Coaching Staff
Nick Sirianni was riding high coming into 2023 after the Eagles nearly defeated the Chiefs in the Super Bowl. After a 10-1 start last season, the Eagles backed into the playoffs and lost to an overachieving Bucs’ squad. He brought in two new coordinators in Vic Fangio and Kellen Moore. With the offense sputtering/stagnant down the stretch and the defense just bad across the board (ranked 26th in 2023), all the moves were necessary. There are rumors (or people creating a narrative online) that Sirianni and his star quarterback Jalen Hurts are at odds, but winning will cure all. On offense, despite getting quality play out of D’Andre Swift and quite frankly his best season, the Eagles brought in Saquon Barkley to really drop the hammer. The Eagles have gone 34-17 over their last three seasons and all ended in postseason berths, perhaps Sirianni is still feeling a little pressure? Whatever the case, moves have been made to get the team back on track and ready for another deep playoff run.
With Kellen Moore being brought in as offensive coordinator to shake things up, it will get interesting. He was supposed to take Justin Herbert to the next level in 2023 with the Chargers, but at the end of the day that falls on the shoulders of the player. Now, he’ll see what he can do with all the talent he has on this Eagles’ offense. Last year’s offense became repetitive and predictable, Moore will look to provide the offense with variety while getting his playmakers the ball in advantageous positions. While in Dallas, Moore showed that when the talent is capable at quarterback, he can have an explosive offense. Him working with Jalen Hurts should be no different.
