I’m far from a Siriani hater. He deserves a ton of credit for this team’s success over the past few years and keeping them together.

But it’s becoming increasingly clear that he is pretty reliant on having a good OC and recently our OCs have either sucked or been poached.

Got me thinking - they kept his contract extension pretty quiet. Wonder if it was more like 3 years so they have an easy out in a year or two? (Whatever happens - he gets at least next year)

You don't have to be a 'hater' (gawd how I despise this overused term) to realize that he has always been a part of the problem. Yes, he has had success here but I think the level of talent that is here is what allows them to win in SPITE of Siri....I hate his soft philosophy, attitude, and approach to the game. Hurts wanted to keep pounding the chiefs into the dirt and this dude wants to stop and go back to being soft and allow them to score to save face. He has brought a level of softness to this organization that Philly is just not known for. We are loud, arrogant, proud and like smashmouth football and he is not that at all....

He has to be doing something right...but are they winning because of the stacked roster Howie built and Fangio?

Or maybe he recognizes it's not the 1950s anymore.

Whatever you say....have at it....

Good question. I know nothing about his current contract. But, I'd be surprised if the Eagles didn't have some sort of clause in it that allows them to dump him.

Like Doug, Siri would get a job probably wherever he wanted.

So I think they are confused.

Doug was the high EQ adult who brought positive culture to the team.

I would take Doug back today. Wentz was such an aggressive cancer that he destroyed the locker room.

The moron would not talk to Doug and his career has been a dumpster fire ever since.

A01 t-shirt in the locker room vermin while living his life 100% selfishly.

Wentz went from about 30 million a year to about 1.9 million a year at age 31 because of his tantrums at 28.

If you asked me who was the most hated player in an NFL locker room in the 2000s I would say Wentz in Indy.

Siri yells at opposing fans and insults Eagles fans and cries to his wife that we are mean.

he stuck his finger in our faces on TV about us not loving Gannon enough, lol.

His judgement is horrific.

Then he spews pro-Patullo propaganda lies at us every week.

Moore and Fangio were forced on him.

The term used to describe Siri in the 2023 to 2024 offseason was castrated.

Siri has as much to do with this D as Ditka did in 1985 when Buddy banned him from the meeting room.

Ditka won a SB like Siri, then he coasted for a while on Buddy's players.

He finished up 20-44 in his last 4 years and was banished from the NFL at age 60.

He won 2 playoff games the rest of his life after Buddy.

Someone explain to me how Siri is more competent than Ditka.

The Chiefs ran 53 plays in the LVII Super Bowl. They only had 8 3rd downs all game.

That is how awful Gannon was.

The 2 Mahomes TDs were throws at the line to completely uncovered gadget guys.

They ran the identical play twice and Gannon was just as flummoxed the second time.

Siri inflicted Gannon on us. He was a DB coach with Siri in Indy.

The Bidwells are such complete morons that they thought it was Gannon and not the players that made that defense good.

How's that working out for them?

See if you can spot the SB that Mahomes faced Gannon

Gannon was a solid DC. He messed up in the Super Bowl - probably distracted by the improper early approach by Arizona. Out of his depth at HC.

Not in the same league as Fangio or Schwartz (who was under rated here)

Hopefully him and KP will leave Philly after this season. Go coach in Miami or Cleveland.

Kellen Moore. Please come back, sir. 🏈🦅

Sirianni has a lot of good qualities for a head coach in Philly. He also has a few terrible qualities, like his poor judgement in hiring OCs.

Steichen had a year and a half experience as an OC with play calling responsibilities before Sirianni hired him and they went to the Super Bowl. Brian Johnson had none. Kevin Patullo had none.

Howie Roseman hired Kellen Moore who had 4-5 years of OC experience and they won the Super Bowl.

Sirianni should never be permitted to hire an OC....

It's been so frustrating to watch this offense with SO MUCH TALENT, be handed over to another OC with no creativity, no attack mentality, no ability to adjust in game. When the Eagles break huddle they have the physical demeanor of "here we go again" and "going thru the motions".....

^^^^

When they break the huddle, there's only like 3 seconds on the clock. LOL. So Jalen can't even audible, or change the blocking scheme, or make adjustments to the passing routes, etc...

