Exactly! So unless his plan is to bring in a new OC to run the offense themselves I’m not sure this works. And if that is his plan then what is Sirianni doing?

Motivational speeches.

Overall I just don’t see how forcing a new OC and DC on Sirianni fixes the problems and with him going into the season in the final season of his deal it feels like this is all a disaster waiting to happen. Just feels like way too much change combined with a lame duck coach and l don’t recall that ever being a great combination. 

The show will go on. It will stink..but there will be new faces.

What time does defense attorney Howie give his opening statement in defense of Sirianni? 

• Press conference in a nutshell:
• Tried to make it look like Siri has power
• Didn't say WHY the collapse happened
• Tried to make it look like Siri has power
• Did I mention they tried to make it look like Siri has power?
• Talked a lot, but never said anything

Howie basically defended Nick by his win/loss record and playoff appearances (as predicted).

Reporter to Nick:  If the OC and DC are in charge of their units, what is your job?

Nick: "Head Coach." More of what it's been currently. May sit in on more meetings, but job is building culture, leading the entire team, reinforcing the core values. "Diving into that, having a culture" and connecting with the players.

He’s a highly paid cheerleader in other words.

Someone please photoshop Nick onto a Culture Club album.

 

So the clown show continues. I hate to say it but you almost wish they suck next year(and Mayb they will), to see siri aquirm. At least we’ll get a good draft pick or maybe we’ll trade up this year and get a great potential project

 

 

Siri basically sat up there and said

On offense we need fresh ideas from someone outside the organization to bring his offense. Well, our offense. The Philadelphia offense. But he has to bring all the ideas, but also look at some of our old ideas of what worked. We also need to go visit some college campuses to get ideas. The new guy has to bring the offense, call the plays and bring new ideas. But it's not just the OC's offense, it's "our offense." 

I listened to the entire press conference and have come away with one burning question...

Which one of you miscreants dropped a turbo charger into the Eagles clown car? You're damaging my calm!

The Eagles brain trust has gone insane. They've kept the immature Intern to continue his development into a yes man.

I have no confidence in these guys. I am so happy we saw an Eagles SB victory. Another one seems far, far out of reach.

I hope Howie goes down with the ship if next season is another disaster.

One of the strangest "press conferences” I’ve ever seen. Nick came out actually looking worse off with his ramblings about nothing. He basically admitted he’s waiting to hire a coach that can come in and take over the offense top to bottom.

Isnt offense supposed to be your calling, Nick?

The way the team melt down at the end of last season showed that HC had no means to steer the ship back on course.  The coordinators got the blame and lost their jobs, like in most situations and companies.  Siri may still has his job, but he is not without responsibility for the poor ending.  If indeed they are bringing in someone to run the offense and make play calls, the question was already asked: what do you (i.e. Siri) do then?  Is he a HC in name only?  An interesting off-season unfolding.  

Eagles fans are hilarious.

That question was indeed asked during yesterday's PC.  His answer was "to be the head coach of the team".  He then followed up with some head-scratching comments about "maybe sitting in a little more on defensive meetings" (but I think that was his bizarre way of saying he won't be focused solely on offense).

Does anyone feel like the 2024 Eagles are on the right track? Our head coach is now just a bunch of mights and maybes with no real direction.

He was "focused on offense” last year? Not for nothing, but the offense kind of sucked last year. This is a joke.

Core values, culture, hang out with the players. Maybe they can play more basketball horse or other little competitions together.

And like I guess this model has worked in Baltimore, it kind of works in Pittsburgh (in that I don't believe Tomlin has called defensive plays for a while now), it has worked in the last couple of years in Detroit... So like this model can have some success. But to do that I think the HC has to be a real leader of men and be someone who can get guys fired up and I am not sure Nick has that. I know he built a good culture before so maybe he can but I just don't see it. I can see player sitting there thinking "what the hell is this guys job".

In short Sirianni is the hype man. He’s Flavor Flav.

I don't know why Eagles fans think this is somehow a thing with just our HC, as if Nick is useless if he doesn't call plays.

Exactly.  When Doug was hired and it was made known he would be calling plays many fans weren't very happy with that.  I remember quite a few comments about having a more traditional structure where and OC calls plays on offense, the DC runs the defense, and the HC manages the team from a higher perspective.  There are quite a few things he can do (and just needs to do well) to be successful ... building the right culture, time/clock management, etc.  I would PREFER the HC to not run either unit.

I’m not saying that but I also don’t think he’s a real leader of men so I’m just not sure what he’s going to be doing here.

IF it really was his call to demote Desai and he wasn't forced into any gameplans he didn't agree with, then I understand your pov. The recent press conference sure seems like they tried to put those rumors to bed, which just makes me feel even more suspicious about the FO being too involved this season.  They tried to hammer home that Nick has power, and it just seemed weird.  Anyway, I'm willing to give the guy a pass on one epic collapse, mainly because he just lead the team to a SB appearance. BUT, If they go out next season and are stinking it up midway through, then I'm all for firing the guy.
