Philadelphia Eagles Nick Sirianni. The Philadelphia Eagles have hired Parks Frazier as their new passing game coordinator, a relatively unknown figure who replaces Kevin Patullo, who was recently promoted to offensive coordinator.
During the NFL Scouting Combine, head coach Nick Sirianni discussed the decisions to promote Patullo and bring in Frazier. Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel, who worked with Frazier last season, also shared his thoughts. Frazier spent just one year in Miami as an offensive assistant under McDaniel.
“I have a very strong relationship with Parks,” McDaniel said. “He did a great job for us and deserved more responsibility. I think he’s in a great spot, given his connection with Coach Sirianni. He was a key part of our quarterbacks room, assisting Coach Darrell Bevell, and I expect him to keep growing in his career.”
At just 33 years old, Frazier already has a long-standing relationship with Sirianni, dating back to their time together with the Indianapolis Colts.
“Parks started with us in Indianapolis, then followed Frank Reich to Carolina as the passing game coordinator in 2023, and most recently spent time with Mike McDaniel in Miami,” Sirianni explained. “He’s incredibly hungry to keep improving, and we’re excited to have him. He’ll bring a lot to our offense, our scheme, and our player development.”
Sirianni praised Frazier’s rapid rise in coaching, crediting his work ethic, football IQ, ability to teach fundamentals, and contributions to offensive schemes.
Patullo was promoted after Kellen Moore left his offensive coordinator role to become the head coach of the New Orleans Saints. Sirianni emphasized that the Eagles conducted a thorough search before choosing Patullo, with continuity playing a major factor—especially for key players like Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, and the offensive line.
“Continuity is crucial,” Sirianni said. “We had someone in-house who was more than ready to take on the job. When I look at successful organizations, they promote from within when they have the right person for the role. Kevin is more than prepared, and we’re excited for him.”
The Eagles are still searching for a quarterbacks coach to replace Doug Nussmeier, who joined Moore in New Orleans as the offensive coordinator.

There has been much speculation about whether the Philadelphia Eagles would accept an invitation to the White House from President Donald Trump after winning Super Bowl LIX. However, NBA legend and broadcaster Charles Barkley believes they should attend.
While Trump extended an official invitation last week, the Eagles have yet to publicly announce their decision. Barkley, however, seems frustrated by the idea of players skipping the visit altogether.
On the latest episode of The Steam Room podcast with Ernie Johnson, Barkley strongly criticized the trend of athletes refusing to visit the White House.
“I don’t care who the president is,” Barkley said, as quoted by Brandon Contes of Awful Announcing. “He’s the President of the United States. It bothers me that over the past 10 years, players have been saying, ‘I’m not going because I don’t like who’s in office.’ Dude, it’s the President of the United States.”
Barkley added that, despite disagreements with Trump, he would still show respect for the office.
“Even though I disagree with President Trump on some things, if I met him, I would still give him the respect and dignity he deserves. We can disagree, but I’m disappointed that teams refuse to visit the White House. We’ve become so divided. When did we decide, ‘We’re not going to the White House because we don’t like who’s there’? That’s just stupid.”
Before the Super Bowl, The Daily Mail reported that the Eagles planned to decline an invitation if they won, though other sources have since disputed that claim.
If the Eagles do reject the offer, it wouldn’t be the first time. After winning the 2018 Super Bowl during Trump’s first term, several Eagles players refused to attend due to Trump’s remarks on athletes protesting police brutality and racial injustice during the national anthem. When it became clear that many players were skipping the visit, Trump ultimately withdrew the invitation.
