Nick Sirianni entered the 2024 NFL season on the hot seat after Philadelphia lost six of its final seven games, including a blowout to Tampa Bay in the NFC Wild Card game. What followed was the firing of both coordinators, who were replaced by Kellen Moore (OC) and Vic Fangio (DC).
The Eagles made a few moves in free agency, including signing Saquon Barkley to a three-year deal. Howie Roseman landed two stars with the first two draft picks, and the Birds entered the season with huge expectations.
A 2-2 start led to some talk of Sirianni needing to be fired, but all Philadelphia has done since then is win five straight games, with both the offense and defense playing at high levels. Former Eagles star Fletcher Cox was a guest on Up with Adams and told Kay Adams that all Sirianni does is win.

During his tenure as head coach, Sirianni has guided Philadelphia to five winning streaks of five or more games. No other NFL team has logged more five-game winning streaks since the 2022 season. Sirianni’s .683 (41-19) winning percentage is the 9th-best career mark in NFL history and ranks 2nd among active head coaches, trailing only Jim Harbaugh (.692, 50-22-1). It is the highest winning percentage ever by an Eagles head coach and ranks 3rd in the NFL since 2021, behind Andy Reid (.767, 46-14) and Sean McDermott (.717, 43-17). Philadelphia is tied for the 3rd-best home winning percentage (.762, 16-5) in the league since 2022, trailing only Buffalo (.857, 18-3) and Kansas City (.773, 17-5) in that span. Including playoffs, the Eagles are 11-3 (.786) in their last 14 games at Lincoln Financial Field.
