5 Eagles Leaving Philadelphia in the New Year
By Cem Yolbulan
5. Nick Sirianni
Sirianni's contract runs through the end of the 2025 season. To avoid putting him in a lame duck situation, the Eagles would have to give him a contract extension after this season. How interested the Eagles management will be in doing so will depend on how far the team goes this postseason.
It's hard to argue that Sirianni hasn't been a success as the Eagles head coach. He is in the midst of leading Philadelphia to its fourth straight winning season and playoffs, including a Super Bowl appearance. Despite constantly being criticized, Sirianni has been getting results.
Sirianni is in a difficult situation as the Eagles head coach. When he is winning, his success is often attributed to the elite talent level of the roster. When he loses, the failure always falls on him.
At times, Sirianni certainly deserved a ton of blame. The epic collapse in the second half of the 2023 season was unacceptable. The locker room atmosphere and team chemistry have sometimes been less than ideal. But the Eagles have been a top-ten offensive unit for the past three seasons under him and it's hard to argue against a 46-20 record.
All that being said, if the Eagles don't make it past the first round, Sirianni will presumably not get a contract extension. If the team doesn't feel like he is the right coach for this team going forward, they will likely replace him in the offseason.
