the rookies get it.”
The Eagles’ offense has struggled significantly this season, ranking 24th in the NFL for yards per game (309.4) and 22nd in rushing yards (110.5), despite high expectations following their Super Bowl victory. The team has also averaged just 22.2 points per game, relying heavily on their defense to secure wins.
McCoy defended Hurts during the podcast, despite the quarterback’s poor performance against the Chargers, and refrained from criticizing head coach Nick Sirianni. Instead, he placed the blame squarely on Patullo, insisting that changes need to be made for the team to succeed moving forward.
As the Eagles approach the final stretch of the regular season, they remain in playoff contention, currently leading the NFC East. If the playoffs began today, they would secure the No. 3 seed and face the San Francisco 49ers at home.
