The late-season struggles of the Philadelphia Eagles under head coach Nick Sirianni have raised questions about his future with the team. Despite a strong start in the 2023 NFL season, the Eagles faced a downturn in their performance, losing five of their final six games, including significant defeats to the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys. This led to changes in defensive play-calling and reports of discontent within the locker room.
As the team’s lead in the NFC East slipped away, speculation intensified about Sirianni’s job security. There were even reports suggesting that team owner Jeffrey Lurie might part ways with Sirianni if the Eagles experienced an unexpected loss in the Wild Card Round. While such rumors are speculative, Lurie has not publicly addressed or conveyed his opinion on Sirianni’s future within the organization.

ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter discussed the ongoing uncertainty, stating, “There continues to be speculation about Sirianni’s future despite the fact that the Eagles have gone to the playoffs in three straight seasons. The organization doesn’t believe it’s substantiated, but the wild card to all of this, of course, is what does the owner Jeffrey Lurie think? And nobody really knows that.”
Surprisingly, Lurie has not taken steps to dispel the drama surrounding the team through a public statement, adding an extra layer of intrigue to their upcoming NFL Playoff game against the Buccaneers on Monday night. The lack of clarity from the team owner has fueled speculation about the head coach’s future, creating additional uncertainty as the Eagles head into the postseason.
