“This season was no different. Extremely disappointing ending to the season, the last five, six games. Extremely disappointing to me, very frustrating for all of us.” The Philadelphia Eagles owner, Jeff Lurie made his concluding statements this offseason after his team couldn’t make it to the 2024 Super Bowl. However, he still decided to give his team and the coach another chance. But many Philly fans continued to hate Nick Sirianni, which was also recently seen in their Cleveland game.

As a result, Sirianni melted at the sidelines of the Lincoln Financial Field, when the restless fans booed at him, yelling “Fire Nick!” chants. Now, although he has apologized for the same, one thing is clear: the trouble for Nick Sirianni hasn’t faded yet. Explaining his point on The Herd with Colin Cowherd show, senior NFL reporter Albert Breer, discussed the high-pressure environment for the HC.

On one side, Cowherd mentioned that Nick Sirianni got into trouble after yelling at fans, on the other, Breer added the Eagles made big changes by replacing both of HC’s coordinators. And this could be a warning sign by owner Jeff Lurie for the coach.

The NFL insider doubted Sirianni’s future with the franchise by adding to the host’s remarks, “Then you replace the coordinators and that to me is always a bad sign. When they’re bringing in coordinators (Vic Fangio & Kellen Moore)…..but neither of those guys had connections to Nick Sirianni….(as) they replaced both his coordinators, they bring in guys from the outside who he doesn’t have background with. It’s just if it doesn’t go right then who’s left to pay for it.”

Hence, as per Breer, Sirianni is left alone to end up taking all the blame. That’s the reason why, Breer and Cowherd both agreed that Philadelphia is a tough market to coach in. The reason? Well, in short, it’s because of the intense media and fan scrutiny. To support his statement, Breer also compared it to other high-pressure environments of the different teams, besides pointing out how previous Eagles’ coaches were let go despite success.

The Eagles parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson after five seasons that saw him win the 2018 Super Bowl and then lose in the playoffs the next two years with 9-7 records. Sirianni was one of seven head coaches hired after the 2020 season. Hence, they feel coaching the Eagles is one of the hardest jobs in the NFL. That became even harder with the Eagles’ disastrous run toward the end of the 2023 season.

After going into the Super Bowl as NFC champions in the 2022 season, the Eagles won 10 of their first 11 games in the 2023 campaign. But then they triumphed in only one more game, finished the regular season at 11-6, and bowed out in the first round of the playoffs with a 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So a thorough change was imminent. And in those changes, it seems the Eagles tried to bring in established coaches rather than experimenting with relatively inexperienced coordinators and position coaches. Take a look at these.

• Sean Desai was in his second year as an NFL defensive coordinator. Vic Fangio is in his 24th.
• Brian Johnson was in his first year as an NFL offensive coordinator. Kellen Moore is in his sixth.
• Alex Tanney was in his first year as a quarterbacks coach. Doug Nussmeier is in his seventh.
• D.K. McDonald was in his first year as an NFL secondary coach. Christian Parker and Joe Kasper are in their fourth.
• Tracy Rocker had coached four years in the NFL before he got here. Clintt Hurtt has 10 years on his resume, two of them as a defensive coordinator.

Another astonishing proof of the lack of experience in the 2023 coaching staff is that none of the Eagles’ 2023 coaching staff got a promotion and most had to take lesser jobs. DeSai and Patricia haven’t gotten hired anywhere and Johnson took a demotion in Washington. McDonald took a college job, Tanney was hired by the Colts, although not as quarterbacks coach. Rocker took a lateral job with the Titans. But despite all the changes, Eagles’ problems do not look be ending and above everyone else, Sirianni is under the pressure of overturning the picture. Probably that’s why Nick Sirianni lost his nerve on the sidelines after listening to continuous boos for him.

Nick Sirianni apologized for his mistake!

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni recently found himself in hot water that he wished he could take back. During their narrow win against the Browns, frustrated Sirianni let his emotions get the best of him. However, later in a press conference, he admitted that he messed up. The head coach explained that his excitement over the win had misdirected his energy.

The 43-year-old expressed, “My energy should be all in on coaching, motivating, and celebrating with our guys. I have to have better wisdom and discernment of when to use that energy and that wasn’t the time.”

Sirianni knows Philly fans are intense. He called them the best in the world, showing up no matter where the team plays. But in a city like Philadelphia, with its demanding fanbase and relentless media, he understands the stakes are high, hence, his every action was under the microscope. However, this was not the first time Sirianni accepted his failure.

After Eagles’ game against the Buccaneers, where they lost 33-16, the Philly fans were understandably fired up. Many wanted coach Nick Sirianni out, as some analysts, like Dan Orlovsky called him out saying, “This is a poorly coached football team.” Amid all the allegations, Sirianni took all the blame on him.

“I felt like we didn’t coach well enough and we didn’t play well enough, and that’s always going to start with me. If we go out there, lay an egg and we’re down 24-0 (in the second quarter), that’s going to start on me. I didn’t have the guys ready to start,” Sirianni had said. For context, Midway through the second quarter, via NBC Philadelphia, the Bucs led 24-0 and had outgained the Eagles 255-0. Worse is, they gave up three touchdowns, and a field goal on the first four defensive drives, or gained zero yards on the first three offensive drives. Both indeed fall badly on the coach.

Nevertheless, Nick Sirianni has the habit of outbursts at high-pressure moments. Therefore, he might try to suppress them, and stay focused. Not just on the field, but off it too!
