Nick Sirianni not worried about job status: 'Put my head down and work'

Joe DeCamara bluntly asked Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni if he's worried about his job status after a shaky 2-2 start to the 2024 season.

"I am going to very blunt...are you feeling the heat ratcheting up on your job status?" DeCamara asked on Tuesday's 94WIP Morning Show.

“No, I’m just worried about getting the team better," Sirianni said. "I'm just worried about the bye week and putting ourselves in position to win coming out of the bye week and I'll be worried about the Cleveland Browns. You can't worry about any of those different things. Right now, we're 2-2. We've got a lot of football in front of us and just put my head down and work."

Dating back to last season, Sirianni is 3-8 as the Eagles' head coach in his last 11 games, but he says that is an unfair way to look at it.

"This team is 2-2," Sirianni said. "I can't focus on what happened last year, that's behind us. We did the things we needed to do after last season and this team is 2-2. Saquon Barkley doesn't care that the Eagles are 3 and—you know what I'm saying? And neither does Mekhi Becton and all of these new guys, Chauncey...We can't go 5-2 after the bye week or 5-2 after this next game, you've got one game to play...You can fix the problems and work on fixing the problems that have occurred, but to say in the past of what happened and to say we're this, that's just not productive."

Sirianni, 43, is in his fourth season as the Eagles head coach after surviving a collapse last season where they team went 1-6 in their final seven games, including a blowout loss at the Bucs in the first-round of the playoffs.

In the offseason, owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman elected to retain Sirianni and bring in new experienced coordinators in Kellen Moore on offense and Vic Fangio on defense.

Fans and media have begun to speculate about the idea of the Eagles bringing in Bill Belichick as their next head coach.

The Eagles have been without their star wide receiver A.J. Brown for three of the first four games and in Sunday's loss to the Bucs were missing Brown, WR DeVonta Smith, and All-Pro LT Lane Johnson.

Philadelphia now enters their bye week at 2-2 and will play next at the Linc against the Browns in Week 6 on Sunday, October 13th.
