For the Eagles, it was a no-brainer to cut ties with Kevin Patullo.

For the Dolphins, it was a no-brainer to hire him.

The Eagles fired Patullo after one year as offensive coordinator and play caller on Jan. 13, two days after the season ended with a disastrous home wild-card loss to the 49ers.

On Feb. 11, new Dolphins coach Jeff Hafley hired Patullo as passing game coordinator to work alongside offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, one of the candidates to replace him with the Eagles.

Hafley spoke about Patullo when he met the media at the Combine Tuesday at the Indiana Convention Center.

“When I interviewed him, I was blown away, the knowledge that he has, the football experience that he has, what he did for that entire organization – don’t forget he won a Super Bowl,” Hafley said. “Behind the scenes, what he did with that offense and with that whole team and listening to him talk and his football knowledge and not just about offense, but about game management, about situational football, I got off the Zoom and I said to Bobby, I said, ‘We’ve got to try to hire this guy.’”

Hafley worked in Green Bay the last two years alongside Sean Mannion, who replaced Patullo. Hafley was Matt LaFLeur’s defensive coordinator and Mannion served as his quarterbacks coach.

In Patullo’s one year as OC, the Eagles ranked in the bottom 10 in every major offensive category. They scored fewer than 20 points nine times, their most games below 20 since 2007.

The season ended with a desultory 23-19 home wild-card loss to a banged-up 49ers team that was a six-point underdog and trailed by a touchdown early in the fourth quarter.

Patullo spent four years with the Eagles as passing game coordinator before becoming offensive coordinator and play caller. Before that, he was with the Chiefs, Bills, Titans, Jets and Colts, where he first worked with Sirianni.

Hafley said it’s not fair to evaluate Patullo solely on the Eagles’ disastrous offensive performance this past season and said Patullo was in demand league-wide after the Eagles dismissed him.

“He had other opportunities and other options,” Hafley said. “I think he’s going to be a huge asset to what we do, and I think often it’s unfair to judge anybody off of one single year.”
