The Philadelphia Eagles are revamping much of their coaching staff again, but the main man is still in charge.

Despite losing six of their last seven games and, from the outside, locker room drama, Nick Sirianni will remain the head coach.

Last season, Sirianni was a hero in Philadelphia as the Eagles were less than a minute away from winning the Super Bowl. However, this season the situation has changed enormously.

With their tough finish, many thought the Eagles would move on, despite making the playoffs for the third time in as many seasons they've been there.

Now, with apparently more skeptics than supporters, Sirianni says he needs to prove again that he is the right man to lead the Eagles to the promised land.

“In my opinion, you better believe I'm thinking, 'how can I prove myself again?' I was a young coach that Mr. [Jeff] lurie and howie [Roseman] and this organization trusted to give him the job. I had to prove to myself that this guy can lead the organization like they asked me to. I had to prove myself from then on.”

Roseman said Sirianni's record speaks for itself.

“I've seen what he's done winning games,” Roseman said. “It's put us in a position where we're competing for a world championship. It's put us in a position where every year we're in the playoff race. Those things are hard to find.

“I think the important thing we have to consider is that, before the stretch, which was a difficult stretch, without decreasing the stretch 1-6 at the end, we were 26-5 in the last 31 games. That's difficult to do in the League National Soccer. It's hard to find a head coach in this league who has that track record of success.”
