Nick Sirianni Deserves A Chance From Fans In 2024
I have said many times that Nick Sirianni did a very poor job in 2023. He is the main reason the Eagles collapsed and then couldn’t pull the nose up. All the heat he has taken about last year is fair. The Eagles have zero path to the heights we all expect if he doesn’t do better in 2024.
I do think the rhetoric is going too far now though now that OTAs have begun. Sirianni has a chance to turn things around, and I am willing to give him the chance.
Nick Sirianni Was Not The Only Problem
Nick Sirianni was not the only guy to have a bad year last year. In fact, he may not have had the worst season. Howie Roseman was horrible in 2023. The defense was bad because of bad players that he picked. Bringing back James Bradberry was a horrible decision. Letting TJ Edwards leave was a terrible move.
While Sirianni takes the heat for it, Howie is the one who made the decision to fire Sean Desai. The defense got significantly worse after Roseman hired Matt Patricia even though the schedule got easier. We all knew it then, and we know it now. Yet, we have forgiven Howie for his many failures. Why can’t we give Sirianni a shot?
Jalen Hurts took a step back in 2023. He wasn’t bad, but he wasn’t at the MVP level he was in 2022. He went from 6 interceptions to 15. Remember when he and AJ Brown freelanced at the end of the Seattle game? His perfect leadership record up to that point took a hit. The cliches he normally used stopped working. He also couldn’t lead them out of the issues, just like Sirianni. We all believe in Hurts still, as we should.
I am not saying that Nick Sirianni is going to bounce back. He didn’t do a good job last year and will have to adjust to being the CEO coach. He deserves an open mind though. He has the same chance to bounce back as Howie and Hurts has. I am rooting for him, and you should be too.
