The Eagles have a new head coach in Nick Sirianni and a new offensive coordinator in Shane Steichen. However, Sirianni will be the one calling plays.

“I do plan on calling the plays,” Sirianni told the team website. ““I know we’re going to work really hard throughout the week to make sure we’re ready,” Sirianni said. “And then we’re built with the right people in place to handle the challenges that I foresee as the most challenging things.”
The challenge, Sirianni says, will be to manage all aspects of the game while also calling the plays. Interesting, Sirianni has never called plays at the NFL level, despite serving as the Colts’ offensive coordinator in his last job. The Eagles trust his judgement, however. The 39-year-old guided the Colts through their transition from Andrew Luck to Philip Rivers. Under Sirianni’s watch, Rivers completed 68% of his throws for 4,169 yards with 24 touchdowns against eleven interceptions, leading Indy to the playoffs.
Recently, Sirianni also tapped a new quarterbacks coach, though the status of the actual QB position remains murky.
Sirriani will call the plays only to have Wentz call an audible in defiance.
If so, Wentz will get benched. When you have a young, serviceable back up, you can make the change. If Wentz pulls that crap, it will be obvious and no one will want to trade for or sign him after that.
Hear me now, believe me later, fired after two seasons…
I’m a Colts fan btw, Siriani didn’t even call the plays in Indy…
Wentz won’t be back.
Which would be a giant mistake, and if true, Eagle fans better be ready for 5-7 brutal seasons. We will be what the Ny Giants were these past 4 seasons.
Not to be a naysayer but helping to work with Rivers, an all-time great QB shouldn’t be a resume builder.
The same could have been said of Andy Reid. Before Reid was hired as HC, his recent coaching position was QB coach for Brett Favre.
I think it’s less about making Rivers better as it is acclimating him to the new system, adapting the system to him, etc.
All starting QB’s are coached and expected to change plays at the line throughout a season. The question is how often and was changing the play the correct call.
Some Coaches put to much on their plates.
Heck, coaching staffs today have become such a bloated bureaucracy that everyone has an assistant now. The coaches that really put some meat on their plate were the old school guys like George Halas and Paul Brown.
Excellent insight, yes !
