A couple of years ago, the Philadelphia Eagles were without a doubt the best team in the NFC, with quarterback Jalen Hurts turning into a superstar and the team around him coming together as they were able to make it to the Super Bowl to take on Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Although the Eagles lost to the Chiefs in the Super Bowl, Philadelphia was expected to be a title contender for the foreseeable future, as long as Hurts could stay healthy and productive under center.
Unfortunately, last season was a disappointment for the Eagles after a promising start, as they fell apart on both sides of the football in the second half of the 2023 campaign, resulting in a blowout loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the NFL playoffs.
That epic collapse last season was thought by many to cost head coach Nick Sirianni his job, but the team’s brass decided against that move, even though it’s safe to say he’s on the hot seat this year.
Despite being 3-2 on the season and coming off a win against the Cleveland Browns, Sirianni is taking a lot of heat this week for losing his cool on the fans at the end of the game and making some questionable in-game decisions throughout the season thus far.
Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio thinks that the Eagles don’t have a chance to win it all with Sirianni as their head coach moving forward.
“The Philadelphia Eagles have a 0% chance to win a Super Bowl with Nick Sirianni.” @AdamSchein says the #Eagles will eventually move on from Nick Sirianni and his clownish act.

With Sirianni being an emotional head coach who doesn’t have thick skin, he likely won’t be the Eagles head coach for long, as Philadelphia is as tough a place to coach as any in the NFL with a fanbase that demands results.
It’ll be interesting to see what the future holds for Sirianni and whether he can make it through the season while getting the Eagles back in the playoffs with a shot to go the distance.
