Are the Eagles Really Ready to Move On From Nick Sirianni? Here’s What We Know
The Philadelphia Eagles are no strangers to drama, but the latest round of speculation surrounding head coach Nick Sirianni has fans on edge-and glued to every word coming out of ESPN insider Adam Schefter’s mouth.
Let’s set the stage. The Eagles just wrapped up an 11-6 season, good enough to claim a second straight NFC East title.
But their playoff run was short-lived, ending with a gut-punch 23-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the Wild Card Round. That defeat capped off a season that felt like a roller coaster-flashes of dominance, stretches of inconsistency, and a locker room that never quite seemed fully in sync.
In the immediate aftermath of the playoff exit, Sirianni made his first big move: parting ways with offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo. That decision alone raised eyebrows, but it was Adam Schefter’s recent comments on 97.5 The Fanatic that really poured gasoline on the fire.
“Maybe it’ll be even more than that by next week,” Schefter said, hinting that the Eagles’ shakeup might not stop with the offensive coordinator position. “Maybe it’ll be even more than a discussion in an offensive coordinator. We’ll see.”
That vague but suggestive quote was more than enough to send Eagles fans into a frenzy. Social media lit up with speculation that Sirianni himself could be on the chopping block. Some fans are openly calling for change, while others are just trying to read between the lines of Schefter’s cryptic tease.
But here’s the thing: firing Sirianni now would be a head-scratcher.
Yes, expectations were sky-high this year. And yes, the second-half collapse was hard to watch.
But let’s not forget the bigger picture. Sirianni has led the Eagles to the playoffs every year since taking over in 2021.
That’s a feat only one other team-the Buffalo Bills-can claim over that stretch. And while this year didn’t end with confetti, the Eagles still won 11 games in a season clouded by internal friction and nonstop speculation about A.J.
Brown’s future.
Let’s also not overlook the fact that Sirianni signed a multi-year extension just last year. That kind of commitment doesn’t typically get reversed overnight-especially not without a clear successor lined up.
Most of the top head coaching candidates have already been scooped up by other franchises. If the Eagles were planning to make a change, the window to do it cleanly may have already closed.
Could things change down the line? Absolutely.
If the Eagles stumble again in 2026, the pressure will only intensify. But right now, there’s little concrete evidence that Sirianni is on his way out.
Schefter’s comments may point to more moves coming, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the head coach is one of them.
For now, it’s a waiting game in Philly. The front office clearly knows changes need to be made-but whether that means a new voice at the top or just a revamped staff underneath Sirianni remains to be seen.
One thing’s for sure: the Eagles’ offseason just got a whole lot more interesting.
