Nick Sirianni’s play calling was too conservative last season.
The Philadelphia Eagles had one of the remarkable collapses in recent NFL history in 2023. After starting 10-1, they lost five of their last six regular season games and barely put up a fight in a wild card loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
A week after their season ended, offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, who was the quarterback coach during the team's Super Bowl run the previous year, was fired. Head coach Nick Sirianni remained and Kellen Moore was brought in to run the offense.
What they were doing on offense was running the ball, especially inside the 30-yard line according to Daniel. Russini continued, saying it was on the head coach. "It was Nick Sirianni's show. Everything you saw on that field was Sirianni. And from just having a few discussions with people in Philadelphia it just seems that Nick just wanted to do it his way. And he's the head coach. If that's what he wants to do..."
At this point Daniels pointed out that Sirianni had bags under his eyes by the end of the season and maybe calling plays is too much responsibility for a head coach. Both Russini and Daniel agreed that the team was too conservative last season. Again, maybe Moore can help with that.Stephen Douglas is a Senior Writer on the Breaking & Trending News Team at Sports Illustrated.
