Pressure is mounting on Eagles Head Coach Nick Sirianni as the team undergoes a significant overhaul of its offensive coaching staff. The recent departure of respected O-line coach Jeff Stoutland has left the staff in disarray, and with Sean Mannion taking over as the new OC, expectations are high that this revamped unit will be able to improve upon last season's underwhelming performance.
The loss of Stoutland marks a significant change in philosophy for the Eagles offense, which struggled with inconsistency throughout 2025. While Mannion brings an on-the-rise reputation from Green Bay, his lack of experience as a playcaller may prove to be a challenge in terms of adapting to the team's needs. The hiring of Josh Grizzard as passing game coordinator and Ryan Mahaffey as run game coordinator and tight ends coach also raises questions about whether these new faces can elevate the offense.
Despite Sirianni's Super Bowl championship win last year, his tenure has been marked by inconsistency, particularly on offense. While he has gotten the Eagles to the playoffs in each of his five seasons as head coach, the team's success has largely rested on the back of talented players such as Jalen Hurts, DeVonta Smith, and A.J. Brown.
When these players have had competent OCs calling the shots, the results have been impressive. Under Shane Steichen, for example, the Eagles ran one of the most lethal offenses in the NFL in 2022, with Hurts playing to an MVP-caliber level. Similarly, Kellen Moore's offense in 2024 was capable of running anyone over at will, thanks to a healthy O-line that could open up holes for Saquon Barkley.
However, despite this talent and success, Sirianni has struggled to adapt his offense to the team's strengths, particularly when internal promotions have failed. The hiring of Brian Johnson as OC in 2023 ended in disaster, with the team floundering on offense before being poached by other teams for their own coaching staffs.
This pattern of inconsistency raises questions about Sirianni's ability to lead an NFL offense. While he has gotten the Eagles to two Super Bowls and won last year's championship, his tenure is marked by a lack of continuity and a failure to adapt to changing circumstances.
With Mannion at the helm, the Eagles face a significant challenge in revamping their offense and finding consistency on the field. The team will have to rely heavily on Hurts, Smith, and Barkley to deliver once again, but with Sirianni under pressure to deliver results, it remains to be seen whether this revamped staff can get the job done.
There's no place for Nick Sirianni to hide if the Eagles offense sputters again. The pressure will be on him to prove his doubters wrong and lead the team back to the playoffs. But with this new staff in place, there are more questions than answers about what lies ahead for the Eagles under Sirianni's leadership.
