At the NFL’s Annual League Meeting, the owner of the Philadelphia Eagles, Jeffrey Lurie, shared his crucial opinion on why he is keeping head coach, Nick Sirianni after the Eagles faced historic collapse in their last campaign.
The Eagles were surpassed during the concluding period of the 2023 season and dropped six of their final seven games. They also lost in the first round of the playoffs. However, despite the changes in coaching staff, the head coach remains in his position.
The owner at the Annual Meeting disclosed, regarding the head coach as per NBC Sports Philadelphia, “The things with Nick I have to say were really impressive were wanting to truly improve the ingredients of the offense, truly improve who was gonna — in terms of leading the offense and the direction it would go. Wanted to be much more innovative, much more dynamic. Of course bring the things that brought us a lot of success, but very open to finding the best possible offensive coordinator, and the same with defensive coordinator.”

He further continued, “And the same with defensive coordinator. He’s an offensive head coach more but he recognized that Vic Fangio was somebody that would be an outstanding defensive coordinator for us. I mean we talked about his systems for years and all the people that you know he developed and now we have the guy that really kind of fathered the certain approach to defense.”
“And so Nick’s conscious desire to have top-notch coordinators under him really drove a lot of the strategy and he was hell-bent on making sure we had the best. And you know, highly encouraged by his both analysis of where we’re at, no excuses, basically a fundamental understanding of what needs to be better than the last five or six weeks of the season and not only a return to our championship caliber performance and execution, but improve on that too. Not just go back to what we were, but try to be better than what we were in the really recent past.”
Sirianni will be heading into his fourth season with the Eagles and he was hired by the squad in 2021.
