HC Nick Sirianni, PHI (3 Viewers)

The results of this year will determine his fate. Missed playoffs or first round exit and he's gone. The team vibe has been broken since the SF game last year. He's never been able to recover and adapt. Players still like him but that will wear thin if they aren't winning.
 
He's down All Pro WR and another Pro Bowl level WR so the offense isn't flowing like it should be which puts a lot of stress on his defense
That defense is being run by Vic Fangio and the game has passed him by
It's possible Fangs was always overrated
 
Thoughts?


Eagles last 11 games:
Record: 3-8
PTS scored: 218
PTS allowed: 310
Point differential: -92

Eagles final 11 games under Doug Pederson:
Record: 3-8
PTS scored: 221
PTS allowed: 273
Point differential: -52

Can anyone give me a good reason for Nick Sirianni keeping his job?

My opinion on that:

Firstly, I don't think Pederson should have been fired.
5 seasons
3 playoff appearances
2 division titles
4 playoff wins
1 conference championship
1 Super Bowl title
Overall 7 games over .500 including playoffs (not great but pretty good)

Has one bad season and he's gone?

Secondly, though it is a bad sign what the Eagles have done in their last 11 games, that may be cherry-picking, as Sirianni's results are probably more impressive than Pederson's.
3 seasons
3 playoff appearances
1 division title
2 playoff wins
1 conference championship
16 games over .500 including playoffs (very good)
.633 win rate including playoffs

You can say he's 3 for his last 11 ... But last years final record was 11-6 (and a playoff one-and-done), and this year they are 2-2. People are pulling fire alarms with these results? Really?
 
The biggest takeaway from Jalen Hurts’ presser yesterday was his answer when asked about whether he and Nick were discussing what went wrong. He answered: “We have our moments”.

Imagine somebody asks you how things are going with your wife. ‘We have our moments’ means you’re sleeping on the couch.

Bottom line is if Nick has lost the locker room, he should be fired today. And guaranteed, Lurie and Howie are talking to players and people in the org to see if that’s the case.

The personnel isn’t great. The coaching staff isn’t getting the personnel to live up to their potential. The situation of having a Head Coach that had his teeth pulled in the offseason by hiring outside coordinators is Lurie/Howie’s mess.

Wait till you find out Siriani coached his top two WRs to get injured, and told his entire D-line to stop rushing the passer.

Then you'll get on board, buddy

Very good but it should be noted they started off 10-1, it's been more than a little downhill from that point and it doesn't seem to be getting any better

The 2020 Eagles were a dumpster fire, and the same HC-OC combo is a dumpster fire in Jacksonville this year.
 
I’ll repost here what i said in the Eagles thread:

This is kind of playing out like Doug.

Lurie hires guy who wasn't high on the HC candidate pecking order because he won't object to front office control.

Year 1, exceeds expectations.

Year 2, goes to Super Bowl.

Year 3, coordinator(s) leave and team regresses but still makes playoffs.

Year 4, regression continues and it appears Super Bowl season was an outlier for coach and QB.

For Doug, the bottom fell out in year 5 and he was fired at the end of it (and the QB was replaced). Since he didn't win his Super Bowl, does Nick even get to year 5 if the team plays more games like today's?

ETA: Luckily it did not happen this way!

Peterson didn't have "just 1 bad season". He had 3 mediocre seasons following the super bowl and was insistent on hiring bad coaches for his OC. That loyalty to his guy is why he got fired. He's now got that guy as his OC in Jax and he's showing why he was a bad OC. Conbine that with Wentz declining due to injury and it was over for him.

Nick has been more amenable to change and that's why he didn't get fired last year but if they still look lost by the end of this season, he's gone.

I'm a Bengals fan, so if you make the playoffs, it is an awesome season.

I get it. But how many years were "awesome" with Marvin Lewis?
 
I think the next 4 games will see if he finishes thew season or is a midseason fire.
They have The Browns,Giants,Bengals and Jags. He made to win all four.
 
This is kind of playing out like Doug.

Lurie hires guy who wasn't high on the HC candidate pecking order because he won't object to front office control.

Thanks. How mainstream is this opinion?
Here in Philly its a foregone conclusion. Doug was zipped when he pushed back on Howie and Jeff wanting to replace his coordinators. Nick knows what his role is here.

