Multiple pressure points are converging simultaneously for the Philadelphia Eagles. With Sean Mannion on the hot seat before he starts, Nick Sirianni's job security tied to offensive performance, Vic Fangio's likely final season, and major personnel decisions looming, 2026 could define the franchise's direction for years to come.
Multiple pressure points are converging simultaneously for the Philadelphia Eagles. With Sean Mannion on the hot seat before he starts, Nick Sirianni's job security tied to offensive performance, Vic Fangio's likely final season, and major personnel decisions looming, 2026 could define the franchise's direction for years to come.
The Eagles hired Sean Mannion as OC despite his lack of play-calling experience, then brought in Tyler Grizzard who actually has that experience. This setup screams trouble.
John McMullen argues the Eagles should retain Vic Fangio at any cost, even if it means dealing with an inopportune retirement later. His reasoning might surprise you.
Concerns mount about Sean Mannion and Josh Grizzard's inexperience leading Philadelphia's offense, with one expert warning about potential committee-style play calling.
Jeffrey Lurie has owned the Philadelphia Eagles for 32 years, producing four Super Bowl appearances and two wins. But is that enough? With the highest-paid offense in the NFL failing in the playoffs and Nick Sirianni on the hot seat, we evaluate Lurie's full body of work.
John McMullen delivered a harsh truth about Eagles offensive coordinators: they all get criticized eventually. Sean Mannion won't be any different, and it might happen fast.
Some Eagles fans actually wanted to fire one of the NFL's best offensive line coaches to land Cliff Kingsbury. The Birds 365 crew couldn't believe the lack of logic in this take.
Everyone is talking about Vic Fangio. But McMullen warns the Eagles could face an equally devastating coaching loss if Jeff Stoutland decides he does not want to work for a 33-year-old coordinator, and the replacement options are bleak.
Sean Mannion has been coaching for two years. Jeff Stoutland has been coaching offensive lines since before Mannion was born. McMullen and Krause debate whether the Eagles' new OC can command a room full of coaches with far more experience than he has.
NFL reporter Jeff Kerr joined Birds 365 and immediately identified the problem with Eagles offseason coverage: fake narratives designed for clicks, not insight. Here is why the engagement farming is worse than ever.
While the rest of Philadelphia piles on Nick Sirianni, Zander Krause asks the question nobody wants to answer: if he's 50-18 with a Super Bowl appearance, what exactly are you expecting?
John McMullen's genuine shock at the Mannion hire reveals just how unprecedented — and high-stakes — this move really is.
Sileo believes the Eagles' front office has deliberately set up Nick Sirianni for a pass-fail season in 2026 — and the George Seifert comparison tells you everything about how the organization views its head coach.
Dan Sileo asks the question every Eagles fan is thinking: why would AJ Brown commit to an offense run by a coordinator who has never called a single play? With the Packers' tight end-heavy blueprint as Mannion's model, Brown's future in Philadelphia looks bleaker than ever.
Zander Krause and John McMullen torch the Hall of Fame voters who kept Bill Belichick out on the first ballot. Eight Super Bowls aren't enough?
Dan Sileo and Xander Krause made the case on Wednesday's National Football Show that the Eagles' OC search is camouflage for deeper structural problems — and that as long as Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts are both in the building, nothing will fundamentally change.
As the OC search drags on, the firing of Brian Johnson — who ran a top-8 offense behind the league's worst defense — increasingly looks like a franchise-defining mistake.
Birds 365 hosts and guests react with outrage to reports that Bill Belichick won't be a first-ballot Hall of Famer despite six Super Bowl wins as a head coach.
Fifteen days. Fourteen candidates. Zero hires. Dan Sileo's most explosive take: the OC search has revealed that Nick Sirianni doesn't run the Eagles' offense — he just takes orders and hopes for the best.
