Big Red has the wins, but he was here for twelve years. Doug has the SB win, but he couldn’t last and the team progressively got worse under him. Sirianni’s winning percentage is up there with HOF level coaches. He’s been to the most SBs as any other Eagles HC and he’s won one already. There really isn’t a logical argument for anyone else.
February 10Feb 10 Sirianni is now 1 for 2 in the Super Bowl. That is even with HOFers Vermiel, Cowher, and Stram along with McVay, Tomlin, and Carroll. Â
February 10Feb 10 Some folks in this thread have been on a real emotional journey. That's OK, the growth process can be painful.
February 10Feb 10 Author Siri did well, but let's face facts - the person who is responsible primarily for this win is Howie Roseman. Coaches are a lot smarter when they have stacked rosters.

Sirianni has been to the bowl twice and won it with multiple different coordinators. I was a big Sirianni hater, but I was wrong. This guy knows how to motivate men and win football games. I guess Lurie learned from Keeping Andy Reid for too long. Andy's and Doug's last seasons with Eagles were atrocious. Hurts looked like a bust with Doug; top 5 with Sirianni. Maybe Hurts would have turned into McNabb 2.0 with Doug. No ill will toward Doug, who won Eagles their first Super Bowl.

Right now I’m glad they moved on from Doug. They seem to have a good idea on when to move on from a coach and who to hire. I’ll leave that to them from now on.

This honestly isn't the correct mentality. Players need to be developed, and we got production from players in multiple rounds, including players who weren't providing the production they did here prior. One of Sirianni's biggest and most consistent points is that he focused on having an organization of teachers. Howie selects the groceries, but it's the teaching centric Eagles coaching staff which cooks them. It's the combination of those two elements which results in the roster being stacked. Two rookies at CB is not stacked. New talents developing on your DL of 2nd and rookie players (Jalyx Hunt and Nolan Smith) is not stacked. Converting a LB to ILB who had literally never played the position is not stacked. Bryce Huff, the intended starting DE busted so far. Devin White, intended high snap ILB never saw the field iirc. Some of his role intended FA acquisitions busted but were replaced by talent being developed. People ignore the development part of why the roster is stacked, because they just assume the players would have developed the same regardless of coaching staff, and there's just no evidence of that. It's not just Howie's improved drafting, it's also Sirianni's teaching centric mentality. It's one of the things he brought to the organization, and if you look at some of the stories, the coaches also have a hand in player selection too. National media ignores this because they don't want to give Nick credit, but the process of 'stacking' in the salary cap NFL also involves development, and the development comes from a teaching centric staff. Like how they called the Legion of Boom a stacked defense, but Sherman was a 5th round pick. Â

Â Only lost the last one because of the field as people now see, buuuuut I can only use that as half a talking point because it's possible the drive to get back and win another wouldn't have been so strong.
February 11Feb 11 Cowherd made a point that players get better over time with training and experience and coaches can too. Siri was really bad at times. He has gotten better. We helped him get better with our ... feedback.  Andy Reid was a gameday 2 minute / 5 minute drill clown for about 14 years and he got way better.

Nick has improved but the take that shitting on him in ways that were actually nonsensical and using this to save face is garbage. People were wrong, just like Colin was wrong. Nick handled it the right way. People should just admit that they were in their feelings because he rubbed them the wrong way and used that as an excuse to blow criticism out of proportion. He has one of the best records in football and did before this year too. People were pissy because of the collapse, and honestly, it's as simple as that. Pressure from winning the last Lombardi Trophy combined with not liking Nick's personality. Let's call a spade a spade.

February 12Feb 12 At this point ,we should be talking about when will the Eagles extend his contract.

February 12Feb 12 Despite the lack of people coming into the thread to eat their rightful share of crow, it's nice that there's a list of names and dates of who's owed a cut right on the thread. I love old style bulletin software!
