Eagles News: Jeffrey Lurie thinks Nick Sirianni is “the real deal”
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles links ... Camp starts Tuesday. Nick’s still here. Why? Because Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie believes Sirianni can be the next Andy Reid. Or Bill Belichick. Maybe even Bill Walsh, or Don Shula. Lurie hired Sirianni after firing overmatched Doug Pederson in 2021 after five roller-coaster seasons. Lurie wasn’t looking to hire a coach for the next five years. He was looking to hire one for the next 20. Lurie still believes Sirianni is that guy. “Jeffrey thinks Nick is the real deal,” said a former Eagles executive in a recent conversation. You could feel the guy’s eyes roll over the phone. He was not alone in his incredulity. The general feeling among the NFL cognoscenti is that Lurie thinks Sirianni still has superb potential — as long as Sirianni can spend some time removed from the demands of developing an offense. [...] This is Lurie’s plan. He wants Sirianni and Hurts to be his Belichick and Brady, his Reid and Mahomes, his Walsh and Montana. Lurie realizes that Sirianni stank at times last season, and he blames Nick as much as anyone for the humiliation, but he also believes that Sirianni is more than just salvageable, league sources said. He thinks Sirianni is special.
