Sad news: Philadelphia eagles head coach just suspended his star player due to…

 

PHILADELPHIA: As they say, “you know what,” everyone has an opinion. Regarding head coach Nick Sirianni’s future and the Philadelphia Eagles, who are in free fall heading into the playoffs, rumors from a few well-known insiders have caused the national scene to get even more agitated.

The Eagles owner, however, would like not to be associated with a decision about Sirianni’s future based on one game in Tampa without A.J. Brown and a hurt Jalen Hurts.

Those who have already turned the 180 degrees on Sirianni argue that any loss against the Sunshine State on Monday is simply the last step in a historic collapse that would have changed a 10-1 game into an 11-7 game at breakneck speed, leaving the head coach looking as though he had no answers.
Owner of the Eagles Jeffrey Lurie is contributing $1 million to Penn Medicine in an effort to stop the COVID-19 virus from spreading.

When you consider that Sirianni started brewing the idea during the Eagles’ bye week at 8-1 and first took away Desai’s autonomy on third downs prior to the game in Dallas on December 10, when the Eagles defense allowed the potent Cowboys to convert 9-of-16 opportunities (56.3 percent) in a 33-13 loss, the unprecedented move of moving defensive play-calling from Sean Desai to Matt Patricia at 10-3 looks even worse.
Overall, the third-down defense has improved over the course of four complete games under Patricia and one additional game in which he increased his involvement. However, this improvement was tempered by lower competition during the final month, and it is arguable that the defense deteriorated even more overall, particularly when evaluating on the level of the opposition.
Sirianni maintains that he was the one who made the decision, but many have questioned where the decision originated from given the history of Lurie and General Manager Howie Roseman interfering with coaching choices during the Doug Pederson era.

Regarding Sirianni, all the information we’ve gathered since Desai was replaced by Patricia indicates that it started with the coach, but Sirianni effectively reaffirmed that such actions require the consent of Lurie and Roseman in order to be taken in Philadelphia.

Sirianni remarked, “I talk to those guys about everything.” However, Mr. Lurie and Howie have always told me that I have to do what I believe is best to help us win football games because you are obligated to do so. We are here to support and have your back. We will support you no matter what you do or who you are; we are always there for you.
