Eagles Owner Jeffrey Lurie Furious, Slams Head Coach Nick Sirianni After Embarrassing Loss to Bears

After the crushing 15 to 24 defeat to the Chicago Bears in Week 13, Philadelphia Eagles fans weren’t the only ones fuming. Team owner Jeffrey Lurie reportedly reached his breaking point with head coach Nick Sirianni. According to sources close to the organization, Lurie held a closed-door meeting late on November 28 and issued his harshest criticism yet since hiring Sirianni in 2021.

The reason? A string of conservative, uninspired decisions that have caused the Eagles to collapse right when the season should be peaking. Despite an 8 and 4 record and first place in the NFC East, the team has lost three of its last five games and looks completely out of sync, especially on offense.

Disastrous Play-Calling Sparks Owner's Rage
Jeffrey Lurie’s frustration, sources say, came from a long list of mistakes that continue to haunt the Eagles’ sideline, all pinned on Sirianni’s inability to lead like a top-tier head coach.

1. Conservative decisions with the game on the line
In the Bears matchup, Sirianni chose to run the ball in key third down situations during the fourth quarter instead of trusting Jalen Hurts to pass. The result was punts that gave the Bears excellent field position and eventually the win.

Over the past five games, Philadelphia has scored just three total touchdowns. That is a shocking number for an offense built around stars like Hurts and A.J. Brown.

2. Failed challenges and poor game management
Sirianni lost two of his three challenge attempts, including a controversial offensive pass interference call against A.J. Brown that analysts agreed should have been overturned.

Adding to the problem was clock mismanagement and a refusal to adjust when the offense stalled. Lurie had seen enough.

3. Lack of adaptability and offensive creativity
Eagles fans and analysts alike have blasted Sirianni for refusing to make changes. His playbook looks stale, his decision-making predictable, and his approach to high-pressure moments has drawn comparisons to the worst of Doug Pederson’s final days in Philadelphia.

#NickSirianni can’t coach for cr*p. His antics are embarrassing too. This is 2023 all over again. He has 0 play design skills. He’s a jackass on the sidelines.

Kevin Patullo Also Under Fire
Lurie’s frustrations reportedly extended to Vice President of Player Personnel Kevin Patullo, who oversees the draft and free agency. Patullo was criticized for selecting cornerback Quinyon Mitchell instead of helping the offensive line or wide receiver depth chart.

With injuries piling up and the roster lacking depth, Patullo’s personnel decisions have made things even harder for Sirianni, and Lurie is not happy about it.

Jeffrey Lurie’s Harsh Words: "I can’t accept a head coach who can’t coach worth a damn."
Insiders report that during the post-game meeting, Lurie dropped the hammer.

"I can’t accept a head coach who can’t coach worth a damn. We’ve got a championship roster, but the way this team is being run is dragging us to the bottom."

It was the clearest signal yet that Sirianni’s job is on the line. With two matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and a tough game against the Steelers still on the schedule, things could get worse quickly.

Is Time Running Out for Sirianni?
Even with an 8 and 4 record, the Eagles are unraveling at the worst possible time. Oddsmakers have already increased Sirianni’s chances of being fired before the end of the season, especially if the team drops key divisional games.

Possible replacements are already being discussed online:

• Bill Belichick (six-time Super Bowl champion)

If things don’t turn around soon, the Bears loss could be remembered as the game that ended Nick Sirianni’s time in Philadelphia.
