Early life and playing career
A native of Hillsborough Township, New Jersey, Patullo attended Western High School in Davie, Florida. As the school's starting quarterback, he broke his leg in the first game of his senior year.[1] He attended and played college football at the University of South Florida, where he split time at both quarterback and wide receiver.[2]
Coaching career
Early career
Following his playing career, Patullo spent time at his alma mater South Florida and Arizona as a graduate assistant. He also had stints with the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills as an offensive assistant and quality control coach before joining the Tennessee Titans in 2014 as an assistant wide receivers coach.
New York Jets
Patullo was hired to be the quarterbacks coach for the New York Jets for the 2015 season.[3] Considered an unusual hire due to his lack of coaching experience at the time, he was hired as he had previous experience with both Jets offensive coordinator Chan Gailey and starting quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick from his time in Buffalo.[4] He was fired alongside five other assistant coaches on January 3, 2017.[5]
Texas A&M
After his termination from the Jets, Patullo joined the staff at Texas A&M as a senior offensive analyst.[6]
Indianapolis Colts
Patullo was hired as the wide receivers coach for the Indianapolis Colts in 2018.[7] He was reassigned to pass game specialist before the 2020 season following the hire of Mike Groh.[8]
Philadelphia Eagles
On January 24, 2021, Patullo was hired by the Philadelphia Eagles as their passing game coordinator under head coach Nick Sirianni.[9] He was part of the coaching staff that won Super Bowl LIX over the Kansas City Chiefs.[10]
On February 19, 2025, Patullo was promoted to offensive coordinator, replacing Kellen Moore who departed to become head coach of the New Orleans Saints.[11] Patullo's play calling was criticized throughout the 2025 season, with pundits and players calling Patullo's offense uninspiring and very predictable with his high usage rate of hitch routes and inside zone, lack of motion and reluctance of using mesh routes to scheme players open.[12][13][14]
Following their loss in the Wild Card round at home, on January 13, 2026, Patullo and the Eagles parted ways.[15]
Miami Dolphins
On February 13, 2026, Patullo was hired by the Miami Dolphins to serve as the team's passing game coordinator under head coach Jeff Hafley.[16]
Personal life
Patullo is married to his wife, Nichole and they have two children together: a daughter, Lauren, and a son, Logan.[17]
Following the Eagles' 24–15 loss to the Chicago Bears on November 28, 2025, Patullo's residence in Moorestown, New Jersey was vandalized and egged by several Eagles fans. Patullo criticized the incident, saying that it "crossed the line."[18][19]
