A month into the season, Nick Sirianni looked like a goner.
Here’s a sample of some of the headlines from a Google search involving the Eagles’ sometimes-combative head coach:
- “Philadelphia Eagles fans WANT NICK SIRIANNI FIRED’’
- “Nick Sirianni’s seat gets hotter after questionable calls’’
- “No logical upside to keeping Sirianni’’
- And then this one: “Nick Sirianni apologizes for his behavior toward Eagles fans’’
That last one was Oct. 13 when Sirianni taunted a group of Eagles fans who were riding him with “Fire Nick’’ chants after Philly barely defeated a bad Browns team, 20-16 at home.
The Eagles, still smarting from their 2023 collapse following a 10-1 start that left them 11-6 and bounced from the playoffs in the wild-card round, were 3-2 and struggling.
