The Super Bowl champions will have continuity on the sidelines for years to come. The Eagles announced on Monday that head coach Nick Sirianni has agreed to an extension. 
“Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago,” a statement from owner Jeffrey Lurie reads in part. “His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team. I am excited for what the future holds for the Philadelphia Eagles.”
Sirianni led the Eagles to a playoff berth during each of his first three seasons at the helm. Philadelphia won nine, 14 and 11 games during that span, an indication of the team’s potential with the former Colts offensive coordinator in place. Despite that success – including a trip to the Super Bowl during his second year in charge – Sirianni’s future was a talking point entering the 2024 campaign.
A late-season collapse in 2023 resulted in a wild-card exit and another round of coordinator changes in Philadelphia. General manager Howie Roseman played a key role in the hiring of Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, something which added to doubts about Sirianni’s tenure in the organization. Tension with quarterback Jalen Hurts arose as a talking point in August, but with a new OC in place (one with more autonomy than Moore’s predecessor, Brian Johnson), that was seen as less of an issue for much of the 2024 season.
Of course, the Eagles’ win in Super Bowl LIX – over the Chiefs, the team which beat them two years prior – dramatically helped Sirianni’s case for a new deal. Earlier last month, Lurie made it clear his intention was to extend the 43-year-old, so today’s news comes as no surprise. Expectations will remain high in 2025 and beyond despite Moore taking over as the Saints’ new head coach.
Between the regular and postseason, the Eagles have won 54 games under Sirianni; that is the second highest total for a head coach in their first four seasons. In the Super Bowl era, only John Madden and George Allen own higher winning percentages than Sirianni’s .706 mark amongst coaches with at least 50 games of experience. That track record has put to rest questions about a change on the sidelines in Philadelphia for the foreseeable future.
Hurts and many other members of the Eagles’ Super Bowl core are still in place entering 2025. Another strong performance on both sides of the ball would give them a chance at competing for a third Lombardi Trophy or at least remaining a contender in the NFC as they have been for much of Sirianni’s tenure. With Roseman’s future assured, Philadelphia should not experience major alterations at the head coach or general manager spots any time soon.
I’ve never seen a bad coach have such success. He’s basically a beared cheerleader, who claps back at fans.
I’m glad you aren’t our GM or owner.
Oh stop it, you were screaming for his head on WIP like all other eagles fans for like almost 1 and and half till like week six of this year when they kicked it into gear. Your success is because of king howie and only his. Maybe with a small tribute to the dc as well. You know and I know nick is a bottom 10 coach in this league. It doesn’t take away from the talent and success of the franchise, they are arguably the best or second beast run franchise in the league. But I’d argue they are as good as they are in spite of him.
A bottom 10 coach in this league? Laughable take. Please stop
I’d argue that you have no argument. Zero
He’s a successful coach with a winning culture. Stay salty
Him and Ryan Day were about to be fired.
Crazy how winning changes things.
Premature…….he’s a product of outstanding talent, they could be better with a competent coach…..scary better
They could be better with a true franchise QB as well but it’s never gonna happen.
Are you seriously saying Jalen Hurts is not a “true franchise quarterback” ?
Mike McCarthy had outstanding talent in Dallas. How’d that work out?
This whole “product of their talent” narrative is so lazy, lame and tiresome. Give the man his credit. Ask any player and they’d run through a wall for him. They embarrassed the NFL’s darling team on the grandest stage and that didn’t just come from talent. It’s called culture and that starts from the top
George Seifert and Barry Switzer (as an NFL HC) were products of their talent. I can give you more examples. Those are some SB winner off the top
Of my head. Can’t pretend it doesn’t exist. That’d be lazy, lame and tiresome.
I didn’t say it doesn’t exist. I’m saying as it pertains to Nick Sirianni
Barry Switzer inherited a Dallas team that won a Super Bowl to be a Jerry Jones yes man. Nick Sirianni inherited a team in turmoil with the fallout of the Pederson/Wentz era.
Gutted out a playoff birth with a first year starting quarterback. Brought a team back after one of the worst collapses in NFL history to dominate en route to a Super Bowl. To pretend that doesn’t exist and to put him in a conversation with Barry Switzer is lazy, lame and tiresome.
