Under Coach Nick Sirianni’s leadership, the Philadelphia Eagles have entered a concerning downward spiral, with the team losing 10 of their last 13 matchups. Their recent performance culminated in a disappointing 33-16 defeat at the hands of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
This troubling situation has sparked considerable debate, including commentary from former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown, who took to X to question Sirianni’s qualifications as a head coach. Brown proposed that Bill Belichick, who boasts six Super Bowl wins, would be an ideal replacement for Sirianni.
“Eagles need Bill and Bill needs the Eagles,” Brown asserted. “Bill Belichick gets a head coaching job before May? Bid yes. $500. $832 payout, if right.”
Belichick, who holds the record for the most postseason victories by any coach with 31, could certainly bring significant advantages to the Eagles. His remarkable achievement of coaching seven seasons with 13 or more wins could potentially address the current issues facing the Philadelphia team.
Furthermore, a partnership with a quarterback of Jalen Hurts’ skill level could create a formidable duo on the field, a notion Brown seems to champion.
Supporters of this idea have echoed Brown’s sentiments, highlighting how Belichick’s involvement might revitalize the Eagles’ fortunes.
However, not everyone is in agreement with Brown’s viewpoint. One critic recalled Brown’s own decline following his infamous exit during a Buccaneers game in January 2022, challenging his credibility:
I thought your broke a*s needed the job too AB?

Moreover, another fan expressed her belief that Belichick might be better suited for an AFC team rather than taking the reins of the Eagles:
The Bengals need Belichick F*CK the Eagles!!

Interestingly, Antonio Brown isn’t alone in calling for a change in coaching within the Eagles organization. Analyst Colin Cowherd shares a similar opinion regarding Sirianni’s performance.
### Colin Cowherd critiques Nick Sirianni following Eagles’ lackluster display
On his podcast, *The Herd with Colin Cowherd*, the commentator did not hold back in expressing his thoughts on Nick Sirianni’s future with the Eagles.
“Nick Sirianni was not ready for it when he got the job,” Cowherd said. “He’s not necessarily a great coordinator yet. He could be a great position coach.”
Cowherd believes that Sirianni’s earlier successes since joining the Eagles in 2021 can be attributed to former offensive coordinator Shane Steichen. With Steichen now serving as head coach for the Indianapolis Colts, Cowherd argues that Sirianni’s weaknesses have become more apparent.
Reflecting on the Eagles’ swift decline under Sirianni’s leadership, Cowherd commented:
“What does Nick do? Does Nick call plays? No. Is he a defensive wiz? No, he’s an offensive guy. Culture-builder like Dan Campbell? No. Reportedly he doesn’t get along great with Jalen Hurts and doesn’t have his trust.”
He continued to highlight Sirianni’s limitations: “If even you’re struggling as a head coach – are you good on your side of the ball? They’re not.”
Cowherd reiterated his stance, emphasizing that Philadelphia is one of the better-run organizations that typically does not hesitate to make tough decisions:
“Philadelphia is one of the better-run organizations. They don’t sit around and wait,” he urged, advocating for prompt action regarding the coaching situation.
He also reminded listeners of the Eagles’ history of swift coaching changes when the strategies of leaders like Doug Pederson and Chip Kelly misaligned with team expectations. Both Antonio Brown and Colin Cowherd suggest that Nick Sirianni might need to be considered for a similar reconsideration to pave the way for a fresh start.
