Breaking news: Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie hints at a Contract Extension for Nick Sirianni
The Philadelphia Eagles are presently dominating the news cycle due to the owners’ meetings, even though it is typical for a Super Bowl champion to receive a lot of media attention during the NFL offseason. Lately, the league’s main topic of conversation has been the tush push.
People are praising the Eagles and their coaching staff for honing a play to the point that they want it outlawed, despite the heated debate over whether it should be prohibited or not. This appears to be a major factor in Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie’s desire to keep head coach Nick Sirianni aboard. Under Sirianni, the tush push is not just a dominant play but also a major component of the team’s identity.
Whether it’s quarterback Jalen Hurts or whoever is at running back, the club has been most effective when their offensive line is the finest in football and they pound the rock. This was made possible by the team’s acquisition of star back Saquon Barkley last summer. Sirianni has been a historically successful coach and has also contributed to the development of a distinct identity. He is the first head coach in the past four decades to win two Super Bowls and qualify for the playoffs in each of his first four seasons.
The Eagles are in a great position to try and repeat as champions and are in good hands with their front office, ownership, and coaching staff. Over the past few years, the Eagles have become known for snagging great values in the draft, so they should have no trouble replenishing some of the talent they lost. The real question, it seems, will be how long it will take to develop them rather than whether they are good or not. He also overcame his biggest demon, avenging his previous Super Bowl loss to the Kansas Chiefs in a dominant manner.
The Eagles can continue to have this excellent culture and leadership for many years to come with a Sirianni contract. It will be fascinating to see the stats for a Sirianni contract renewal when it occurs, even though it isn’t official yet. Although he is still a young and relatively new coach, he has proven that he is worthy of receiving the same compensation as the NFL’s best coaches. Even if the tush push is outlawed when a final decision is reached, Nick Sirianni should at least have something nice come out the NFL owners’ meetings.
