The Eagles Truth Inside Coach Nick Sirianni’s Passionate Take On QB Jalen Hurts<\/a> originally appeared on Athlon Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It wasn’t that long ago when Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and quarterback Jalen Hurts seemed – in terms of their relationship – to be on the outs. Following a troubling end to the 2023 season, reports suggested that the coach and quarterback were in conflict.<\/p>\n

But … winning cures all.<\/p>\n

Whatever frustrations each person had with the other? That is seemingly all evaporated now. Philadelphia’s run to Super Bowl LIX highlighted the improved relationship between Sirianni and Hurts. … and we will argue that Philly wouldn’t have marched to and won The Big Game without this pair being on the same page.<\/p>\n

The partnership seems like a powerful one now …<\/p>\n

So much so that the Eagles’ coach has come to the defense again of his quarterback. In a weird post-title backlash, criticism has grown for Hurts over the last few months. Some analysts believe the Super Bowl MVP has only become successful due to the talent around him.<\/p>\n

Sirianni finds those claims nothing short of ludicrous, and has the perfect argument against them.<\/p>\n

“One of the reasons I love football so much is that it takes everybody to accomplish your goals,” Sirianni said via ESPN<\/a>, adding that ripping Hurts is “bull****.” “You can go ahead and start naming great quarterbacks, I’ll tell you their great receivers and their great defenses.<\/p>\n

“You know, whether it’s Brady with Gronkowski or Brady’s defenses early on, Mahomes with Kelce, Steve Young with Jerry Rice, the list goes on and on and on.”<\/p>\n

Sirianni’s comparison is actually on the money for Hurts and the Eagles. If one looks at any quarterback in league history with a Super Bowl title, they all have multiple things in common.<\/p>\n

A top offense around them, or a historically great defense to dominate on the other side of the ball.<\/p>\n

Those factors do not take away from how brilliantly the quarterback performed; It just means the individuals on the team as a whole dovetailed into a unit that was simply better than anyone else.<\/p>\n

Hurts and Sirianni did that. So did the Eagles, from top to bottom. And that’s the balm against the criticism: They were – and maybe are – simply better than anyone else.<\/p>\n
