10 best head coaches in Eagles’ franchise history

We’re ranking the 10 best head coaches in Philadelphia Eagles franchise history ahead of 2023 training camp

Philadelphia has a storied NFL franchise, but the history of head coaches reads like a list of unfinished business and mediocre shelf lives.

One of the gold standard organizations in the league, the Eagles only have eight coaches to win a playoff game in franchise history, with Doug Pederson and Nick Sirianni adding to the list over the past five years.

With training camp for 2023 fast approaching, we’re ranking the top ten head coaches in franchise history from top to bottom.

Our list includes coaches who coached at least 15 games as an Eagles head coach. In our book, wins and losses are essential, but not the only factor determining the ranking.

The Maxwell Football Club named Eagles Jalen Hurts as the Bert Bell Player of the Year, and Nick Sirianni has been chosen as the Greasy Neale Professional Coach of the Year Award.

Maxwell Football Club Director, Mark Wolpert, announced that Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has been selected as the winner of the 64th Bert Bell Professional Player of the Year Award and that second-year head coach Nick Sirianni has been chosen as the winner of the 34th Greasy Neale Professional Coach of the Year Award.
