Eagles must decide fate of coach Nick Sirianni, rest of his staff following epic collapse

Associated Press  

PHILADELPHIA — Nick Sirianni is the kind of coach that would make a pretty good Eagles fan. When Hurts was asked if he wanted Sirianni back, the QB simply said, “I didn’t know he was going anywhere.” Pressed repeatedly on Sirianni, Hurts sounded more like an artificial intelligence version of what a QB would say after a preseason game. Hurts flashed only occasional glimpses of the dynamic play that made him the NFL MVP runner-up last season and sparked the Eagles’ run to the Super Bowl. D’Andre Swift, a 1,000-yard rusher, is one of three running backs approaching free agency, and wide receiver Quez Watkins may have dropped his last pass for the Eagles. The heart of the Eagles, Kelce has told teammates he’s not coming back for another season, the first domino to fall in an offseason sure to keep the transaction wire humming.
