His Coaching, and decisions, and behavior have been so weird this season. Maybe, mentally, by having his Coaching duties stripped from him, he is just lost and clueless on game day.

After Chip Kelly was fired, I remember reading something to the effect that Lurie was in a way happy that Kelly wanted to take over personnel.  He thought that Kelly wasn't up to it and it would give Lurie a pretext to get rid of him. 

If this report was correct, I could only imagine what is going through the owner's head right now after yesterday.

When will they fire this clown?  Barring a massive meltdown, probably not until the season is over. 

When do I want them to fire this clown?  Yesterday. 

I'd take Doc Rivers at this point 

I can't think of a more Philly type of story line than this

The most important reason Siri wont be fired is is that your star QB has vouched for him. For now.

Siri is a mixed bag as a head coach.  He picked a pretty good initial coaching staff, had his famous "flower" speech, installed a system (with Steichen) that made Hurts a star and took this team to within a really bad holding call of a Super Bowl win. He also acts like a cocky, teenage meathead at times on the sideline...particularly during the SB year. He refused to change or adapt his offense in any way last season while overseeing a total team collapse that got worse and worse as the season went...even while they were winning. 

With the way that it seems Lurie and Howie inject themselves into the football side of things, it's really hard to know how much responsibility should be placed on Siri for how things unfolded last season.  Furthermore, Hurts doesn't strike me as being "helpful" with that kinda stuff either.  He seems to just be stoic and goes about his business.  If a building is on fire and everyone is running around in chaos, Hurts would just calmly go grab his belongings and leave...and after he left the building, he'd mention to police officer that hey, that building is on fire, you should do something...before heading home. 

Siri really is in a tough spot this year.  If he gets canned after this season, we'll be back to square 1 with the painful HC search because nobody who wants any say will get an opportunity here.

Siri is not a mixed bag. Siri is a flea. On a dog full of fleas. This is why it is hard for any team to win on a consistent bases, or win a SB. It takes multiple factors to align and go right. This years Eagles team is not it. And with Hurts’s escalating salary…Eagles would have to hit on a second Tom Brady in the draft, for the ship to wright itself.

Do any other coaches bring their kids to the pressers? It’s unprofessional and was 100% done to deflect any negativity. 

do any other coaches react to the fans like that either? 

I don't think I've seen other coaches do it but I don't have a problem with it.

I do think I've seen video of Dick Vermeil yelling at fans as he was about to head into the locker room and Chuck Bednarik had to kind of pull him away. It's been so long ago that I saw that clip that I'm not sure if I saw it or if I'm imagining that I saw it.

I wouldn't want to see him fired before the end of the season. Let him work things out as best as he can for 2024 and see how things turn out. If he goes deep into the playoffs or wins the Super Bowl, obviously keep him. I just hate starting over so often. I like stability, provided it's winning stability and not losing stability. 

I'm always a little too patient though, with the exception of Chip Kelly. I was more than ready to be rid of him. 

I completely get it! I really do and in most cases you’d be absolutely right to stick by a HC for the full season. But Sirianni has had enough time now. He was given time last year after the collapse. A collapse that came after we saw the same problems even in wins. He was then given the off season and still no fixes. Now he’s been given 5 games and a bye week and still no fixes or changes.

Under Sirianni this is who we are and that is not going to change. So we can waste a year with him in charge and limp in to the playoffs (maybe though I’m not actually sure we will) but this team is wasting a lot of talent on offense.

I hope Sirianni gets fired, this guy has major OCD and his fricken impulsive nature is what is leading to so many bone headed decisions. 

 

This guy has zero maturity and behaves like a child too often, wonder how his wife puts up with this sh*. Peeps like Siranni should not be a coach in the NFL or anywhere for that matter... This team's success so far since Sirianni started has almost nothing to do with him, its all the players and other coaches...

 

Can't wait to say 'good riddance' when I hear that he got fired...

The fans held a sign in front of the Novacare complex demanding that Andy Reid be fired. They also chanted fire Andy in the stands. If you’re going to flex on the fans don’t do it on a game where you beat one of the worse teams in football by four points. Everyone else in the division has already blown that team out. People are tired of the nail biting wins or the blowout losses this team keeps giving us. Coming off a bye week, healthy, at home, going against a team that’s basically quit already, and that’s the best Sirianni could do? You know after that game he should’ve just not said anything other than we have to play better. He would’ve won more fans over with that than complaining about them booing. It’s easy to stop the fans from booing. Stop barely beating bum teams, because the fans know that isn’t going to fly against good teams. Yes Philly fans are demanding, but if you can’t handle that then go coach someplace else.

You obviously weren't around for Jerry Williams or Eddie Khyat at the beginning of the SB era, or Joe (must go) Kuharich in the '60's, or Bert Bell during the first decade of the franchise.  But since the turn of the century, I'd have to agree with the post.

Yeah before my time.

This is the same team as last year. Different coordinators but the same stench. Even last year during the skid we had a very sloppy win over the Giants. No way Siri survives this unless they  make a deep playoff run and that ain't happenning.

The Giants look a little better this yeah. I think Nabors can shred our secondary.

Dick did have some temper..but what a charismatic coach he was. Love that guy. When he quit the team..it was a sad day.

This arseclown comes out flat against arguably the worst team in the league, fresh off two weeks of prep against them with a far more talented roster. 

And they barely eke out the win. 

And he's yelling at fans of his own team in the stands. 

And he needs Big Dom to be his babysitter on the sidelines. 

F this guy.

When he quit, I was sad for 35 years, then one cold February night in 2018 a man named Nick Foles made me happy again.

Was Concrete Charlie a guest or something (since their time on the Eagles didn't overlap)?  Bednarik '49-'62, Vermeil '76-'82.

I think he was on the staff at that time. Not sure in what capacity, I suppose he could have been a guest on the sidelines. Maybe @FranklinFldEBUpper remembers?

Here's an image of the incident that I was remembering:

I believe Bednarik was sort of an honorary coach for a little while under Vermeil. I don't know if he was there day-to-day, but he did help out in some capacity. And he was certainly there on game days. But this might only have been for a year or two.

Can't help thinking how the fans would feel differently about Nick if the Eagles won that Super Bowl, which they should have as they had the superior team and personnel.  Fans may have wanted to get rid of Doug at the end but they never felt this way about Doug like they do Nick...  Different personalities and all, but still....

Some coaches win a SB and then regress. We've seen other coaches around the league like that. It's hard to repeat success. For Siri, what if reaching the SB was his ceiling and after that he's gone downhill? The list of issues with Siri piles up each week.

Dang, harsh!

But he didn't win the Super Bowl, and part of that may have been missteps with important in-game decisions at critical times.  Going for it around midfield when it was 4th and 6 when Hurts fumbled and the Chiefs score a td.  Going for a field goal toward the end of the game when the Chiefs were marching up and down the field.  Same in-game mismanagement we see today.

That’s mostly media theater in my opinion. They have been killing Hurts for his lukewarm Sirianni responses so this time he’s trying to do it differently. Doesn’t matter cause it was a lot of the same out there. 

Some players defended Chip Kelly too. It's good to be loyal in public and show a solid front.

Last year during the collapse players were praising the coaches and taking the blame, while the coaches were praising the players and taking the blame. That's good for the media.

Doesn't mean there aren't problems though.

hire Belicheat before the cowboys grab him
