People are speculating that Sirianni's tenure as Eagles head coach may be coming to an end.
The Philadelphia head coach made headlines ahead of the matchup as he revealed a new haircut.
...
Social media exploded with pictures of Sirianni and his shaved head. NFL fans were ruthless with their captions.
The headlines haven't ceased for the Eagles head coach in 2024. Several fans speculated that the dynamic between Sirianni and his quarterback Jalen Hurts is close to boiling over.
However, the pair were insistent on giving off the perception that their relationship is doing well.
"We're the two leaders of the team," Hurts told NBC Sports earlier this week. "I'm happy and fortunate that we were able to come together in harmony and have the same goal in mind, trying to get this thing right. I got a ton of confidence in him, a ton of confidence in what he brings and everything he's been able to accomplish.
"Just continue to press on, on that. Everybody goes through different moments, everybody experiences adversity but we've experienced different levels of adversity together. We're excited for what's to come."
Former Jets head coach Robert Saleh was the first head coach to be fired during the 2024 season.
Saleh's departure from the New York franchise came as a shock to several Jets players. Saleh was not allowed to speak to the team before he was escorted by security out of the building.
Ahead of the Week 6 matchup, Sirianni said he wasn't concerned about the future of his job.
"Anything out of your control or anything that consumes your mind that's not focused on not getting better is a waste of time," Sirianni said.
"It only clouds the process... if you're focused on things that you can't control, that's gonna cloud that hunger and drive to get better.
"So that's all that we think about. You probably can say: "Oh, well that's coach talk" I'm not bulls****ing you. That's how I lived, that's how I've operated for. You are who your habits are and that's how I've been operating for a big portion of my life."
Depending on the outcome of the Week 6 matchup, Sirianni may find himself without a job on Monday.
