NFL fans are demanding that the Philadelphia Eagles’ head coach, Nick Sirianni, be fired after the team’s embarrassing loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4.
The Eagles have lost eight of their last eleven games, raising questions about the head coach’s ability.
Highlights
Nick Sirianni has been facing much criticism and his coaching ability is in question.
The scrutiny has intensified after the Eagles’ 24-0 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
The team’s performance in the upcoming games will determine Nick’s future with the Eagles.
Nick Sirianni watched his team fall behind 24-0 against the Buccaneers on 29 September. As reported by Pro Football Net, even after four games, the Eagles don’t seem to have a clear identity.
They have shown some good moments, but poor decisions and turnovers have overshadowed them.
At the start of this season, many anticipated that the Eagles could be Super Bowl contenders.
However, with a 2-2 start and losing 8 of their last 11 games, the head coach’s future with the team is in question.
The 43-year-old became the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles in January 2021.
Nick had a strong start with the Eagles. He led them to back-to-back winning seasons and a Super Bowl appearance in his second year.
But over time, his role has evolved. For instance, Kellen Moore is the one who is in charge of the offense, though Sirianni sometimes calls plays.
Since he no longer calls the offensive plays, people are now questioning his role. In addition, the Eagles’ poor start to this season has made things challenging for him.
NFL Fans Are Calling For Nick Sirianni To Be Fired
The Philadelphia Eagles fans have voiced their dissatisfaction with the head coach. Many of them took to social media and demanded his dismissal.
One of X users wrote,
“For the first time I woke up today and thought the Philadelphia Eagles should fire Nick Sirianni and hire Bill Belichick.”
Another person wrote,
“Today would be a great day for the Eagles to fire their head coach.”
Similarly, several of them have also created a poll asking others whether the Eagles should dismiss Sirianni or not.

However, some people are supporting Sirianni. They argue that while the coach is not perfect and makes mistakes like any coach, firing a successful coach is troubling.
Netizens are also blaming the media for this negative rhetoric.
“I don’t particularly care for the rhetoric I see from those who appear to be Eagles fans regarding Nick Sirianni. He’s not perfect, makes mistakes like every coach does but this idea that you fire a successful coach is troubling to me. I blame the media ultimately.”
Moreover, another X user points out that Sirianni gets no credit when the Eagles’ defense plays well, but when the defense struggles, people call for his firing.
“Eagles defense comes out inspired in New Orleans: Nick Sirianni in no way responsible.“ “Eagles defense comes out and gets gashed in Tampa: fire Nick Sirianni.“ The team has set it up so this guy will only get blame in any circumstance whether it’s on him or it isn’t.
