This is The Beginning of The End...

This is the beginning of the end. It feels like Nick Sirianni's days as the Eagles head coach are numbered. I'm your host, Colin Kelly. Welcome to Eagles Digest. In today's episode, we're going to dive into just exactly why I think it's inevitable Nick Sirianni will not be the Eagles head coach in 2027.

Thank you, as always, for your support. The Eagles find themselves in just an absolutely chaotic season. Nick Sirianni having to answer to the national ABC World News level of story. With regards to Jalen Hurts, his blood clot injury situation dates back to multiple games ago. First, when the Eagles hosted LA. and then first becomes uncovered in London and the Eagles this situation the explosive reporting on Monday coming out about Jalen Hurts from Tom Pelissero, Ian Rapoport about sleep about risk about it's just a chaotic situation to say the least and for Nick Sirianni to be thrown out there into the media the scrum of Philly reporters although even if it's virtual on Zoom to go out there like it's just your run-of-the-mill Monday following a game presser the Eagles are not oblivious to that they would have expected they know what was coming to get the PR just deflect and say we always prioritize our players understandably and we trust in our experts and our guys the doctors okay but to have just Nick Sirianni there as the head coach oh let's talk about the Panthers let's let's talk about Dallas on Monday that's organizational malpractice by let me be clear here by Jeffrey Lurie and Howie Roseman, Howie Roseman I don't understand how Sirianni gets put into this position in terms of taking this press conference solo facing the music at one point things get a little bit testy with Jeff McLean I I just don't understand for an organization that's run very well that is fully aware of public sentiment of public perception this story regarding Jalen Hurts it just something smells now let me be clear Nick Sirianni when asked on Tuesday morning on WIP when asked his view on if he thought it was unfair or being put in a brutal spot in terms of speaking alone on Monday's press conference no that's my job go in there every Monday and talk to the media through the media talk to the fans well hold on yeah that's exactly through the media reach reach out talk to the fans that is not what happened on that Monday presser the evasion the deflection the lack of leadership from those above Nick Sirianni from Howie Roseman in particular just throw him out there give me a break give me give us fans a break with this and to further to add to this presser Nick Sirianni the choice words ironically enough of saying look you guys can hear the statement what part of his response you know we look we always prioritize our players but we only fully back our staff the doctors understandably but then oh you guys can hear we put out the statement Hold on, hold on, we can't hear anything that's the point as fans we couldn't hear anything just from you Nick as the head coach a football coach who's not in charge of departments overseeing the hiring overseeing procedure we didn't get to hear anything this situation warranted more than a statement put out by Jalen's agent Nicole Lynn in conjunction with the team this situation called for more than that there's there's injuries I understand there's injuries like an ankle knee shoulder then there's a player's health and safety this type of injury the whole situation needed to be addressed and it what further adds to it for me we got word from Jonathan Jones via The Athletic about the NFL today on Tuesday The NFL concluded that the Eagles how the Eagles approached the situation with Jalen Hurts, clearing him to play with the blood clot the superficial blood clot at the time, was handled appropriately. so it was handled appropriately Why couldn't Howie Roseman go out there and just say, hey, we're not going to dive into any specifics, but we fully support our doctors. We fully prioritized Jalen's health every step of the way here. We ultimately came into determination that he was fit to play at that time with the information at hand. Jalen's doing okay. Just give a general update expressing any type of timeline, any type of general conduct. That's Howie Roseman's job to oversee things, and he just did not do that. He simply did not do that. And when I think about Howie making Nick effectively a lame duck in this situation, a fall guy, unfairly, in terms of hearing the music, facing the music, with very limited information being given to the public, or a lot at once, a lot of just chaos, a little bit interesting pronunciation there, a lot of chaos, so that, this is really sticking with me, this decision, clear decision to put Nick Sirianni out there alone. But then we think about what's next for this Eagles team, courtesy of Kalshi. This Eagles season forecasts up to just 6.6 wins. Thank you to Kalshi for sponsoring today's video.

You're buying yes or no contracts on the outcome of events related to the weather, politics, but of course sports like your Philadelphia Eagles. And you look at where things are, the forecast of this season, all the way down to a 6.6 win total. you effectively look at a no contract for the Eagles to get seven plus wins i don't see how the Eagles pick up five more wins on the schedule let alone even four this season is just going downhill fast, a 25 no trade and a 61% chance to pay 40 and 79 cents if you're interested in get 55 when you trade your first 25 using the code digest NFL in the pinned comment and link in the description let's talk about the schedule we know it's all divisional games coming up, a three in a row the eagles are not expected to win this game versus the Dallas Cowboys public sentiment my sentiment as well the eagles the state of this offense it's just not going to be good enough it's not going to be good enough for certainly Jeffrey Lurie in my view with sign off from Howie Roseman this things continue which there's no end in sight here with this offensive performance Nick Sirianni his job is in trouble couple it with actions on Monday just go out there yourself face the music you and only you as the football coach not a medical expert not the GM of this franchise the vice president the leader of this franchise effectively no Nick just go out yourself And you look what's on the horizon as far as the results on the field. Sean Mannion, let's put it in a different way. I don't see how Nick Sirianni is able to survive another offensive coordinator turnover. Good things just continue to stay the same, even if they just marginally improve over the rest of this season. There's just no way. There's no viability in being the next, the 2027 head coach, to be clear. You look at this Eagles offense, 30th in yards per game, 26th in passing yards per game, 29th in rushing 28th in points per game the Eagles offense has just been brutal absolutely brutal and it doesn't look like things are really going to get better anytime soon you are without your franchise quarterback for the rest of this season Jalen again to you all the best in your recovery take your time with Tanner McKee got to be the starter for the foreseeable future I then start to think well hold on if the Eagles continue to not execute which of course falls on the head coach continue to be non-disciplined a fall guy at quarterback's gonna inevitably be made as well with Tanner McKee he's not in a position to succeed so who knows when a change is made to whomever whether it be Joe Milton as a leader in the clubhouse we're running out of runway here as if the eagles haven't already guys i want to hear from you do you think do you expect Nick Sirianni to remain Eagles head coach in 2027 let me know your thoughts down below i think i've made it clear, I do not. The question is, does he make it through this regular season? Let me know, guys. As always, have a great one. I'll see you in the next one. Go Birds!