Give up play calling duties almost immediately even though you were supposed to be a playcalling HC? Done
Bring in pencil-boy to be a "defensive consultant" and then fire your DC after one loss only to replace him with pencil boy? Done
Hire two coordinators that were handed to you and basically relegate yourself to "CEO" head coach (whatever the **** that means)? Done

I think he actually has the respect of his players-if you listen to them on the local shows, they truly seem willing to run through a wall for the guy. I thought he should have been fired at the end of last year's abortion of a season. I think he should be fired now. If they continue to spiral (like if they lose after the bye week) he'll be gone. Jeff has not been afraid to zip guys as soon as he felt their time was up- I'm looking at you Chip.

Belicheck 2.0 era beginning soon.

Belichick has been tagged to the entire NFC East sans Washington.
That means if he coaches next year it'll be in Jacksonville

lol, maybe. Its been said in the past that Lurie modeled his brand of ownership and the franchise after the Patriots. Under normal circumstances I don't think BB would come here with the heavy handed oversight that comes down from Lurie and Howie. But he just wants the Wins record. He can rip off 15 or 16 wins or whatever he needs to get the record, over the next two years with this team, no doubt.
 
Eagles are one (EASY!) dropped pass from 3-1, and this conversation doesn't even start. There are warts, but it seems premature to even be talking about it. Finish with 7 wins and look like that team in TB yesterday through much of it, and maybe it happens. Lurie isn't THAT quick to make changes, especially if the guy still seems to have the support of the players, which Nick does

I agree, he isn't THAT quick, but this ****show has been a long time in the making. I mean, the collapse last year after going 10-1 was the stuff of legends. And not for nothing, but if Fangio's defense doesn't play damn near lights out weeks 1 and 3, we're 0-4 just as easily.

Heck using that talking point the Giants are a rostered kicker and dropped pass away from being 3-1

Thanks. I think that's really interesting for two reasons.

The "hire a coach that will do what the front office says" is one of the biggest complaints I hear about Dallas. Yet Lurie seems to skate on this. Maybe a Super Bowl changes that.

The last guy I can think of that would be a "do what the front office says" coach is Bill Belichick who I keep hearing there.

Will be fascinating to see.
 
Nick Sirianni "the TV show" is better than Nick Sirianni "HC Eagles" IMO. He seems to be really good at being an entertaining personality on the sidelines or in the news cycle, but as far as being a HC in the NFL... I'm not impressed. I have no skin in the game - I'm neither a Philly fan or hater - but it makes my skin crawl how easily he passes up FGs to be the "aggressive analytics-loving dude" in going for every 4th & ???... I hate the "tush push" and I get the feeling his QB hates it even more... and I thought he should have fired his security goon/consigliere after he put hands on an opposing player in an NFL game.

It seemed like the team quit on him last season (epic crash and burn down the stretch). Maybe they were reenergized by their GM bringing Barkley in, but it is starting to stink like 2023 again. Let's face it, they're one bad decision by the Saints DC from being 1-3.

I think he actually has the respect of his players-if you listen to them on the local shows, they truly seem willing to run through a wall for the guy. I thought he should have been fired at the end of last year's abortion of a season. I think he should be fired now. If they continue to spiral (like if they lose after the bye week) he'll be gone. Jeff has not been afraid to zip guys as soon as he felt their time was up- I'm looking at you Chip.

Belicheck 2.0 era beginning soon.
You believe they will hire Coach BB?
I think the following:

Nick could be clipped this week but probably won't be. However, if they come out against Cleveland like they did against TB and suffer another embarrassing loss, with Nick making dumb decisions IN SPITE of the analytics then I think he'll be gone.

I think the interim HC would be Kellen Moore. Maybe he shows out and secures the job, but I'm honestly not super impressed with him so far. My money would be he doesn't right the ship enough to get the job for real.

I think that in that above scenario, which is very very plausible, yes, Lurie would hire BB. The caveat I keep hearing is that BB would want to go somewhere he could have total control. I just don't buy it. I don't think he wants to build a team from scratch. I think he wants to step into a great situation, spend a couple of seasons stacking the necessary wins to get the record, then leave. Philly would obviously provide that.
 
This is kind of playing out like Doug.

Lurie hires guy who wasn't high on the HC candidate pecking order because he won't object to front office control.

Thanks. How mainstream is this opinion?
Here in Philly its a foregone conclusion. Doug was zipped when he pushed back on Howie and Jeff wanting to replace his coordinators. Nick knows what his role is here.

Give up play calling duties almost immediately even though you were supposed to be a playcalling HC? Done

Thanks. I think that's really interesting for two reasons.

The "hire a coach that will do what the front office says" is one of the biggest complaints I hear about Dallas. Yet Lurie seems to skate on this. Maybe a Super Bowl changes that.

