In Roob’s Observations: What do Eagles have to do in 2024 to save Nick Sirianni’s job? originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
A glimpse into Nick Sirianni’s future, a crazy Reggie White streak and a look back at Jalen Carter’s rookie year.
Roob’s 10 Random Eagles Observations never rests.
1A. What does Nick Sirianni have to do to keep his job beyond 2024? I think it’s pretty clear if the Eagles don’t win a playoff game this year, he’s gone. And he should be. Because if the Eagles lose in the wild-card round or don’t make the playoffs, then you’re looking at a team that reached a Super Bowl in 2022, finished 2023 with a 1-6 record and a blowout playoff loss and then failed to advance in the postseason again in 2024. That’s a trajectory Sirianni wouldn’t be able to survive. If the Eagles don’t win a playoff game this year, that means they lost in the wild-card round for the third time in four years (or earned the No. 1 seed and lost a home game to a wild-card team in the conference semis, which would be even worse). Just getting to the playoffs is no longer enough. Whatever equity Sirianni earned in 2022 is running out. He’s got to prove this team has moved beyond the 2023 collapse and that he still has what it takes to guide a team on a postseason run. The Eagles have real coordinators now. They have unlimited talent on offense, and they’re younger and faster on defense. They have a manageable schedule. Everything is in place for Sirianni to get this team to mid-January. If not, Jeff Lurie won’t have much of a decision to make.
1B. The last Eagles head coach who kept his job going into a fifth season without multiple seasons with a postseason win was Buddy Ryan in 1990. But things were different back then. It was before free agency, so coaches in general got more time to develop young players. And that 1989 Eagles team finished strong, winning five of its last six regular-season games before an ugly home wild-card loss to Jim Everett…
