NFL Insider: Don't Rule Out Eagles Firing HC Nick Sirianni If Philly Loses to Bucs

The Philadelphia Eagles have been one of the NFL's stranger teams this season, losing five of their last six games after starting the season 10-1.

And that could have head coach Nick Sirianni on the hot seat, especially if the team isn't able to turn around its fortunes in the Wild Card Round against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday night.

ESPN's Dan Graziano went so far as to say on Wednesday's Get Up that a loss in that game could cost Sirianni his job:

"I don't think you should rule it out because I think if the organization decides it's gotten bad there, you know, inside the building culturally, all that kind of thing. I think they've shown in the past that they're not afraid to move on. Doug Pederson was just two years removed from winning the Super Bowl, which no other coach in the history of the organization has ever done, and they got rid of him because of the way that season ended. So, I think it's worth keeping an eye on if things go very badly for them Monday night in Tampa and you're looking at the last two months and going this is not it."

Sirianni's résumé in Philadelphia has been impressive to this point in his three seasons—a 34-17 record, three straight playoff berths and a trip to the Super Bowl last season. But this year's Eagles were expected to be a title contender again, and the team has instead collapsed down the stretch.

That has included the Birds essentially demoting defensive coordinator Sean Desai and handing play-calling duties over to Matt Patricia. The secondary has been atrocious in particular, with opposing pass offenses carving the Eagles to shreds.

It's the sort of fall from grace for a team that often indicates bigger issues might be lurking behind the scenes. A win against the Bucs probably keeps Sirianni safe, but a bad loss against a 9-8 Bucs team could have his seat feeling very warm.
