Jason Kelce Defends Eagles' Sirianni, Says HC Holds Best Team Meetings He's Ever Seen

Nick Sirianni has been under fire since the Philadelphia Eagles collapsed at the end of the 2023 season, and considered a hot-seat candidate when he was brought back this season, albeit with a pair of new coordinators around him.

But former Eagles guard Jason Kelce praised Sirianni during an appearance on Sports Radio 94WIP on Thursday.

"He makes critical decisions when it means the most and by and large he gets those really right," Kelce said. "I'll say this wholeheartedly, he's the best team-meeting coach I've ever been around... He would hold guys accountable."

Praise for Sirianni hasn't exactly been rampant, especially after he gave the majority of the control over the offense to new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore and the defense over to new coordinator Vic Fangio.

There are some in Philadelphia questioning what exactly Sirianni does, though he's hardly the first CEO-esque coach in the NFL. More importantly, he seemingly has retained the support of his players.

And the support of at least one ex-player in Kelce, too.
