"Let's be honest, the Eagles' OC doesn't actually run the offense. Nick Sirianni wants control. It's his system, vision, and his fingerprints on everything. The coordinator isn't there to build or evolve the offense. He's there to operate it and absorb blame when it stops working. If the offense is rolling, Sirianni gets praised as an offensive mastermind. If it stalls, the OC is suddenly the issue."
"Word is Jalen Hurts can only run a limited playbook. That doesn't mean he isn't talented. What it does mean is the offense has to stay small. When a quarterback struggles with layered progressions, full-field reads, and post-snap processing, the scheme shrinks. What you're left with is: Heavy RPO usage One-read concepts A run-centric approach Leaning on physical advantages That can work, until the defenses adjust, and once they do, the Eagles don't change."
The Eagles' offensive coordinator lacks genuine control because head coach Nick Sirianni centrally directs the offense and claims credit for success. The coordinator often executes a fixed system rather than designing or evolving it and becomes the focal point for blame when the offense falters. Jalen Hurts reportedly operates best within a limited playbook, emphasizing one-read concepts, heavy RPOs, and a run-first approach that avoids layered progressions and full-field reads. Defensive adjustments expose schematic limitations, and the offense tends not to adapt. As a result, the OC position carries significant downside and limited upside for ambitious assistants.
