Eagles Bring Back Super Bowl–Winning Coach to Replace Offensive Coordinator Kevin Patullo

The Philadelphia Eagles are reportedly making a stunning move to bring back Doug Pederson, the head coach who led the franchise to its first-ever Super Bowl victory in 2018.
According to ESPN, Pederson was spotted arriving at the Eagles’ training facility on Saturday afternoon, sparking heavy speculation that the team is considering a coaching change following back-to-back losses to the Denver Broncos and New York Giants.
Current offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo has come under intense scrutiny after the Eagles’ offense has failed to find rhythm in recent weeks, scoring just 17 points against both opponents. Sources close to the organization say the front office has begun negotiations with Pederson to potentially bring him back in a key offensive role — or even as an interim head coach if results don’t improve soon.
Pederson, who spent five seasons with Philadelphia (2016–2020), remains one of the most respected figures in team history. His innovative play-calling and leadership helped guide the Eagles to a Super Bowl LII title, defeating Tom Brady and the Patriots in one of the most memorable games in franchise history.
Fans have erupted across social media since the news broke, with many calling the move a “return to glory.” For a struggling offense and a shaken locker room, bringing Pederson back could be exactly the spark the Eagles need to reclaim their identity.
As one fan wrote, “If there’s anyone who can fix this team, it’s the man who already made us champions once.”
