Why Nick Sirianni will never win Coach of the Year

In Roob’s Eagles Observations: Why Nick Sirianni will never win Coach of the Year originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia

Why isn’t Nick Sirianni a Coach of the Year candidate, an incredible Jason Kelce-Brandon Graham-Fletcher Cox-David Akers stat and where Cam Jurgens will make the biggest difference.

We have a loaded 10 Random Eagles Observations this week, starting out with my long-winded rant about the Coach of the Year award.

1. Nick Sirianni won’t be Coach of the Year this year. He has no chance. And it’s ridiculous because the only reason he’s not a candidate is because he wins too much. Why is Dan Campbell the top candidate for Coach of the Year? Because his first team went 3-13 two years ago and the Lions will be in the playoffs for the first time since 2016. Why is DeMeco Ryans a top candidate? Because he took over a team that went 3-13 last year and is now in the playoff mix at 5-4. Why is Kevin O’Connell a top candidate?

On Monday night, the two best teams in the league meet at Arrowhead Stadium and the NFL’s two winningest coaches of the last three years will be on the sidelines and neither has a shot at winning Coach of the Year. If Sirianni was ever going to win it, it would have been 2021, his first year, when he took over a team in shambles that had gone 4-11-1 in 2020 and didn’t have a quarterback and then went 9-8 and reached the…
