eaglesfan0075 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think it's highly unlikely the Eagles let go of Nick Sirianni after this season given it's his first year in what was expected to be a rebuild (only way I see that happening this year is if he pulls a Chip Kelly and alienates the players with his ego). He appears to be learning from *some* of his mistakes at least, for a rookie head coach. I know Jonathan Gannon was considered by some to be a "hot name" in coaching circles at the time of the hire, but having a rookie DC on top of a rookie HC was probably too much of a gamble to begin with. The defense looks worse than the offense and it's not like the offense is exactly crushing it out there right now. If Mike Zimmer is let go by the Vikings he'd be a very good pickup since he runs a 4-3. Vic Fangio would also be a solid choice if he is let go by the Broncos, but Fangio would likely convert the scheme to a 3-4, meaning a longer rebuild on defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwahu Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I’d love Todd Bowles back in Philly, though he is clearly being primed for the HC role Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_EaglesFan89 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I think it's such a shame that Gannon has looked so lost and so useless. He came in with a lot of hype and was a hot candidate for a lot of other teams not just us. But to be honest he's pretty much been a disaster so far. His scheme is non existent (when he did say he didn't have a scheme but it wasn't meant to be like this) and his play calling lacks creation and aggression. He's got to go.

Vlad67 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 I would change the word veteran to competent, but I agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Funny enough, we had an experienced and successful DC for the past several seasons and hated him too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question is does he still have it being out of the game for so many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, neither Sirianni nor Gannon were good hires, they simply don't know the X's and O's well enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
