Matt Patricia, the Eagles’ senior defensive assistant coach, has shed some weight since his stints with the Lions and Patriots. Patricia may be under a lot of stress because his career is at stake. Patricia was signed by the Eagles last year to improve their defense, and his weight has long been a source of amusement for NFL fans. Patricia put on a lot of weight while coaching the Lions, and he couldn’t shed it while with the Patriots.
Several NFL coaches over the years have talked about losing weight by adopting a better diet. Rex Ryan and Jay Gruden, two former NFL coaches, discussed their weight loss journeys. Patricia has come under fire following the Eagles’ devastating season-ending loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Several reviewers called Patricia’s promotion to acting actress an extremely vicious act. So, will Patricia stay in Philadelphia next season? Most Eagles fans will respond, “I hope not!”
Matt Patricia Weight Loss: Did Eagles Coach Cut Calories?
In 2020, NFL coach Matt Patricia’s weight gain over the summer has been discussed by many NFL fans. At the time, Patricia was the head coach of the Detroit Lions. The NFL coach’s weight gain may have been due to his Achilles ailment. Matt was unable to put weight on his leg or move without mechanical assistance due to his injuries. The former Detroit Lions head coach rode an ATV and even used a golf cart for a spell. When asked about his health, Patricia said: “We’re still taking it day by day, but we’re making some improvements.
I guess I had about four different casts. “This is a walking boot, but right now I’m still in the same mode.”

Matt’s weight increased over the years. On X (formerly Twitter), NFL fans mocked the coach’s weight, with one user saying,
“My whole family makes fun of Matt Patricia’s weight…. wouldn’t you stress eat if you were the head coach of the Lions???”
However, based on recent appearances in the news, it appears the Eagles coach may have shed some unnecessary body fat. The senior defensive assistant could finally decide to go the healthy route. Several fans have questioned how a player can stay motivated and disciplined if his coach is neither.
Over a decade ago, Bleacher Report published an article questioning whether plus-size coaches lead to plus-size success. If Mike McCarthy could lead his club to NFL greatness, Wade Phillips was unable to bring the Cowboys close to a championship. So you can’t eat your way to success.

It may be too early to question Matt Patricia’s weight loss secret. However, several football coaches have revealed their weight loss strategies. Last year, Deion Sanders, “Coach Prime,” who is older than Matt but looks younger, said he values a healthy lifestyle. Sanders described his schedule as getting up at 5 a.m. to go to the gym, followed by a handful of almonds. Then he eats a banana-strawberry smoothie and grits for breakfast, which gives him energy for his morning workout.
Trainer Prime said he tries to consume enough protein and vegetables while avoiding fried foods and sugar. Rex Ryan, former coach of the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills, used to weigh over 350 pounds. He shed more than 100 pounds after lap-band surgery, but gained most of it back after the band was removed in 2016. However, in 2018, the former NFL coach said he lost the weight to compete on The Amazing Race. Ryan lost 50 pounds in a month and a half by eating more protein and vegetables and limiting snacks.

Rex also said he cut back on soda and started exercising more consistently. The Super Bowl-winning coach also said he only indulged in Mexican cuisine once a week, which he enjoyed. Former Washington Commanders coach Jay Gruden also detailed his weight loss story, revealing that he ballooned to over 250 pounds before losing 30 pounds over the summer of 2018.
