Jay Glazer: Nick Sirianni is not on the hot seat

Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has not gotten off to the strongest of starts to his tenure in Philadelphia. His defense and defensive coordinator are hot messes; his offense is boring and unimpressive; his second-year quarterback is struggling and carrying the offense at the same time; his team is 2–4.

However, he is just six games into his first year in Philadelphia, and three of his team’s four losses are to the Cowboys, Chiefs, and Buccaneers. Fans are frustrated due to the slow start, and a certain Philadelphia radio station helped flame rumors that Sirianni could already be on the hot seat. Such a move would be unprecedented, and NFL insider Jay Glazer threw water on them on Monday:

"No. Not at all. Listen, he’s a first-year head coach there, and I know Philadelphia is tough, but he’s not on the hot seat this early on. But that’s what happens in Philly, right? Just want to say, ‘Oh my gosh, we’re losing,’ but no. They’re not going to fire him after year one.”

 
The Eagles do not have a very good roster and have seemed to be pretty self-aware about the team entering a "retool” year, stopping short of calling it a complete rebuild. So, it’s unlikely that the front office would be quick to pull the plug on a first-year head coach who inherited a flawed roster and lost to three playoff teams during the first six games of his coaching tenure.

Jeffrey Lurie, Howie Roseman, and the Eagles are going to be patient with Nick Sirianni. Unless the team goes 3–14 and Sirianni looks completely lost, he will be back for 2022.

Nor should he be.  He is 6 games into his head coaching career.  I’m sure Lurie and Roseman knew he would be on a learning curve when they offered him the position.  He may be making mistakes with the play calling (which hopefully he’ll learn from and correct) but he also hasn’t exactly been helped by a tough schedule to start the season and a lot of injuries (once again).

I wonder how much of the game planning is for evaluation purposes.  The skewing of the play calling toward passes could mean that the brass wants to see how well Hurts performs in the passing part of the game - which is the more important part in the NFL today.

Like they are purposely putting him in the worst position possible to succeed.  Hmmmmm

I just have a feeling this is either Sirianni’s idea of an offensive concept or Lurie is directing a pass happy attack that would be employed regardless of who is playing QB … we could trade for Rodgers in the off-season and still call for 85-90% passing.

Lurie isn't the kind of owner to panic. He's not going to rush in to a decision. But he should be demanding answers to certain things. He should be demanding that things start to change and look different because this isn't working right now. This doesn't look like a plan that's going to turn around anytime soon because its a bad and a flawed plan.

Not surprising.  He is trying to run his system with a highly flawed player at the #1 position to affect success and a roster full of mediocre picks.  Those are the changes that I want to see soon.

Since they were down to an unqualified and grossly inexperienced candidate as the only one willing to take the job, they are forced to keep him and act like they mined a shiny nugget. Problem is it may well be fool's gold.
