Insider claims Nick Sirianni of the Eagles should be concerned about his job security.
NFL expert Dan Graziano claims that if Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni loses against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday during Super Wild Card Weekend, his fear level might be very near to ten.
In an appearance on ESPN’s “Get Up” on Wednesday, Graziano hinted that the Eagles’ ownership would decide to sever ties with their third-year head coach, who led the team to the Super Bowl the previous year, if they lose to the Bucs.
“I think if the organization decides it’s gotten bad there, you know, inside the building culturally, all that kind of thing (he could be fired)” Graziano said. “I think they’ve shown in the past that they’re not afraid to move on. Doug Pederson was just two years removed from winning the Super Bowl, which no other coach in the history of the organization has ever done, and they got rid of him because of the way that season ended. So, I think it’s worth keeping an eye on if things go very badly for them Monday night in Tampa and you’re looking at the last two months and going this is not it.”
Not because of his coaching abilities per se—he is 34-17 in three seasons with three straight playoff appearances, one division title, and one Super Bowl appearance—but rather because of the growing hostility between the Eagles players and the coaching staff in the locker room, things began to go south for Sirianni.
After beginning the season 10-1, Philadelphia lost five of its final six games, blowing a 2.5-game lead against the Dallas Cowboys and its opportunity to win the NFC East again. The team moved play-calling responsibility from defensive coordinator Sean Desai to senior defensive assistant Matt Patricia during that time, and following consecutive losses to the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks in Weeks 14 and 15, wide receiver A.J. Brown declined to speak with reporters.
and 15.
Security Kevin Byard even went so far as to claim that the division in the Eagles locker room was the result of players leaking rumors to reporters rather than keeping things inside.
Things became so bad that Brown, in an attempt to get everyone in agreement with the coaching staff, held a players-only meeting and planned a team-building activity at an escape room.
