Why so unserious?: Philadelphia Eagles replace Sean Desai with Matt Patricia, sort of - PHLY
Despite apparently being in an emergency at 10-3, the Eagles surely know Patricia is not Fangio. In his seven seasons as Patriots defensive coordinator and three years as Detroit Lions head coach, Patricia’s defense never finished in the top 10 in defensive DVOA. Those three Lions defenses, when Patricia was away from Bill Belichick, from 2018-2020 finished, chronologically, 21st, 23rd and 32nd. From a decision-making perspective, there are no comforting explanations. If this was Sirianni’s doing alone, it’s an uneasy reflection on the steadiness of his hand.
