Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni appeared to become embroiled in a furious argument with his own fans on Sunday.
Eagles fans, fed up with Sirianni since last season’s late collapse, booed the team off the field despite winning against the Cleveland Browns.
The most passionate ones even started shouting ‘Fire Nick!’ they chanted, while those at home wondered on social media if a coach could be fired at halftime.
The spotlight has been on Sirianni so far this season after their humiliating collapse last year that saw them go from Super Bowl contenders to being eliminated in the first round of the playoffs.
The Eagles were 2-2 entering Sunday’s game against the Cleveland Browns and had yet to win at Lincoln Financial Field this season, but they got over the line with a 20-16 victory.
Nick Sirianni appeared to become embroiled in a furious argument with his own Eagles fans.
Eagles fans booed the team off the field, despite their victory against the Cleveland Browns.
Footage showed Sirianni taunting a section of home fans sitting behind his team’s bench as the stopwatch ticked down to their victory.
He put his finger to his ear before yelling something at them before returning to the bench.
Despite failing to impress their fans, the Eagles managed to beat the Browns 20-16 thanks to DeVonta Smith’s touchdown in the fourth quarter.
Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw for 264 yards and two touchdowns, including a 45-yard throw to Smith in the fourth quarter.
Hurts also threw a 22-yard touchdown to AJ Brown, who returned along with Smith after both receivers missed time with injuries.

Trailing 20-13, the Browns drove into Eagles territory late in the game, only to settle for Dustin Hopkins’ 31-yard field goal.
The Eagles took control with 3:54 remaining and did not allow Cleveland to get the ball back, and Hurts found Brown for a 40-yard gain to end the game.
Syriannni promised changes after the bye week and delivered with a bold new haircut.
On the field, it was mostly the same old Eagles, who turned running back Saquon Barkley into a spectator, couldn’t get Hurts to connect consistently with their star receivers and had disappointing execution.
