Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni admitted during Wednesday’s end-of-the-year press conference that the Eagles’ offense got stale during the 2023 season.
And that is spurring some major change.
Not only did the Eagles fire offensive coordinator Brian Johnson, but Sirianni wants the next OC to bring fresh ideas, a new scheme and to be in charge on that side of the ball.
It’s our scheme. It will be our scheme of what we’re doing,” Sirianni said. “And so, again, I don’t know exactly what that will look like yet, right? We’re bringing in a guy to bring in new ideas, to do the things that he’s done in the past. We’re going through an extensive search to get that right person, but it’d be crazy not to add some of the things that we’ve done in the past here as well. I don’t know if it’s gonna be 95% this, we’re not there yet.
“We’re working on getting the best guy in here for the job and a guy who has a vision, a guy who’s going to call the plays, a guy who’s going to be able to coach a quarterback in the same sense there. So it’s just about getting the right guy and then we’ll decide where that goes. But I’m hiring him to do a job and to be in charge of the offense.”
Sirianni, 42, has been the Eagles’ head coach for the last three seasons and will return for a fourth in 2024. But he is clearly ceding control on that side of the football to the next OC after the Eagles have run his offense for the last three seasons.
But if the Eagles’ new offensive coordinator is going to run the offense, the new defensive coordinator is going to run the defense and special teams coordinator Michael Clay is going to run special teams … then what is Sirianni going to do?
