Sirianni, who was previously the offensive coordinator of the Indianapolis Colts, has also helped oversee the progression of quarterback Jalen Hurts. In their second year together, Hurts was the MVP runner-up as the Eagles posted a 14-3 regular-season record in 2022. They reached the Super Bowl that year as well, but lost to the Kansas City Chiefs.
It appeared that the Eagles would get back to the Super Bowl in 2023. They went 10-1 to open that season, but lost five of their last six regular-season games to finish second in the NFC East. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers soundly defeated the Eagles in the opening round of the postseason that year.
There were some calls for Sirianni to be fired after the team unraveled toward the end of the 2023 season. Philadelphia opted to keep him, but he had to reshuffle his staff. He hired Kellen Moore as offensive coordinator and Vic Fangio to run the defense.
Sirianni’s job still wasn’t entirely safe, though, in the opening weeks of the 2024 season. The team got out to a 2-2 start and didn’t look overly impressive in its wins through the first half of the season. In Week 6 win against the Cleveland Browns, Sirianni was seen taunting Eagles fans, drawing criticism from local media.
However, he and the Eagles righted the ship in the second half of the season. They won 12 of their final 13 regular-season games, with their only loss coming to a playoff-bound Washington Commanders team as Hurts left that game early due to a concussion.
Eagles vs. Cowboys will be the NFL season opener
Philadelphia mostly rolled through the postseason as well. The Eagles won three of their four postseason games by double-digits, including Super Bowl LIX, where they got their revenge on the Chiefs by winning 40-22.
The Eagles have been able to retain most of their players this offseason, with edge rusher Josh Sweat and defensive tackle Milton Williams being their most notable losses. So, Philadelphia appears set to at least make a run to repeat in 2025, and its head coach will have some long-term security this time around.
