Despite his sustained, four-year success, Sports Illustrated is taking shots at Philadelphia Eagles' head coach Nick Sirianni in advance of Sunday's NFC Championship Game.
Sirianni has had a bumpy ride as the Eagles' head coach despite his success overall. Under Sirianni, Philadelphia has made the playoffs in four straight seasons, which includes three consecutive double-digit win seasons and a trip to Super Bowl 57 two years ago.

Nick Sirianni is a few games away from doing something no other Philadelphia Eagles head coach has done in franchise history; reach the Super Bowl on two separate occasions. In a lot of ways, this seemed unlikely at the beginning of the season, especially when local media and fans were ready to run Sirianni out of Philadelphia.

Saquon Barkley has always made the impossible look possible. What’s truly impossible is to think that week in and week out he continues to embarrass his opponents whose number one goal every week is simply to prevent him from embarrassing them.
On Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field, the Philadelphia Eagles can punch their ticket to their second Super Bowl in three seasons against the Josh Harris-owned Washington Commanders in the NFC championship game.
