At this point, what is done is done. It’s time to pack up and move on.
Let’s learn not to make the same mistake. Also O-line wasn’t healthy either, so it wasn’t exactly “prime”.
Is it so hard to believe that Nick and Howie thought this would work? It didn’t, obviously, but to act like he did this for his friend at the expense of the team ignores the likely reality that they thought he would do a good job.
On paper it was talented, but taking into account how bad our run game was I don’t buy it. Also the QBs limitations, but that’s probably a conversation we’re 2 seasons away from.
Lurie and Howie enabled this as well. They deserve plenty of blame for handing Sirianni the keys when he’d already blown it once 2 years ago.
Well, he is unqualified himself. People are just realizing.
Nicks a dope. As far as I’m concerned we won the SB because of Barkley and Kellen Moore.
But imagine if it worked! Best buds working together for life! – Nick, probably
While Patullo was the biggest problem and Sirianni not adjusting was probably the second, I’m not convinced that firing/demoting him earlier would’ve resulted in anything better. There were other problems and bringing in a new OC doesn’t guarantee we click. We could’ve imploded after changing OCs.
While we are talented enough to do it, winning the Superbowl twice in a row is very difficult.
And last I checked they’re both still in the building collecting paychecks. Apparently the problem goes higher than them.
While they’re interviewing OCs, they should re-interview everyone on offensive side of the coaching staff.
Wasted season
Y’all said this is same stupid shit two years ago then we won the Superbowl the following year.
Stop whining
mother fucker, do you think sirianni has more say than howie and lurie? he didn’t just go rogue and refuse moves howie and lurie were pushing on him just to be nice to his friend. you people have to actually be brain dead to think this is how the franchise is being run.
Yup. Will literally think back to this season for the rest of my life as the biggest missed opportunity this team ever had in my memory. The league sucks this year. All the offense had to be was average…and with our lineup, somehow we couldn’t do it. It’s a shame.
I can’t imagine they will ever top this failure.
I have no issue with trying to bring Patullo up to be the OC. You want to have a culture where people can move up in the organization when they earn the opportunity. What I don’t like is the entire fan base seeing he’s not capable of being a playcaller at this level, by about week 5, and sticking with him anyway. The fact that Nick is unable to take over when it’s clearly not working is a huge issue.
The arrogance at each press conference is most frustrating during the season. We’re not changing anything. I will do more with the offense. We will figure it out. Meanwhile, the entire planet can see what the problem was. What a waste for sure
Ok after the Super Bowl last season who should they have hired?
Its a front office problem as well, not just Nick. Lurie deserves responsibility as well, funny thst he will be paying the financial consequences.
From what i remember from previous reporting, Patullo would have been his pick 2 years ago instead of Brian Johnson, but Johnson was seen as the more promising talent of the two and was given the green light first
This is why it’s important to have a head coach that takes care of one side of the ball.
When you look at the other playoff teams they are just as stacked roster wise or have more talent on the roster. This take is terrible. Patullo sucks but the most talented roster take is a homer take not reality.
But what about the friends he nepo’ed along the way?
They also were hiring late in the off-season cycle (because they won the SB) so options were limited. It’s not like there were top candidates just sitting there and they promoted internally.
If the nail this hire, they can be right back in contention. If they have a really good season, though, then they might have to search for an OC again. Unless they find an offensive version of Fangio, who probably doesn’t have HC ambitions at this point then its a consequence of being a well run franchise.
Whoever becomes OC may eventually take over after Sirianni
I will not be gaslit into believing everyone knew without hindsight that Patullo would be this bad. Also can we stop pretending that describing him as “best friend” isn’t disingenuous as fuck? Yes, he was that. BUT he also has been in the NFL since 2007. 18 years of experience. With Sirianni for 7. I guess no one believes in internal promotions? Eagles aren’t the first nor last time to do it. Sometimes it doesn’t work out. The insufferable whining of this fan base acting like they knew without a doubt it wouldn’t work is disgusting. Grow up.
It’s always going to be a mark against him, and if he can’t ever take us back to the Super Bowl it might end up being his defining one.
Tbf, This is how many of us feel.
Myself alone, I genuinely like the loyalty for a friend. But since Nick is not a good play caller himself, this was a terrible idea, just fkn TERRIBLE.
If Nick was a great OC himself, he could’ve guided the team when KP wasn’t up to par, but he’s not, he had no plan b or c, he failed the team, the fans, and his friend.
If I’m Mr. Laurie I’m telling Howie, “never again.” If I’m Howie, I’m notifying Nick I will be handling staff from now on. You struck out 2x now we will not attempt a third. This organization will not suffer because of personal relationships.
