Considering how many people think he is a terrible coach, who also think he has a terrible QB, that´s amazing

DO I have the QBs those guys have right?

Hurts
Brees
Brady
P Manning
Elway

If so, that puts Hurts in rare company too

I'm just going to add something on Kellen Moore in here. McCarthy scapegoated him a couple of seasons ago and essentially said it was due to a difference in philosophy because he wanted to 'run the ball more'. 

The Eagles are currently first in rush attempts per game with 36.4. Dallas is second last with 21.9

The coaches as a collective have done an excellent job so far and the team looks to be getting better each and every week 

To me, it's just kind of weird that there are still fans out there that would happily see Sirianni replaced --- with anybody.

He's a very good HC. His players are behind him and this team never quits. 

Hmmm. Changing my answer to never. 8-2 four years in a row. 

4 straight trips to playoffs. can't complain about that. Keep the Coach.

I believe Howie/Lurie had a talk with him

8-2 three years in a row. Playoffs 3 years in a row (we haven't clinched a spot this year yet. )

But in the afore mentioned "3 years in a row," Nick has accomplished those with three new offensive and three new defensive coordinators.

He seems to have quickly changed from the immature, emotional reactions and also the in-game decisions. If he keeps that in check - especially against better teams - that will be a big help.

I have wondered if his issues were gameday. Obviously his players like him and stick up for him. But, they also criticized the slow starts and creativity on offense. Changes were made, and they're doing better.

We will see how he does against some better teams and in the playoffs. "The real test."

You're probably right. His behavior of late has been more mature. 

 

Makes a huge difference having competent coordinators.  

I don't think very many coaches won't eventually be fired.

This poll isn't aging well. He's signed through 2025 and I think he'll be extended beyond that. He isn't getting fired this year. He's becoming a better head coach with experience. Lurie may want to consider giving sizable raises to Fangio and Moore and attempt to keep this entire coaching staff together for more than 1 season. Obviously it seems like Fangio is happy and wants to be in Philadelphia and likely will be here anyway, but he's demonstrating his worth and there is no coaching salary cap, so reward him. Moore will certainly get interviews for HC openings, but many of those teams are bad situations to go to. It might be smarter to stay here if the pay is good than to put your coaching rep on the line for a bad franchise. The interviews won't guarantee an offer, but it can't be ruled out.

But all in all, we have the right people in place right now. 

Wouldn’t be surprised to see Moore getting the HC job in Dallas if it becomes vacant.

Jerruh loves retreads. Belichick is a lock.

I keep seeing this comment... Why would they hire him back if they let him go in the first place?

I’ve heard it mentioned that Fangio has said this will be his final coaching stop before retirement. At his age, it seems plausible. 

Still don't particularly like the guy but he deserves some credit this season since the bye week. Playing to the teams strengths and not making bone head decisions has helped.

He's created a good team unity at the moment - hopefully it doesn't all fall apart down the stretch and into the playoffs. But yeah having good co ordinators certainly helps.

I have been following this stat for a while.

I looked at Madden's career and started to get Ryan Day at Ohio State vibes.  He had a lot of regular season success.  But...

He inherited a 12-2 team.  He had 11 HOFers on his rosters.  Went 1-6 in conference championship games. Only Super Bowl victory was over a Vikings team that was already 0-3 in these games.

Saquon Barkley has been playing at an MVP like level this year and good for 7 in nearly every game except the bye. Even more if you consider stolen sneaks his touchdowns. Nick's offense last year did not have Saquon Barkley, but we had about the same offensive rank. That means that Nick's offense last year was better than this year's when you don't account for the running back being a monster and literally carrying us offensively.

You know what wasn't better last year?

• Jalen Hurts being interception happy.
• The defense giving up 25ppg, which was very similar to our offensive our scoring total this year and last year.

I appreciate you having the balls to post here unlike the entire rest of the board that's intentionally pretending they didn't all call for the dude to be spiked and are waiting patiently to bail themselves out with "SEE WE WERE RIGHT" as soon as he does anything they disagree with, but this is just another example that it's important to understand there's 6 other days besides Sunday these guys prepare, and just because those days are less visible than Sundays doesn't mean they don't happen.

Not to pick on you or anything, a lot of this is global. Thanks for at least owning up a little. More courage than the rest.

Close the thread and start the "When will Sirianni get his extension?” thread.

Yeah good post.

He started the season making a lot of mistakes and stupid calls. These seems to have disappeared for the most part and the guys clearly like him.

I do think Fangio has saved him because the offence is still pretty lame without 1 man.

Didn´t Madden also have an absolute headcase who used to turn up to practice drunk, naked and on horseback? I might be imagining that but i am convinced I read that somewhere. I´m on my work machine so probably not a good idea for me to pop that in a search engine!

Head coaches can have very good records but can have some bad issues.  Sirianni has some very good points like being always positive, seems to motivate the players well, has practice methods that build in rest for the veterans, take proactive roles in the health of the players, among others.....those are the kind of things that players love and will motivate players to play their ass off for a coach.

But Sirianni still has some issues that he needs to address.  Being involved in the offense is one of them.  I believe Sirianni still scripts the first 10-15 plays and that's why the team struggles early......it's too obvious that when Moore starts calling plays, the offense really starts rolling.......there's more formations, more movement, more diversity in play calling.

If Sirianni can keep his hands off the offense and manage the team and the game, I think it would benefit the team even more.

Being honest, I think Fangio has too somewhat, but two points are important there.

1) Not really a slight against Nick: Every other successful Eagles coach of this millennium had a 'head coach of the defense' style older defensive guy to divide the work the head coach has to do in half. Nick didn't have that for three years, now he does.
2) Yeah, honestly the offense without Saquon is suspect. Some people say "Moore saved the offense!" but I think that's just false. The passing offense really is not good and what really is saving them is Saquon - without him, the offense might have actually been better last year instead. Because like I said above, PPG is around the same this year and last year.

That's a huge problem. And while I think we have a team that could contend for a chip, Jalen has to be a better deliverer of the football. He has time, but he has to improve at it otherwise we have a weakness. Not necessarily an exploitable one, though.
