Tim McManus: Eagles firing Sirani is in play

[nightrain]

I'm not going to miss that mug.

 

[KJJ]

Would be a bad move. Can’t imagine candidates would be too enthusiastic about the position when there’s absolutely zero job security.

There’s absolutely no job security with any head coaching job. Head coaches have been fired after one season. That’s life as an NFL head coach.

 

[Teague31]

They should hire Garrett and trust the process

Dont speak too soon. McCarthy’s job isnt safe either

In my opinion that is only because Jerry wants to retain Quinn and may need to promote him to do that.

 

[Cowboys22]

The only way this makes sense is if something happened behind the scenes and he is right in the middle of whatever it is that fractured that lockeroom and for the most part, the players are siding with the other party. The man got them to a super bowl 11 months ago. You didn’t move on from that because of a bad 5-6 game stretch unless he caused it and obviously has lost his players. The team has been playing as if that’s the case so we will see.

Which is another example of why he is a horrible gm/owner.

Fire a coach that has won 12 games in 3 consecutive years to promote a failed head coach

 

[Havic]

Bad move unless he has completely lost control

 

[Risen Star]

A good owner would fix that GM problem.

Absolutely.

It's always a riot to read how Jerry's a good Owner but a bad GM.

Well, when you frame it that way lol

If McCarthy doesn't win Super Bowl that will be Jerry's "reason"

 

[Jipper]

where are all the people on this board that have continually said how many light years ahead of our organization the eagles management is? Jerry has certainly deserved his criticism over the years but for the last decade there has been so much more good and stability here than bad.

 

[darthseinfeld]

I don’t get how you could fire him when he’s been winning but aye maybe they win in spite of him.

If you believe his continued employment is going to be more a detriment going foward, that the black eye terminating him after a season will be, the sound thing to do is rip it off.

The real question here is why exactly is this in the mix. Has there been more going in behind the scenes than what has been leaked? If they do fire him, then that must mean that he has gotten utterly toxic

 

[Asklesko]

It's one bad year....

 

[PA Cowboy Fan]

McCarthy wins 12 games for 3 straight years and get's fired. Garrett goes 8-8 and loses the division to each of our rivals three years straight and we get stuck with him for nearly a decade more. Only in Jerry world. lol

Yea and its dumb. Instead of looking at his flawed roster, he will blame the coach. Because you know, hes doing such a great job

 

[TexasHillbilly]

Who would want to go there and take over that team, with Hurts at QB.

Ruthless my brother, just ruthless.

 

[darthseinfeld]

Yea and its dumb. Instead of looking at his flawed roster, he will blame the coach. Because you know, hes doing such a great job

Maybe he will hire Sean Payton, who had almost exactly the same resume as McCarthy before he failed in Denver and McCarthy succeeded in Dallas

 

[Jake]

I really doubt that is the case.

The Eagles lost both their OC and DC last offseason from their Super Bowl team so the most logical starting point for fixing their team should they not get back to the Super Bowl would be to hire a new OC and/or DC for next season.

The only reason you fire a head coach one year removed from a Super Bowl appearance would be because he's lost the team or he violated some NFL rules that could blow back on the team.

That may be the case. How do you fall from 10-1 to 1-5 without several major injuries? If they look flat again and get rolled by Tampa Bay that might be it.

There's too much talent on that roster to lose 6 of their last 7, and I'm not sure they beat the Giants for that one win if Taylor started at QB.

If the Eagles lose Monday night in the playoffs like they did last week against the Giants, it will get super ugly in Philly.

They better have all police and fire units ready to go.
