WATCH: LeSean McCoy says he wants out of the Eagles Hall Of Fame if Mr. Lurie brings back Kevin Patullo

LeSean McCoy is one of my favorite Eagles ever and one of the most brutally honest voices in football media. The man does not hold back. On his show Speakeasy, Shady lit up the fanbase when he said that if the Eagles do not fire offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo, he wants his name removed from the Eagles Hall of Fame.

Let us be very clear. I highly doubt LeSean McCoy was being one hundred percent serious. There is no universe where you can fire your offensive coordinator with four weeks left in the regular season.

I also highly doubt Kevin Patullo will be back next year unless the Birds somehow repeat as Super Bowl champions. That said, I absolutely appreciate the sentiment. Speak your mind. As the old saying goes, stand for something or fall for everything.

LeSean McCoy on Kevin Patullo

Most of the discourse this week has been exhausted on Jalen Hurts. Fans, media, and every loud uncle at every bar have spent days breaking down his four interception meltdown on Monday night.

One of those picks bounced off AJ Brown’s hands, the others were flat out bad, and the fumble was its own disaster but pretending the quarterback is the only issue is lazy.

McCoy is right to look beyond Hurts. We have seen this movie before. The Eagles lose their offensive coordinator, the offense falls apart, and suddenly the team cannot function in high leverage moments. It happened after losing Frank Reich. It is happening again after losing Kellen Moore.

For all the good that Nick Sirianni brings as a head coach, his track record hiring and promoting offensive coordinators is rough. Patullo has not adapted, has not schemed to his personnel, and has not found any rhythm with his franchise quarterback.

While everyone is furious about the Eagles losing three straight games, I actually thought the offense moved the ball well against the Chargers outside of the turnovers.

They ran it effectively. They created explosive plays. They sustained drives. They just threw the ball to the wrong team over and over again. That falls on Hurts, but it does not erase the larger structural problems that McCoy is pointing at.

Patullo’s offense lacks balance. It lacks creativity. It puts too much on Hurts’s shoulders and asks him to be perfect in a system that is not helping him. Shady is calling out the failure at the top of the offensive operation, and he is not wrong.

Shady Is Right

There is no midseason firing coming. That is not how the NFL works, especially for a team that is still 8–5 and leading the division. But next year is another story.

I fully expect Howie Roseman and Jeffrey Lurie to have their fingerprints all over the next offensive coordinator hire. They know it has to be better. They know this offense cannot waste another year of Jalen Hurts’s prime.

So thanks to LeSean McCoy for breaking through the noise and saying what a lot of fans are thinking. Even if he was exaggerating, he is tapping into something real.

The offense needs leadership, structure, and a fresh set of ideas. And if Shady wants to plant the flag on that hill, I am all for it.
