[Russini] Both Eagles GM Howie Roseman and HC Nick Sirianni have been reaching out to available NFL coaches and coordinators, as well as coaching agents across the league to evaluate potential candidates to join their coaching staff as they plan for the 2024 season.

End me
they can reach out to whoever they want. unless they completely overhaul the offensive and defensive schemes, it isnt going to matter who they hire
this implies they’re keeping Nick which is INSANE
how many more times do we need to see an OC get poached after 1 good season before we hire a HC who can actually coach an offense? we don’t need a vibes guy
I’m sick to my stomach
Butt Lick Nick survived. There goes another year of AJ Brown’s prime, along with a host of others.
Anyone who didn’t think they’d give him a chance to overhaul his staff was deluding themselves. Doesn’t mean they’re keeping him necessarily, just that they’re going to give him a shot to get guys in who they feel are good fits. If he can’t, he’s probably gone.
This franchise is fucking toast. Howie and Lurie care more about having a spineless, controllable puppet at head coach than anything.
Looking forward to going 9-8, losing as the 7th seed in the wildcard round, firing Nick, then hiring the Saints QB coach or some shit to replace him because we missed out on a generational coaching pool this offseason.
Lurie is loyal to a fault at times. This is a big mistake.
Oh this comment section is about to be good
Let’s look at this from a rational business sense. If the Eagles fire Sirianni, do you want to replace him with a top tier coaching candidate? If yes, does a top tier coaching candidate want to coach for a team that will turn on them at the first sign of adversity?
Our roster is aging. We have many key players that may regress or retire. There are risks to coaching this team, as roster-wise we’re probably not looking better on paper going into next season.
If we give an entire year to Nick, it shows we allow coaches times to answer adversity.
What does Nick even add? The players quit on him the last couple weeks and he obviously doesn’t even have his own offensive scheme
All these good FUCKING COACHES AVAILABLE AND THEY WANNA KEEP THIS DUDE BECAUSE HES A YES MAN. This is why you have one super bowl in like 30 years Lurie
LMAOOO
Good luck finding a competent coordinator that’s willing to get thrown under the bus when this team looks like crap again next season and Jalen continues to regress, what an organizational disaster.
And if the coordinator does do well, we’ll be in this perpetual cycle of Jalen and this team having to learn a new offense every two years when they get poached.
The biggest problem I see with Sirianni is how can you trust him to adjust when things aren’t working and he doesn’t have an elite OC on staff. We just saw every team exploit the weaknesses in our offensive scheme over and over again over the last 7 games and he changed absolutely nothing. This is beyond infuriating and I won’t even give this team my time if this clown is back next year.
Wake me up in 2025
Maybe it’s a race. Howie reached out to Vrabel and Nick reached out to whoever will listen to him. Whoever wins gets to keep the HC position (Vrabel or whoever Nick gets ahold of).
What’s the best scenario here? These coordinators do a great job and leave then we’re back to square one?
People can grow. Coaches get in bad spots. Scorched Earth feels good in the moment, until you remember Adam Gase and Ben MacAdoo were supposedly great play callers and ran awesome offenses. That isn’t saying Ben Johnson and Bobbly Slowik are, only that, we just don’t know what can happen.
I don’t know if Nick Sirniani can grow. Learn. Adapt. Much like I don’t know what a team ran by Ben Johnson looks like. For our sake, if Nick is back, I hope it was a very, very strong learning experience and that he grows. All we can do, right?
Doomers out in force today.
This option was always on the table and absolutely isn’t the end of the world. This was still Nick’s offense last year and everyone loved it. He did fumble the bag a little but deciding not to update and not picking good coordinators it but that doesn’t mean the guy is a complete bum.
BJ on the other hand, and Patricia? Absolutely both bums,
Even this doesn’t mean he stays. Giving him the chance to sort his shit out doesn’t mean he’ll be able to.
Probably unpopular, but I like Nick.
I just think Desai, Patricia, and Johnson fucking suck. I think Nick chose poorly.
But coordinators are very important to the success of your team, and I feel like he should get a chance to pick up some new ones.
Dude had success with Steichen. Clay is solid.
Also potentially unpopular, Howie has to take some blame here for shit LBs.
