“I couldn’t be more excited about football.”
Specifically, Eagles football.
Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie has overseen the best era in Eagles history – four Super Bowl appearances since 2004 (three in the last nine seasons) with two Lombardi Trophies and nine division titles in that same span.
But Lurie is as hungry as ever for more. Entering his 32nd season in charge of the franchise, the obsession and desire to win remain paramount.
“I love owning the Eagles. I love trying to make us better in every way. And that’s what I’m focused on. I know we’ve got the greatest fans, but we also have a franchise that we’re incredibly proud of,” Lurie said on Tuesday at the NFL’s Annual Meeting in Phoenix. “I think we still have a chance to win multiple more Super Bowls. We’re in this phase where there’s nothing I want more than the third Lombardi.”
Lurie is optimistic about the direction of the team following changes to the coaching staff after the 2025 season ended to restore a “championship-level offense.”
“Incredibly excited about the offensive staff that Nick (Sirianni, head coach) has put together,” Lurie said. “This is a real kudos to Nick to recognize clearly what was needed in terms of our overall offensive effectiveness. It’s never about one coach, one scheme, one staff, or anything like that. That’s not the way we operate.”
After a process that allowed the Eagles to gain insight into the bright, young up-and-coming offensive minds in the game, the team named Sean Mannion as the new offensive coordinator. A nine-year NFL quarterback, Mannion enters his third season as a coach after spending 2025 as the quarterbacks coach in Green Bay. It is not lost on Lurie that the Eagles had an outstanding run the last time the team hired a quarterbacks coach from Green Bay when Andy Reid was named head coach in 1999.
“Incredible impressive is all I’m going to say,” Lurie said of Mannion. “Work ethic, A+. Innovativeness and dynamism, A+.”
Lurie acknowledges that he’s involved as ever when it comes to running the Eagles organization, but relies on a senior leadership team that largely has been together for the majority of his tenure.
“We’ve had some of the same outstanding senior executives for almost a quarter of a century. Our team president (Don Smolenski) is really one of the best in sports. Our GM (Howie Roseman), I think is definitely one of the best in sports,” Lurie said.
