It's crazy to think that an NFL coach can win a Super Bowl just a few years ago and get fired. However, as we've seen over the past few years in nearly all professional sports, that's genuinely the case.
This is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, and if coaches aren't doing what's needed on all fronts, they'll be on the hot seat.
That's especially true for a team like the Philadelphia Eagles, who are expected to win year in and year out.
The Eagles, however, are hopeful that things will go back to what we're all used to seeing, as things weren't great a year ago. The Eagles were still the best team in a tough division, had a chance to win a Super Bowl, and more, but ultimately didn't do so. For that reason and more, many consider Nick Sirianni a potential coach on the hot seat.
“Similar to LaFleur, Sirianni's job would seem to be in no immediate danger. He has a Super Bowl victory, two NFC championship wins, three NFC East titles and a 59-26 regular-season record in his five years.
“There was major disappointment last season, though, after the Eagles lost at home to San Francisco in the wild-card round. A bounceback performance, including a solid postseason run, is expected, even without A.J. Brown as Jalen Hurts' go-to receiver in new coordinator Sean Mannion's offense. Sirianni was on the hot seat entering the 2024 season after the Eagles started 10-2, faded down the stretch and got blown out by Tampa Bay in the wild-card round. He followed that by leading Philadelphia to a Super Bowl victory. Sirianni and the Eagles — and their fans — would certainly sign for a repeat of that rebound,” Dennis Waszak wrote.
I don't think it's crazy to say that Sirianni is on the hot seat at the moment. I don't know if it's fair, but I understand the reasoning behind it.
Ultimately, this is a guy who has been a good head coach in Philadelphia and seems to be liked by his players. However, he does have a bit of an attitude, and that can run dry for organizations when they aren't winning at the level they're expected to.
That's ultimately something that will come into play here over the next few months.