The last guy I can think of that would be a "do what the front office says" coach is Bill Belichick who I keep hearing there.

Will be fascinating to see.
The Jerry Jones and Al Davis types get flack because they VISIBLY meddle. They want everyone to know that they are the head honcho and football genius and all of that.

Lurie meddles behind the scenes. We know this from decades of reporting and scuttlebutt. He imposes his will, but he doesn’t cultivate a blowhard persona and he does let Roseman and team president Don Smolenski have a say. He doesn’t make this side of himself public, so it doesn’t get played up in the national media.

So between his mellower public persona and his recent SB, he gets a pass.
 
Where's the Todd Bowles thread? He's 9-3 in his last 12 games. Kind of over the narrative always being how bad the other team that just got their butts kicked is instead of how good the Bucs might actually be.

Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni have been Todd Bowles' bitches for four years running-going back to Jalen's infamous first playoff game where the DC on TB's side was mic'd up laughing and saying Hurts couldn't read defenses.
He looked lost in that one. Great year in 2022 and then lost Steichen. He's working wonders with the Colts so I do think we know who the mastermind of that 2022 run was.
 
Nick Sirianni "the TV show" is better than Nick Sirianni "HC Eagles" IMO. He seems to be really good at being an entertaining personality on the sidelines or in the news cycle, but as far as being a HC in the NFL... I'm not impressed. I have no skin in the game - I'm neither a Philly fan or hater - but it makes my skin crawl how easily he passes up FGs to be the "aggressive analytics-loving dude" in going for every 4th & ???... I hate the "tush push" and I get the feeling his QB hates it even more... and I thought he should have fired his security goon/consigliere after he put hands on an opposing player in an NFL game.

It seemed like the team quit on him last season (epic crash and burn down the stretch). Maybe they were reenergized by their GM bringing Barkley in, but it is starting to stink like 2023 again. Let's face it, they're one bad decision by the Saints DC from being 1-3.

Feel free to create one if there isn't one. Please use the same format as this one.
It's fine. The Bucs are used to being the afterthought. Beat the Commanders. Well, that's only because it is was Jayden's first game. Beat the Lions. Well, that's a fluke they got out-gained by X number of yards. Beat the Eagles. Well, they've got a coaching problem and didn't have their receivers. What's wrong in Philly?! Instead of, what's right in Tampa Bay? It's just a thing.

And, nobody will want to talk about Todd Bowles. That was my point! :lol:
 
I don't think firing Siriani is on the menu, really.

There's a bunch of teams sliding around out there, finding their footing. Hurts is 68% for the season, throwing to Dallas Goedert and......some guys, was sacked 10 times in week 1/2, and they just put up 34 points on a really good defense.

Talk radio fodder.

We can play that game. They're two bad decisions (going for it on 4th and 1 in FG range twice and not getting it) against Atlanta from being 3-1. If they make just one of those chip shot FGs, they win the game.

That's not the same game...

Sirianni is responsible (100%) in your example. Fell in s*** and came out clean in the NOS coaching blunder.

It's the exact same game...coaching decisions.

Two different coaches though, on two different teams. This is the Sirianni thread.
 
I was never impressed, seemed like a placeholder from the day he was hired. They wouldn’t lose much if he got the boot.

It's fine. The Bucs are used to being the afterthought. Beat the Commanders. Well, that's only because it is was Jayden's first game. Beat the Lions. Well, that's a fluke they got out-gained by X number of yards. Beat the Eagles. Well, they've got a coaching problem and didn't have their receivers. What's wrong in Philly?! Instead of, what's right in Tampa Bay? It's just a thing.

And, nobody will want to talk about Todd Bowles. That was my point! :lol:

I don't know. Bowles seems on the other end of the personality spectrum from Sirianni but they're a great story.

We're just such a reactionary society. I'm watching "Get Up" on ESPN and the narrative this morning is how the Lions are clearly the best team in the NFC. The next story is what's wrong with the Eagles and how can they fix it? Greenberg says something like, "I know, Tampa, but..." and then they move on to the narrative they want to talk about. :shrug:

It's just a little annoying for the smaller markets to be continuously ignored. I get that Tampa laid an egg against Denver, but they've beaten 3 NFC contenders, they blew two of them out, and went toe to toe with the favorite in the NFC on their field. This all without Winfield, Kancey, and their starting RT. Nobody mentions the injuries Tampa is winning in spite of though.

What are you talking about? Tampa making lots of headlines this week with Baker's comments about "Things were really intense when Tom Brady was here"

Agreed. I am interested in Bowles' movement. :ponder:
