f.Eagles Announce Reunion With Former Super Bowl HC For Offensive Coordinator Role — Perfect Replacement For Kevin Patullo.f

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.

The heartbeat of San Francisco doesn’t only echo inside Levi’s Stadium. It now flows through neighborhoods, streets, and families in need — because one of the city’s star players has decided his NFL salary must mean more than touchdowns. Over the past year, 49ers tight end George Kittle has quietly funded and built 10 community clinics across underserved areas of San Francisco. These centers are designed to provide affordable, often free healthcare for children and families who have long struggled to access consistent medical support. This isn’t about endorsements or headlines. It’s a story of vision — a veteran player using his platform to connect directly with the people who cheer his name. “I never wanted my career to be only about catches or yards,” Kittle said. “If football gives me the chance to make life healthier and safer for families here, then I’ve done something real.”

And then came the words that carried even deeper weight: “San Francisco gave me everything — a jersey, a city, and a family. I didn’t do this for attention, I did it because I believe every player should give something back. Our salaries don’t come from the club, they come from the fans. Without the fans, there is no team.”

The timing couldn’t be more meaningful. San Francisco has faced long-standing challenges in affordable healthcare, and now one of its own is investing back into the future of its people. Local leaders estimate these clinics will serve thousands of families each year, from routine checkups to preventive care. Fans already admired Kittle for his explosive potential and dedication on the field. Now, they see him as something greater: a symbol of responsibility and heart. “This isn’t charity — this is commitment,” one San Francisco resident said at a ribbon-cutting ceremony. “He’s proving you can wear the jersey and still belong to the community.”

For the 49ers, it underscores the culture Kyle Shanahan has cultivated — toughness on the field, compassion off it. Kittle embodies both. Every reception he makes now carries the weight of families who know he has their back long after the game ends.

San Francisco has its tight end. The city has its hometown hero. And thanks to 10 new clinics, countless families now have their lifeline. As Kittle continues his off-field impact, fans are also eagerly awaiting his on-field return around Week 7, following a season-starting injury that sidelined him early in the year.
