I actually thought he was better in many of those areas earlier in his coaching career. This year … not so much. Almost like he is losing his feel for the game or was clouded by frustration or the pressure from the expectations coming off a Super Bowl winning season and knowing we were heavy favorites to repeat was impacting his decision making.

I watched the last 2 episodes of Hard Knocks. Even Nick seemed like he lost enthusiasm and confidence in KP. On the sidelines he was giving him instructions to start passing, sounded deflated. I don't know why he didn't just make a change earlier in the season but one of his traits for better or worse is loyalty. Glad KP is gone.

So thinking positively, a new OC who can truly run the offense should free Nick up. Some have argued why Nick can't contribute to fix the offense but that's another issue.

I think there's a fundamental problem here. It's one thing if our head coach was a Harbaugh or a Bill Parcells etc. But Nick is a nobody. Howie and Lurie picked him cuz they had no better choice for a yes man type of coach.

Now, what kind of famous or well established OC would want to work under someone like that? Yes I know Nick has won a Superbowl but we all know that every time he reached the SB it was because of his coordinators. Take those away and he couldn't even win a playoff game. What does that say to any potential hires? Ie we won a SB because of me but this idiot gets all the credit? That's why they all leave a take another coaching job as soon as they can. Fangio is the exception because he's not interested to be a head coach.

He, or should I say they (hoping Lurie and Howie are involved with this hire and potentially have final say), absolutely should hire someone who we can give full autonomy over the offense to. Let him run the offense as he sees fit and not be forced to try to recycle Sirianni's flawed scheme. That way Nick won't need to contribute.

His roster is top 3 in the NFL the last 3 seasons.. he just lost to a literally mutilated SF team, at home, after blowing the chance at the 2nd seed with poor red zone decisions.

How many of those AFC teams have a bottom 10 offense with a top 5 defense and two pro bowl WRs, an All-Pro HB after winning a Super Bowl?

The obsession comes when the team is failing in the same ways every single week, and the HC isn’t competent enough to Call his Own Plays - or hire someone who’s competent at designing plays.

We wouldn’t care who called the plays if the offense could score touchdowns for more than 1/3 of the game or completed passes for 10+ yards routinely. This is the only team in the NFL I’ve seen be shaken and terrified of a 3rd and 8.

He’s a heck of a head coach because he has an amazing roster and elite talent - before Fangio his defense was in shambles - before Moore and after Steichen he’s offense was limited and predictable.

What’s he good at? Look at the 4th downs and crucial late-game strategy that shot ourselves in the foot over and over all season. Going for it on 4th in the red zone with your backups was a bonehead move.

Plenty of chances for him to show ANY ability to make significant strides in creative solutions and learning from mistakes and he didn’t. He just sat in the back seat while he watched his offense sputter into the gutter.

I think he's an awesome leader, a great teacher and he's very good handling people. Those are excellent traits to have as a HC IMO. He's not that good with X's and O's, but that's fine because he delegates, he doesn't have a huge ego, he's flexible and he trusts his coaches and players. And he has shown a tremendous ability to learn from his mistakes, you just need to take a look at how he has adapted to different situations over his 5-year tenure, making the playoffs every single season and winning one damn SB! Of course, it doesn't work all the time; we can all make mistakes from time to time. Players' talent by itself never gives you a Lombardi in this league. The coaches and the culture they install play a big big part.

In my mind, he's probably the best coach we've ever had. I don't need you to agree with me, it doesn't mean one of us is right and the other is wrong though, we only have different opinions and I respect yours.

He's an immature brat of a man who yells and screams at his own fans, and fans of other teams. And Refs.

He's a jerk boy.

But I'm glad he's our HC. ❤️😀

Can I ask a serious question? Like a serious, serious question?

Why is it that people bend reality to dunk on Sirianni? Of the defense and offense in 2023, the offense was the best unit by far. They had an achilles heel, but they were a top 6 unit. If we had the 2023 unit in 2025, we probably win a couple playoff games, and that's even with DeAndre Swift being pretty mid. With Barkley, we very likely win a couple playoff games.

However instead he had the 30th ranked defense, and Hurts couldn't stop throwing the ball to the other team. Can anyone explain to me, not just the person I'm quoting, but anyone, why people falsely remember 2023 for Brian Johnson's offense being awful (it wasn't, it was mid but had an Achilles heel), and not the defense being so bad that even Chip Kelly would be furious? Anybody have answers for me? Collapse is collapse is collapse, but I'm not sure why it seems like every time it comes up, Brian Johnson is the target, and not Sean Desai.
