When the whispers started about Nick Sirianni’s job security heading into 2024, Eagles fans weren’t exactly sure which way the wind was blowing. Three straight playoff trips, an NFC title, and a Super Bowl appearance… but still, the doubts crept in because of the 5 Ls in the last 6 games, despite a 10-1 start.

But last season? It all changed. A 14-3 finish, yet another NFC title in the bag, and a revenge arc on the Chiefs successfully completed. So, don’t mind Jeffrey Lurie sitting with a big check for Nick. It’s about time.

“As an organization, we have always strived to create a championship culture of sustained success,” Lurie said. “Nothing is more important to fostering such an environment than having tremendous leadership.” And then came the real heat. “Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach… His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team.” In other words, Sirianni’s not just safe—he’s the guy.

The Eagles have officially locked in Sirianni, and they’re not just offering years—they’re offering trust. Real trust. The kind that comes from building a 48-20 regular-season record across four years. The kind that isn’t erased by a few rough weeks in December. After all, he’s got the third-highest winning percentage in the SB era, if success is measured in numbers. And even if not, Lurie had all the reasons to tie Nick to the contract.

But when Lurie’s statement read, “Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach,” he is obviously not talking about the misses of 2023. Because that second-half collapse of that season would have killed the vibes in Philly. However, in the City of Brotherly Love, they don’t leave you in trenches to fight your way up. They get in there with you. So, the Eagles did. They got behind Nick Sirianni and helped his scheme to glory.

Back in October, Jalen Hurts had a very clear stance on his allegiance to Nick as he said, “We are the two leaders of the team. I’m happy and fortunate that we were able to come together in harmony and have the same goal in mind and try to get this thing right. I got a ton of confidence in him.” Four months later, Nick called for a deep ball dagger into Chiefsdom’s heart, “If we score, it’s over. Call it.” Hurts went for the 69-yarder and found Devonta Smith. Touchdown. At that moment, it was the end to the Chiefs’ 3-peat hopes. But everyone knew it’s the start of something special with Nick Sirianni at the helm. Here we are, now!

Nick Sirianni is working on defending the championship

Nick Sirianni’s not easing off the gas. If anything, the Eagles head coach is doubling down. With the confetti barely swept from their Super Bowl parade, he’s back to the grind. Tweaking, fine-tuning, and adding the right tools to Jalen Hurts’ offensive chest. Why? Because going back-to-back in this league is harder than pulling off a Hail Mary with a busted O-line. And Sirianni knows it starts with getting Hurts all the help he needs.

One of the first big shifts would be moving on from Tyrion Davis-Price. The running back barely made a ripple last season and now finds himself searching for a new home. The Eagles, meanwhile, opened the door for some fresh legs. Enter Giles Jackson. The former Washington Husky wideout went undrafted, but he’s already drawing attention at camp. Fast, agile, and built for slot chaos—Jackson just might sneak his way into the mix if he turns heads during the preseason.

But here’s the thing—this isn’t just about plug-and-play replacements. It’s about building depth. Philly brought in 10 new draft picks and another nine undrafted free agents. The numbers sound impressive, but with the roster getting trimmed down to 53, not all will make the cut. And that includes a couple of recent picks: Cameron Williams and Myles Hinton. They’ve got plenty to prove if they want to wear midnight green come Week 1.

Still, it’s not all pressure. There’s inspiration, too. “I’ve been watching Lane Johnson since I was like sophomore year of high school,” said Williams. “Being able to watch him play is a blessing.” These next few weeks will be a litmus test for fit. Sirianni’s looking for players who get the system and bring juice. And with another Lombardi run in sight, there’s zero room for anything less.
