After a 10-1 start to a win-or-bust season ended with a 1-6 finish, several athletes in Philadelphia sports have defended Nick Sirianni’s merit as a head coach. Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie will make the final decision about Sirianni’s future. Defensive lineman Cox, who is unsure whether he would play a 13th season, showed his indignation when questioned about rumors that Sirianni is under pressure.
Cox, who is still undecided about whether to come back for a 13th season, defended Sirianni as a successful head coach and stressed that such experiences are common for many teams and organizations. In the event that Lurie fires Sirianni, there is an exceptionally strong pool of possibilities this summer, including Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and perhaps Jim Harbaugh, who may be itching to return to the NFL./cdn.vox-cdn.com/uploads/chorus_image/image/69564711/1292352492.0.jpg)
Jalen Hurts, who signed a five-year, $255 million contract in April with a guaranteed $179.3 million, is undoubtedly coming back. Hurts laughed off rumors that he didn’t want his coach to come back based on his ambivalent support of Sirianni right after the Tampa Bay defeat. He said that the path for the next year had already started and that he has no intentions for any offseason surgery.
While Graham and Cox are unsure whether they will play one more season for the Eagles, Pro Bowl center and team leader Kelce has all but announced his retirement from the team after 13 years. After the playoff defeat, Kelce confided in his teammates that he would not be returning. At the Eagles facility, he put an end to speculation of retirement, stating that Philadelphia’s defeat to San Francisco was the “big turning point” of the season.
Kelce wants to take his family to Disney World so they can see his brother play in the playoffs. He has at least one more game or NFL event remaining. By the time the Super Bowl ends, Kelce might have officially retired.
