"Though he no longer calls plays (because he was bad at it), Sirianni plays a major role in the Eagles' offensive struggles. Number one, he hasn't been able to provide answers to big-picture problems (he might not feel like they have problems since they don't turn the ball over and win but you can't tell me leading the league in three-and-outs is a smart thing to do). Number two, Sirianni not calling plays creates a situation where the play-caller is bound to change often"
"At a very basic level, good coaches do more with less talent. I sometimes feel like the Eagles are doing less with more. Though their 8-2 record looks good on the surface, and they've certainly beaten a number of high-quality opponents through a difficult schedule this year, they're 6-1 in one score games. They're good, yes, but they've also been lucky. They should be better than just good, they should be elite."
Skepticism about Nick Sirianni persists despite a Super Bowl win and a top-four all-time head coaching winning percentage. The Eagles' recent success owes significant credit to Howie Roseman as general manager and Vic Fangio as defensive coordinator, roles that Sirianni did not fill. Sirianni stopped calling plays after poor results, yet offensive problems continue, including an inability to solve big-picture issues and leading the league in three-and-outs. Play-caller turnover risk rises when the head coach does not call plays, and the current offensive coordinator, Kevin Patullo, is closely tied to Sirianni. Team chemistry concerns surface with reports of player frustration and criticisms of predictability.