Nick’s going to have a shorter leash, and he should, but I’m fine with this.
Nick: Howie… why is my name on the list?
Why would anyone wanna coach with this guy after the whole country and every TV analyst laughed at his offense like it’s a joke?
Strong one-and-done potential if you come to coach under Nick
Yup he’s staying. This is exactly what I had feared. I cannot believe there’s actually people who could watch these games and agree with this decision.
Given the talent this team had this was easily one of the worst coaching jobs I have ever seen, not just in NFL history, but sports overall. I don’t care who we get for OC or DC, with this guy leading this team nothing will change. Not only that but what free agent in their right minds would wanna come here and play this clown? BTW WTF does this bozo even do at this point!?
Un-fucking-believable.
The fucking Colts are gonna poach our guys again lol
we’re in a perfect position to hire someone great. Vrabel if you want a defensive oriented guy, Ben Johnson if you’re thinking offense.
Sirianni is best suited as a position coach. He has no idea how to run an offensive game plan. It’s been proven.
Holy fuck, we’re keeping the guy that crashed the plane into the mountain. I don’t care what he did in the past. This season collapse was malpractice.
It was the OC towards the beginning of the season and everybody saw that. The failure to adjust or make any changes at HC is just stupid. Nick has no idea what hes doing and is limited to the strength of the OC and DC.
I’ve always been overly patient with coaches. Didn’t want to get rid of Andy. Or Doug. Even thought it was questionable to get rid of Chip so soon, at the time.
But I can’t really stomach the thought of another season like this one.
What reason is there to bring Nick back? It’s the final year of his contract, and with good ‘one-and-done’ potential it likely limits the candidates who’d want to come here to coach for a lame duck. Not to mention that Nick’s scheme has been relentlessly mocked now from all corners of the NFL world. Jay fucking Gurden even piped up.
I get that he had two good years before this. But his scheme, his offense, clearly failed this season and failed to adjust. If you bring in a new OC, it is still Nick’s offense. He said it himself. Not sure how much of a difference a new playcaller will make. And if you were to let a new OC bring in their own scheme, what’s the point of Nick even being there? Culture? How’d that go?
I hope I’m wrong. And next year’s soft schedule will give Nick a good chance to rebound. But I fear it’ll put off the inevitable and this window will be completely wasted on this.
Keeping a head coach who’s team quit on him in the most flagrant fashion, and giving him the opportunity to find two coordinators to coach his team and call plays for him is so terrible. What exactly is Nick bringing to the table here? He’s not an Xs and Os guy and he’s not a motivator. He’s worthless
Incoming 4-13 season followed by a promising season with a new coach followed by a Superbowl appearance I’ll see y’all there
How the fuck. How the fucking fuck.
As Eagles fans we seriously need to consider completely separating ourselves from this organization. Nick was probably trying his hardest to get fired and they got too scared to do it. I can’t fucking believe it.
Well, that’s just great. Guess I’m not watching 2024 season.
Nothing is going to change with Nick. He didn’t change fuck all all season. And if he ends up with good coordinators, then we are back to square 1 in 2025. Fuck that.
Maybe it’s a decoy play and they’re getting Nick to point who he likes so they know who not to interview after they fire him?
Even if we do get good coordinators they’ll just get HC positions right after, and we’re stuck with Nick’s ineptitude. *Sigh*
Fire Shittiani
It’s over the dude made zero fucking adjustments during a 7 week spiral
Ron Rivera for DC if Nick stays. Dude was an excellent coordinator and he recently said he would be willing to be an assistant coach. He wants to continue coaching.
How many nuggies to get Andy Reid back
Just an absolutely baffling decision if true. What reason in the world, other than saving face, do they have for keeping Sirianni? Given the team absolutely collapsed and quit, even you change the coordinators, it still leaves you with, to use his plant analogy, the root of the problem, Sirianni himself.
If he’s back next year, there’s frankly no reason to have any aspirations of a deep playoff run, let alone a return to the Super Bowl.
Sirianni had shown no willingness to make changes throughout the season as the team collapsed. Now Lurie is going to reward him with an extra season?
I don’t like HCs who don’t call plays on offense. That’s just how I feel and no one’s going to change that
