Hurts concussion and subsequent absence leaves HC Sirianni on a pedestal to lead the Eagles – what does this mean for the culture?
The Eagles heavily rely on a robust run game supported by Saquon Barkley, arguably their greatest resource when it comes to winning football games; however, Jalen Hurts, the undeniable most valuable leader is met with a concussion and now, Nick Sirriani is left to replace this role. Some question if Nick is ‘in the way’ of Eagles success…. including me!
We witnessed some spots of team dysfunction in an easily winnable game last Sunday against the Commanders. As Super Bowl favorites, are the Eagles still poised to make it to New Orleans despite a critical absence on the roster? Even if Hurts returns, does that ensure victory for Philly in the postseason, or will the ‘shift’ of culture be too overwhelming because of the HCs direction.
This is a common theme observed in workplaces as well – an exemplary leader is absent from the fold, then exposing someone else, or dominating groups to shift the culture. Have you observed this in your personal life, and if so, how have you managed to still find success?
