Bring in the Falcons DC he’s been pretty solid and we need a veteran OC.
Go get Bienemy!!
A la Doug Pederson. If lurie and Sirriani butt heads on the plan going forward, he’ll be gone like pederson
So basically tomorrow is what they did with Doug, still 50/50 if he is back or not. If Nick doesn’t have a good plan or candidates Lurie likes he is gone.
I have a feeling this plan is gonna be like Frank Reich and Ron Rivera (cause what top tier DC candidate would commit to a coach with a seat that will be hotter than Antarctica in 2100)
Similar to what Dougy P went through. Unlike Dougy P, Sirianni is going to follow whatever recommendations Lurie has.
So let’s see what happens. Hopefully for his sake, Sirianni selects coordinators that can provide an immediate impact.
Nick’s Powerpoint: “So–Frank Reich, right? He’s–you know–the guy, he’s just–I think we should, for–Hire Frank Reich”
Lurie: “The job is still yours!”
He’s definitely gonna fail that!
I don’t understand how they would entertain this idea.
He’s going to get this guy to take over the offense and this other guy to have complete control of the defense. He’s just going to focus on details and management. Like if he can’t have any say or control in scheme then what good is he actually good for. He’s more of a liability that people like.
Even good managing coaches know scheme and what good fundamentals are. Nick proved this year he doesn’t and can’t succeed unless he has an extremely limited role.
And then add in the fact he needs to cover his ass for what went wrong this season. He didn’t hire the right coaches and coordinators. So they’re going to trust him to do it again?
We’ll see what happens. I’ll be okay with keeping Sirriani for another year, but both coordinators need to go, and we desperately need to get help with our secondary. If the play calling doesn’t improve, then chuck Nick into some remote location in central PA and find someone else.
I don’t think coordinator jobs in Philly are gonna be a sought after position.
Hopefully it’s just a cover to give a reason for firing him. I don’t know how you look at the absolute failure of the offense and think this guy has any clue at all. They can’t waste the talent we have on this team or it’s going to be a downward slide to a rebuild or perennial mediocrity.
I might kill myself if we end up bringing Frank Reich back.
i have not seen anyone mention frank reich? anyone know what is going on with him?
reich and nick are close and i dont see him getting another HC job. nick must be talking to him. why not try to bring him back as OC/senior coaching assistant?
Have a hard time imagining any decent upcoming coaches wanting to hitch their wagon to Nick while he’s on a national hot seat.
Logistical Issue: Couldn’t find a plan.
Sirriani will hire whoever Jeff wants. He’s just a low level covfefe boy
I really don’t see the point in keeping Nick. Even the average fan knows we’ll never have continuity at play caller, and Nick’s scheme is awful. Cant we at least just hire the next man up in the Shanahan tree, I mean damn. Imagine Devonta and AJ ACTUALLY being in motion every snap. We’re 32nd in pre snap motion, bottom 3 in passes over the middle, and top 3 in, “widest” formations. ALL of the top offenses in the league are the complete opposite of those 3 things.
Someone please explain to me the point of keeping an offensive minded head coach that cant install an offense, cant keep on the cutting edge schematically, and cant call plays. So say they get a good OC in…ok so when they get hired away the next year then what? whats the point
Ahhhh shit here we go again
What coordinator in their right mind would hitch their career onto the Sirianni wagon at this point? The only way that Lurie is satisfied enough to keep him is if he just bobs his head and agrees with everything he says. And if I’m Lurie evaluating a head coach, that’s almost worse than whatever the fuck we just watched for the last 2 months.
Nick has to go. There are too many legit options. Like an unprecedented amount. Go get Vrabel, someone players actually respect.
Still waiting for one of these in the know reporters to drop the story on what the hell happened down the stretch internally. You know there’s some shit that went down we haven’t heard about. People have insinuated, but no one outright saying. Guess they’re waiting to drop these stories once there’s some resolution reached
Just disable his key card, he’ll get the message
“We won’t change a fucking thing. We win the Chip if they don’t blitz! We win it all if they don’t fucking blitz!!!!!! We wi-“ [escorted off the campus by Dom]
“Alright, Mr. Lurie, here’s the plan. We’re going to get Mr. Belichick to be DC, we’re going to get Mr. Reid to be OC, we’re going to get Peyton Manning to be QB coach, and Brian Dawkins to be mascot. I’ve saved the team.”
Kinda idk, controversial?!? But if Sirianni was as “useless” as reports sound (it was Shane calling plays and that’s why with Ben Johnson it sucks because Nick isn’t) I say keep Nick but get better Coordinators.
Is it ideal? No. But the Vets back Nick, which could allow us to retain the Legendary 4 while getting rid of the coordinators. Nick being an almost glorified cheerleader isnt a ling term solution, but i rather keep good players/amazing locker room guys with a hands off coach and better coordinators vs a full rebuild
Which is to be expected.
​
Look, while I agree with the sentiment that Sirianni has not earned the right to keep his job, but Laurie will give him an opportunity to outline a vision. And maybe Nick can come in and provide that.
​
I also think we need to be realistic. If we fire nick, this is a rebuilding situation. Maybe a new head coach can come in and take over and immediately turn it around, but that isn’t likely. You are probably going to see 1-2 seasons of rebuilding as the coach installs his methods and staff before we are competitive again, and our team isn’t getting younger. The question is whether we want to start that process now, or give Nick the opportunity to bring in new coordinators and see if he can turn it around with a better staff and additional resources.
This some bullshit, Jeffrey, I demand you kill this man at once!
Let me get this straight. If somehow they keep Nick and have some success next year – the OC will get pouched again and they will stand exactly in this situation all over again. That must be the dumbest plan I’ve heard of.
Why would you hire a coach that doesn’t run its own offense or defense? Why hasn’t Jeffery learned it by now? Stop hiring diamonds in the rough and get a coach that knows his shit!
This is so dumb. Fire him immediately. Nick doesn’t do anything and who the hell is gonna come here to be the coordinators? Boo.
He is basically interviewing for his job
Please just fire him
What’s interesting here to me, and isn’t discussed enough, is that I think Roseman likes having Sirianni.
Roseman doesn’t want Belichek or Harbaugh in here. Each of those guys will want some of Roseman’s power. Roseman is comfortable with Sirianni.
So if Sirianni is smart, he’ll let Roseman help him here with identifying some candidates. If those two go in with a United front then Nick gets to stay. If Nick goes against Roseman, and wants to keep his guts, then he’s finished.
The only thing I know for sure is that if they do hit on an OC and the offense cooks next year, we’ll be back here again next year looking for another OC. Definition of insanity.
Good. Given his track record of picking prior coordinators, adjustments and improvements, this bodes well for him getting fired.
The allure of being a coordinator under Nick is that if the team falters early next year, you might get elevated to interim HC if Nick is fired. So I could see the Eagles attracting good candidates for both positions now that they have more lead time than they did last year. Remember, it was a total scramble to find coordinators in 2023 since all the good hires had been made by the time we wrapped the season with the Super Bowl loss.
I don’t hate that Nick isn’t gone but he’s gonna have to prove a lot. I’m hoping they actually get decent coordinators to make up for the atrocity that was the 2023 season. If they can’t manage to turn things around for the 24 season then maybe Nick should be gone but I think he gets another chance since he did take the team to playoffs and a SB. Now if only we can get past round one and get back to the SB again I’d be happy as long as they can manage to keep the team together. At the moment it seems the locker room is a bit dismantled and that ain’t good we have a lot of Veterans and really great players on the team. We cannot fuck that up. I hope Lurie knows this and doesn’t fumble it with Howie.
