PHILADELPHIA − So there was Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, back for his sixth season, a survivor in every sense of the word.
Two other coaches have been run out of Philadelphia ever since Andy Reid's 14-year reign ended in 2012. Chip Kelly's innovations ended up wearing out his players − and his welcome − by his third season. Doug Pederson won the franchise's first Super Bowl in the 2017 season, then refused to adapt after the 2020 debacle.
Sirianni inherited the aftershocks of Pederson's mess, in his first head coaching opportunity, and has since taken the Eagles to the playoffs in each of his five seasons, the Super Bowl twice, winning once.

Sirianni's overall winning percentage of .694 is the third highest of any NFL coach through his first five seasons during the Super Bowl era, trailing only Hall of Famers and NFL coaching legends Vince Lombardi and John Madden.
