It took over a week from the end of the Eagles’ 2023 season to hear from general manager Howie Roseman and head coach Nick Sirianni, but the pair finally held their postmortem press conference on Wednesday. They had a lot to discuss, including Sirianni’s reduced influence on the offense, coordinator changes and roles on both side of the ball, and some about what went wrong at the end of the 2023 season.
Roseman acknowledged the delay in speaking to reporters, citing sadness and a shell-shocked feeling at how the season ended, as well as the snow storms and making their plan for moving forward.
Sirianni admitted that the Eagles offense was stale at the end of the season, and while he couldn’t say enough good things about Brian Johnson, they needed to make a change. He noted that Johnson was a big reason for a lot of the success they had the past three years, but now it’s about bringing in fresh ideas.

On the new Offensive Coordinator

He noted that Johnson was a big reason for a lot of the success they had the past three years, but now it’s about bringing in fresh ideas.
They’re looking to bring someone in with different ideas and a new scheme, with Sirianni acknowledging that it won’t be his scheme, but rather “our” scheme, this time around. The new OC will also merge some of the concepts they’ve had success with the past couple years.
“Whoever the new coordinator is, there’s going to be things that they bring [that are] fresh ideas for us to help our players grow, and help our players play at a top level. And, there’s been some things we’ve done really well on offense, too, in the past that you’ll mesh in some of that in, as well.”