One good thing is that it's just Lurie's money and not the cap

Sirianni isn't, not should he be, immune from criticism. However, for me some of the chatter around him reminds me that sport is like politics in some ways. If your career lasts long enough it will always end in failure.

I get that he isn't to everyone's taste but he does have a remarkable record. You don't know what you've got until it's gone, so maybe we should be careful what we wish for

5 straight years in the playoffs with 2 Superbowl appearances and still alive for a potential 3rd appearance, with how many different coordinators?

If his success is all down to the coordinators, how many of his ex coordinators have reached the playoffs since leaving? I guess Johnson did as an offensive assistant head coach at the Commanders last year but he's the one this fanbase almost unanimously dismisses as a horses ass of an offensive coordinator.

Somebody above suggesting bringing back Doug P even after the massive improvement in the Jags performance since he got canned.

Maybe, and I mean this with all due respect, this board doesn't know their ass from their elbow when judging coaches?

I've got no problem with Siriani, if he calls the plays. If he can't do that, we will continue to have either a bad OC that will get fired or a good one that will get poached.

There are no cap ramifications for coaching contracts, so I doubt teams are all that worried about changing directions when things aren't working out.

I get what you're saying, but coordinators that become head coaches is a very different role. It's common knowledge that sometimes coordinators don't do well as a HC and then go back to a coordinator position and have success. So just with regard to your argument that coordinators who left to become HCs aren't having the same success, it's a really different argument. Because teams looking for a new HC usually are terrible and won very few games and are starting over. So I still think it's valid to say Siri needs strong coordinators.

There are a lot of problems on the offense, some of them have been persistent prior to this season. What is being done about them? The Head Coach is responsible to address every area. Siri has to be doing something right because it's hard to have sustained success in the NFL. He has a stacked roster, a great Defensive Coordinator and the best GM in the league, and one of the best owners. Nick talks about details and fundamentals and the offense has really lacked in those areas this season. Penalties, mistakes, game management issues, poor use of personnel in packages, the list goes on. I think he motivates the team well and there are probably a lot of process oriented things behind the scenes we don't get to see that he does well such as game prep throughout the week and practice routines. But between Nick and KP they can't figure out how to maximize all the talent on the offensive side of the ball. There are far too many examples posted in video review of things that have happened all season, the players comment on it in interviews, and most of them are fixable by coaching.

@Cochis_Calhoun I said it about Doug.

Foles was bad in St Louis so they should not have brought him back?

There are clear and obvious signs that Siri is a Switzer / Kotite type who is winning because of the support around him.

Every time he has to make a big coaching decision, it backfires horribly.

He has shown that he is a worthless liar who will protect Patullo at the cost of his team.

He has shown that he and Patullo do an Abbot and Costello routine to explain the grade Z clock management per snap.

He brought in Steichen who really helped develop Hurts and did wonders for Daniel Jones this year in Indy.

That's great.

He brought in Gannon who succeeded because of Howie's players and was brutally exposed in the Super Bowl.

Gannon gave out 130+ rating days to good QBs like it was Halloween candy.

The vermin took time in front of a camera to personally insult the fans who did not appreciate Gannon.

Gannon then robbed Philly of Fangio in 2023 by being a snake.

If you see the job Siri is doing this year with the offense (D is 100% Fangio) and you think him competent then the ass is what you sit on and the elbow is in the middle of your arm.

The process has been too long to put it just on Roseman and Fangio. Remember Sirianni took over a 4 win mess, and Doug’s teams topped double digit win seasons once. The team went to the bowl before Fangio got here. With that being the case, Nick’s lack of playcalling skill is really costing the team and the offense when they have to reset every season.

I think I figured out who Siri reminds me of. Its McNabb.

He has the thinnest skin in the NFL. Everything bothers him.

He has to fight the fans. (ours and other teams) He is constantly offended. He holds grudges.

He does not take things as seriously as he should. He is the clown on the sidelines instead of the leader.

Does that mean he will be playing air banjo in the tunnel before the playoff game?

Siri's version of air banjo was him celebrating in the tunnel after he and Patullo sucked again but Fangio carried him.

AJ was there for the react.
