The Philadelphia Eagles are a poorly coached team right now, plain and simple. After another game where they seemingly quit, head coach Nick Sirianni’s seat is blazing. You gotta wonder how long Jeffrey Lurie can let this go on.
Two Weeks, Zero Effort: The Culture Is Tanking
Seriously, for the second straight week, this team flat out quit. We saw it clear as day against the Washington Commanders. Remember that 25-10 game? The Commanders went for two points, trying to get up three scores with barely any time left, and our guys, especially the defensive line, didn’t even try to stop Austin Ekeler from walking into the end zone. Didn’t even try! Last week, Sirianni tried to protect his players, saying he didn’t see an effort issue after the Cowboys game. But the film doesn’t lie, and the film for the Commanders game screams a culture problem. When your team checks out like that, it’s a terrible look for a coach who prides himself on culture.
Lurie’s Looking for a Rebirth, Sirianni’s Running Out of Time
Owner Jeffrey Lurie has been down this road before, haven’t we? Firing coaches after lost seasons is kind of his thing, especially after 2012, 2015, and 2020. Each time, it led to a “rebirth” for the team. And get this: Lurie apparently considered axing Sirianni after the 2023 season and even during the 2024 bye week. He’s not afraid to make a move. Sirianni’s allowed some influence on his hires, like bringing in Sean Mannion and his scheme. It’s tough to think Lurie and Roseman didn’t have a say there. But Sirianni’s still sticking by Mannion and his assistants, even as the team spirals.
Sirianni has nine games left. Nine games to turn this entire season around and prove he’s the guy. If he can’t, it’s hard to imagine him coming back in 2027. We’ve seen this movie before, and it usually ends with a new face at the top. Can he pull off a miracle, or is it another “rebirth” coming soon?
