Is Nick Sirianni, the Eagles’ coach, fired? Despite baseless rumors, A.J. Brown Reveals Allegiance…
Being dismissed after a successful 10-1 start and a trip to the Super Bowl the following year?
That is the question that is no longer at the Novacare Complex, especially since the Philadelphia Eagles have lost four of their last five games and there are speculations that “locker room fractures” may have occurred.
The only coach in Philadelphia history to make the playoffs in his first three seasons is Nick Sirianni, with a 34-16 record. Should Eagles management ever think about cutting ties with him?
In his first public interview in recent weeks, All-Pro wide receiver AJ Brown made it clear that he was not happy with Sirianni or the coaching staff.
“You can be sure that there are things about Nick that he would like to alter, but loyalty is not one of them,” said Brown.I say that because when it concerns him, he has an explanation. And he takes the lion’s share of the blame because of his job. However, the coaches didn’t participate in any plays this season. It’s not the teachers’ fault. It is we who are doing this.
In light of the team’s recent difficulties, Brown also made it clear that he didn’t know why he was being singled out for “body-language problems,” even though he didn’t want to speak with the media in order to disperse more negativity across the facility.
“There’s a lot of frustration in this locker room,” Brown said. “I
I was shaking my head and exhibiting emotion, so why are you concentrating just on me? Everybody’s body language in that stadium expressed dissatisfaction. I don’t care about it.
A team in desperate need of answers was reassured by Brown’s statements on Wednesday. They had dropped their last game, 35-31, against the Arizona Cardinals, who had three victories at the time. They have now lost four of their previous five games.
The Eagles are still on course to make the playoffs for the third straight season, a feat they haven’t done too frequently, despite losing the game that cost them their lead in the NFC East.
This furthers the muddle concerning recent
talks of Sirianni’s tenure.
Why would a team that was having a late-season collapse change its head coach after winning 11 or more games for the second straight season? Would the plot change dramatically if the team were to win one or more postseason games? Besides, why would the plot about a coach change after just two games?
Other NFL clubs would love to have the kind of success that Sirianni and his club have had over the last three years. One poor month of play doesn’t take away from any of it.
