Hall of Famer Calls Out Nick Sirianni for Being a 'Bad Coach' vs Jaguars
Nick Sirianni is in the hot seat after the Eagles lost in the final second to the Jaguars in London on Sunday.
The Philadelphia Eagles suffered a shocking and disappointing defeat to the Jacksonville Jaguars in London on Sunday. With only eight seconds left on the clock, the Eagles had led by two points, but a remarkable 57-yard return by Jaguars running back Ameer Abdullah set the stage for kicker Cam Little to seal the game with a 57-yard field goal in the final second. In the post-game press conference, Eagles coach Nick Sirianni admitted his team had chosen the wrong game plan in those final moments.
Pro Football Hall of Famer and former Eagles receiver Cris Carter went further, labeling Sirianni as a "bad coach" on the Up & Adams show. Carter praised the Eagles for playing a strong football game, acknowledging the team's struggles in the weeks leading up to the London matchup. The Eagles had recently seen offensive tackle Lane Johnson announce his retirement and had traded Pro Bowl offensive lineman Cam Jurgens to Baltimore, with key offensive stars Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith also ruled out due to injury.
Carter questioned what legendary coach Mike Tomlin would have done in Sirianni's situation, suggesting Tomlin would have devised a better game plan. He firmly believed Tomlin would have avoided placing the Eagles in that precarious position. While Sirianni still has a job after Sunday's loss, the Eagles are currently 2-3 on the season, and there is no immediate call for his dismissal. However, the Eagles' fans are not quick to forget, and this loss has added fuel to the fire for critics.
