Recent ranking gets to the heart of Jalen Hurts and Sirianni's bond
Most of you young Philadelphia Eagles fans will find this hard to believe, while some of the older die-hards can take a second and reminisce. Once upon a time, journalists were asked and encouraged to triple-check the facts before publishing a story. As you've probably figured out, we've ventured into a new era of sports reporting. Steering clear of rumors was often the rule of thumb in the days of yore. Now, reporting them isn't just welcomed. It's encouraged. The Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts era in Philadelphia has already given us enough stories to last a lifetime, but one of the best we've read came by way of a recent FOX Sports ranking. This description of Jalen Hurts and Nick Sirianni might be the most accurate Eagles fans have seen in a long time It doesn't take much to stir the pot in a sports-crazed town like Philadelphia. Unsurprisingly to no one, when the Eagles aren't performing well, there is often more to talk about, but who would have thought? The Nick Sirianni and Jalen Hurts era has become one of the best (and most widely-discussed) eras of Birds football we have ever witnessed. Nick was the coach no one believed in. Jalen was the second-round quarterback that fans couldn't believe their favorite team had drafted that early and invested a high selection in. Fast forward to the present. Nick and Jalen have helped lead the Birds to two Super Bowl appearances during Coach Sirianni's first four seasons at the helm, and had the Kansas City Chiefs groundsman not been responsible for preparing the turf, Philadelphia would, without question, be 2-0 under Nick on football's grandest stage. But, wait... More rumors... We've been bombarded with theories that detail disharmony between Coach and QB1. Thank Heaven for a recent take by FOX Sports' Henry McKenna. He recently ranked the NFL's best marriages between quarterbacks and their respective teams. The only thing better than Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' top-five ranking is the explanation of the dynamic between the star signal-caller and the man who patrols the sideline. "Opposites attract. Hurts is the calmest, chillest, most understated superstar in the NFL. Nick Sirianni is a ball of energy and emotion. And they don't always seem to like each other, but they love the same things and that's how they keep their love alive. I think it's because Howie Roseman lives in the space between the two guys, linking Sirianni and Hurts with personnel that suits both of them. Because you know … Philly also has Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, among others. It's one big family, fitting for the City of Brotherly Love." Finally! Someone got it right. Now, McKenna's list isn't perfect. Rankings that find any reason to place Baker Mayfield ahead of Jalen Hurts have grown tired. That is, however, another story for another day. Coach Sirianni and Jalen Hurts have come a long way since that speech about flowers and fertilizer. They haven't lost very often, and honestly, most wouldn't mind if Nick had another speech like that one in him somewhere. Two people couldn't be any more different. Jalen is cool. Nick runs hot. Jalen is reserved. Nick is emotional. Jalen is a southern kid. Nick was born in Jamestown, New York. But, they're both Eagles through and through. That's what ties them together. They have a lot of wins left in them, and something tells us they'll keep each other on their toes and focused.

Steelers HC Mike Tomlin is unfireable no matter what in 2025
Steelers HC Mike Tomlin is unfireable no matter what in 2025 For many, many seasons, the Pittsburgh Steelers fanbase has been divided on head coach Mike Tomlin. Many fans consider him a future Hall of Famer and one of the elite coaches in the NFL. There is another significant portion of the fanbase who think Tomlin is what is keeping this season from winning a Super Bowl and always will be until he's fired. The reality probably falls somewhere in between. Nevertheless, it doesn't matter what the fans think; it only matters what the Steelers ownership thinks of Tomlin and history says they are happy with him and the job he's doing in Pittsburgh. This is a sentiment shared by Steelers beat writer Ray Fittipaldo. He appeared on the Rothman and Ice podcast and made it clear that Tomlin's job is absolutely safe at least through 2025. "[Tomlin is] as safe as can be because he's in the first year of a three-year contract that is paying him $50 million," Fittipaldo said. "Unless something goes terribly wrong and they go 3 and 14, or something like that - which I don't totally expect - you're not going to hear anything about Mike Tomlin." We have long said that Tomlin is unfireable and the Steelers will give him all the room he needs, no matter what the team's record. Tomlin has never had a season under .500 since taking over the head coaching job in Pittsburgh but even if the team were to backslide for a season or two, the Rooneys aren't going to just give up on him.
