time2rock Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 He is obviously as raw as they come as a HC. We are nearing the half way mark of his first season ... he does not appear to be learning anything from the mistakes he continually makes. He can only counter with the "self assessment" talk and falling back on what the analytics says they should do in a given situation. Accepting that holding penalty by LV when declining would have put them at 4th and 4 (and LV's punting team on the field!) is just one example in a long list of mistakes HCs should not be making. So, does he get a second season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I am guessing "YES", because doing something else requires Howie and Lurie to admit that they failed with the selection. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brkmsn Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I'm not married to the idea. As of this point, it's easy to lose a team if things continue as is. If that happens, finding a replacement is a must. If this team somehow turns things around, I would imagine the opposite would be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I voted yes, would prefer it was no, but it is not a simple question. He is a yes man for Lowie, he would have to be the worst coach in NFL history to get fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I hear ya, I would guess he is still here next year too for no other reason than Lowie would look foolish for not getting it right with this hire. Not to mention, there wasn't a lot of interest from legitimate candidates this last go round ... firing a HC after just one season will limit the pool even more.

Portyansky Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I said no bc it should be no. But I think they will give him another year, but they shouldn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NOTW Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Too early to answer this question. What if he adjusts and improves as a coach? If they end up winning some games and showing progress there's no way Lurie fires him. They will call it rookie learning, dealing with injuries and if Hurts doesn't improve blame him and get a new QB. Siri has to keep losing and also lose the locker room to be fired. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think Siri will and probably should get another year unless as you say he clearly loses the locker room. Gannon is a different story. Kind of feels like he has already lost the locker room. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipples Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Was a dreaming or did Lurie/Howie not already put that idea to bed and say that Siri will be back next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliEagle Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yep. There's no way that Lurie and Howie will admit they made a mistake after one season. They will fire Gannon, maybe during the bye week. That will be it. Then, they will go draft or acquire "Nick's QB". They will probably keep Hurts as the backup because Howie won't want to admit a 2nd round bust QB. Hurts will stick around like JJAW for a few years.

The Blackfish Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Yes, but Gannon may not make the week, and shouldn’t. How do you pay Sweat and Fletch all that money for rushing the passer and have both guys out of position? Gannon to Fletch " you just have to hold the double team for 3 yards backwards on a running play, then Wilson or Singleton will make the stop.” Fletch to Gannon " I don’t think this works, Singleton and Wilson are 5 yards behind me” Gannon to Fletch " you crybaby ****, you can’t tackle the RB off the double team?” Fletch to Gannon " wait what?” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kentwo Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I wouldn't like it, but based on prior experiences I think they fire Gannon and some other lower coaches, but leave Siri in place. Then maybe they bring in some veteran guys to help him (like what they should've done this year.) I think he is terrible and way over his head, but in the past they generally give their coaches more time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah- if every Eagles fan didn't spend one more $$ on this team until Lurie and Howie hire REAL NFL coaches, you will see change. If you don't hit Lurie in is $$$$, nothing changes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
