Analysis: Eagles’ brass reaping what they sowed with Nick Sirianni

Why would you have a problem with Nick Siriannis sideline antics? Isnt it kind of very Philly? Philadelphia fans are suddenly sensitive after a group of them were chanting, Fire Nick! Fire Nick! during Sundays game against the Cleveland Browns at the Linc.

They couldnt handle the Eagles head coach barking back at them after the win, albeit a sloppy one.

Some critics say Siriannis behavior is a symptom of a larger issue, one of immaturity.

Most didnt say that during the Eagles Super Bowl run two years ago.

The problem occurs when you dont win, or use your children as distractions during a post-game press conference after beating a 1-5 team by four points coming off a bye.

With his three young kids by his side, Sirianni acted like he had just won the Super Bowl.

It seemed absurd on its face.

But for him, it was a huge win.

His hot seat had just gotten a little cooler in the last 45 minutes.

You want to be passionate and have energy, Sirianni said the next day, when he apologized for his sideline decorum, saying he should focus that energy on celebrating with team, not directing it at fans.

Its having that discernment of when to do that, he said.

I wish there was a playbook on stuff like that.

It would make the job a little bit easier to do.

But its not, so youve got to have the discernment and the wisdom of when to do it.

People ask, would Andy Reid behave the way Sirianni does on the sideline? Would Nick Nurse or Rob Thomson or even John Tortorella (well...)? No, of course they wouldnt.

Because thats not their personalities.

This is Nicks personality.

Nothing wrong with that as long as you win.

Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman, who somehow are untouchable from criticism, hired Sirianni.

When Doug Pederson was here, they wanted him to get rid of offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

Pederson fought to keep him, and the Eagles went on to win their first and only Super Bowl the next season, with Reich as quarterback whisperer for Carson Wentz and Nick Foles.

And after Jeff and Howie fired Pederson, they chose Sirianni, Reichs right-hand man in Indianapolis.

What does that tell you? They dont always know what theyre doing.

Lurie is a low-key meddling owner.

Ever since firing Chip Kelly, he and Roseman often havent allowed their head coaches to select their staffs.

They grill the head coach after every game, including after wins, about individual play calls.

These are some of the reasons Pederson got fed up.

This isnt a stable organization.

Quarterback Jalen Hurts has had to learn four playbooks in five years.

The only thing stable is the micromanagement by Lurie and Roseman.

If you want to be mad about Sirianni, blame them.

Sirianni, a couple of times this year (after the Browns game and the New Orleans game), has said how happy is that Vic Fangio is our defensive coordinator.

Thats Sirianni shouting out to his bosses, because theyre the ones who hired Fangio.

Nick didnt.

He wasnt allowed to.

Sirianni didnt hire Kellen Moore, either.

Both Moore and Fangio are Lurie and Rosemans potential head coaches in waiting.

That reveals theyre not entirely confident in Sirianni.

The Eagles had stability under Andy Reid until things went off the rails after 14 years.

Theyve been to two Super Bowls in the last seven-plus seasons, winning one of them.

Thats an accomplishment.

But how long will Rosemans shell game of changing coaches hold up? Well see how this season plays out.

But if Sirianni comes up short, its time for the Eagles to hire a strong head coach and give him autonomy.

Hire a coach and let him do his job..
