Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni noticeably absent from recent NFL ranking
Okay, if nobody else is going to stick up for Nick Sirianni, doggone it, we’re going to do so. We get it. The City of Brotherly Love is a tough place to work as part of any sporting profession. Come on though. The Philadelphia Eagles can do a lot worse than our guy Nick. We present exhibit A as evidence.
He was one of seven new NFL head coaches hired in 2021. One need only look at the list to know how that turned out. Take a gander.
Nick… Brandon Staley… Urban Meyer… Dan Campbell… Arthur Smith… Robert Saleh… David Culley… Notice anything? Four of those guys were fired. Only two have led their teams to the postseason (Sirianni and Campbell). The other is Robert Saleh. He has yet to lead the Jets to a postseason berth in three seasons as the guy in New York.

Okay, so, you have exhibit A in your mind. Here’s exhibit B if it pleases the court. Sirianni, to his credit, can boast about something that Campbell can’t. This is a big one.
Coach has led Philly to the postseason during each of his first three years on the job. Again, no one else hired during his hiring cycle can say the same. That, however, doesn’t seem to be enough to earn the respect of one of our favorite platforms.
We have got you covered if you’re searching for some reading material. Pro Football Focus recently ranked the NFL’s top ten returning coaches. Take a look at this list. Tell us if you notice anything. It probably won’t take you long to crack the case.
