The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed the top spot in a new ranking of NFC East general manager and head coach combinations, cementing their status as the division’s premier franchise following their dominant Super Bowl LIX victory.
According to a comprehensive analysis by Yardbarker, the pairing of head coach Nick Sirianni and general manager Howie Roseman represents the gold standard for front office and sideline leadership in the NFC East. Sirianni boasts the sixth-highest career winning percentage in NFL history with a 48-20 regular-season record through four seasons, while the duo has delivered two NFC championships and a Lombardi Trophy from Super Bowl LIX.
Roseman’s two Super Bowl titles place him among elite company as the fifth executive in league history to win championships with more than one quarterback, joining Pro Football Hall of Fame front office legends. The immediate aftermath of their Super Bowl triumph strengthened their position even further, with Sirianni signing a multiyear contract extension in May 2025.
The partnership overcame significant adversity to reach these heights. Following a disappointing 2023 season collapse that saw the Eagles lose five of their final six games, many questioned whether the duo could bounce back. Their response was emphatic, as the Eagles returned to the Super Bowl and defeated the same Chiefs team that had ended their dreams 24 months earlier.
While the Eagles claimed the top spot, the rest of the NFC East fell short. The Washington Commanders ranked second with Dan Quinn and Adam Peters, who guided the franchise from 4-13 to the NFC Championship Game behind rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. The Dallas Cowboys ranked third with Jerry Jones and Brian Schottenheimer, weighed down by a 29-year Super Bowl drought. The New York Giants finished fourth, as Brian Daboll and Joe Schoen have managed just a 9-25 record since their promising 2022 playoff appearance.
Sirianni has become the first NFL coach ever to reach the playoffs four times, win two conference titles and a Super Bowl in his first four seasons. Combined with Roseman’s consistent roster building through the draft and free agency, the Eagles have established themselves as the benchmark for successful GM-coach partnerships at the highest level of professional football.
