Even then it doesn’t guarantee that you’ll keep your job for much longer.
The Eagles fired Doug Pederson just 3 seasons after winning a Super Bowl.
Meanwhile, it looks like Mike Tomlin has a job for life in Pittsburgh.
Either way, it’s a cut throat business.
All of this is to say that Nick Sirianni is replaceable.
But Nick Sirianni hasn’t, and he hasn’t earned that benefit.
They’ll bring up the fact that Sirianni has brought the Eagles to the playoffs in 3 straight seasons.
That he’s taken then to the Super Bowl.
That they were 10-1 this season before the aforementioned historically terrible collapse.
And what does all of that get you?
This was a show me year for Nick Sirianni.
It was his first year without Jonathan Gannon and Shane Steichen.
Such is life in the NFL.
Do we really need to talk about the past 7 weeks to evaluate how that shit ended up?
Don’t get me wrong, the 10-1 start was fine.
But what exactly did Nick Sirianni do?
I guess he instilled a culture of winning and just getting the job done by any means necessary.
A culture where you just find ways to win football games.
Which was great, until it wasn’t.
I think everybody can agree that the 49ers game broke the Eagles.
It shattered them physically and emotionally.
They were never even close to the same team after that, and the results speak for themselves.
But this is who he is.
He is an unserious man who is unfit to lead a team through adversity.
I’m a massive Jalen guy.
But I have no problem admitting he was bad this year.
Whichever one it is doesn’t really matter.
Because the thing about Jalen Hurts is that he’s making a $255 million.
And if he doesn’t have confidence in Sirianni’s offense?
Well then you’re just lighting that $255 million on fire because the relationship is broken beyond repair.
you might replace Nick Sirianni within a day.
Replaceability is really the main point here.
If you took Nick Sirianni away from this Eagles team this year, would they have been any worse?
I don’t think so.
He doesn’t call plays.
His offense gave you absolutely nothing this year.
He lost the confidence of his quarterback.
His locker room was as divided as ever.
He couldn’t get guys to play hard.
I just don’t know what to tell you.
Does Nick Siriannideserveto keep his job?
I mean…I don’t love seeing people get fired, so I guess I’ll say maybe.
But did Nick Sirianni earn the ability to keep his job?
Not a fucking chance.
So if he doesn’t get fired, then none of us should ever get fired again.
