Nick Sirianni is either saving the Philadelphia Eagles’ season — or it is already over.
NFL fans were blown away on Sunday by an image of Sirianni that quickly made its way through social media.

A grainy photo of a man wearing a tight-fitting Eagles shirt initially created confusion.
Over time, Philly fans realized that it was Sirianni — with one huge change.
The Eagles’ head coach had shaved his head, leading to an almost unrecognizable Sirianni coaching against the Cleveland Browns on Sunday.
“He’s gonna need a new job soon,” one fan tweeted.
“Went with the Britney Spears look,” a second fan posted. “We’re so cooked.”
“Sirianni could make the Jaguars right now,” a third fan joked.
“Welp, it’s over,” a fourth fan wrote.
The Jacksonville Jaguars could soon be looking for a new head coach.
The Jags were blown out 35-16 by Caleb Williams and the Chicago Bears, on a day when Louis Rees-Zammit met NFL commissioner Roger Goodell and Cole Kmet made a huge position change.
Jacksonville HC Doug Pederson entered Sunday facing the same situation as Sirianni, as both coaches faced mounting job scrutiny due to underperforming teams.

With Jalen Hurts at quarterback and big-name talent on both sides of the ball, Philly was expected to be a Super Bowl contender in 2024.
A weak finish last season bled into this year, though, and the Eagles entered Sunday a flat 2-2.
Playing at home, Philly was predicted to beat Deshaun Watson and the Browns.
But Sirianni answered a bye week by shaving his head, leaving Eagles fans to wonder what exactly was going on with their NFL team.
“Man tryna look different so the GM forget what he looks like so he doesn’t get fired,” one fan tweeted.
“Coach acting up!” a second fan wrote.
“The jail yard cut, birds are so back!” a third fan said.
Sirianni is 36-19 since taking over the Eagles and almost won the Super Bowl in 2023.
But in the win-now NFL, Philly fans clearly want more from their almost unrecognizable head coach.
