A move that has been speculated on for weeks has happened after Ian Rapoport reported that Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has fired defensive coordinator Sean Desai.
The Eagles finished the season with six losses in their last seven games, with those losses by an average of 15 points, and their only win since Week 12 came against the Giants after they nearly blew a 17-point lead.
Nick Sirianni did the firing, an NFL source said, another indication that the #Eagles HC will be returning.
The Desai departure was obvious, as will be Patricia joining him. More changes will be coming to Sirianni’s staff.

Desai was stripped of playcalling duties before Week 15, and the move comes after Philadelphia finished their second-half collapse with a 32-9 loss to the Buccaneers at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Monday night.
With the move now official, we’re looking at seven realistic candidates who could replace Sean Desai and Matt Patricia.
