The Philadelphia Eagles’ late-season collapse continued, and they couldn’t have chosen a worse possible time to lose their way.
This team got mostly better than the one that lost the Super Bowl just last season, and even though they did lose some talent on defense, they went to great lengths to replace it.
This wasn’t a personnel-related issue.
The Eagles kept finding ways to win football games earlier in the year.
They talked about how they weren’t satisfied with the way they were playing and how they needed to go back to their dominant ways, but they proved, in stretches, that they were still a force to be reckoned with when they were locked in.
Fast forward to today, and it seems like Nick Sirianni might not even be around as their coach going forward.
Should that be the case, Jaime Eisner of The Draft Network reports that former Tennesee Titans Mike Vrabel is currently the odds-on favorite to replace him (Via Bet Online).
Besides Vrabel, the list also includes (in order) Bill Belichick, Bobby Slowik, Ben Johnson, and Jim Harbaugh as the most likely candidates to take the reins of the team, with other interesting names looking like more of a long shot, including recently-retired center Jason Kelce.
*If* the Eagles fire Nick Sirianni, who will be the next Eagles HC?
Mike Vrabel (-150)
Bill Belichick (+400)
Bobby Slowik (+400)
Ben Johnson (+500)
Jim Harbaugh (+900)
Frank Smith (12/1)
Rex Ryan (16/1)
Mike Macdonald (16/1)
Dann Quinn (16/1)
Todd Monken (18/1)
Kellen Moore…— Jaime Eisner (@JaimeEisner) January 16, 2024
Vrabel constantly overachieved at Tennesee, so he would definitely be a suitable replacement.
It seems like there’s a lack of accountability in the Eagles’ locker room right now, and he’s a guy they could all respond to and respect as a former player and proven coach.
