  During the 2023 NFL offseason, Sirianni lost both offensive coordinator Shane Steichen and defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon, both of whom received head coaching jobs with the Indianapolis Colts and Arizona Cardinals, respectively. The 2023 Eagles once again compiled a 10–1 regular season record to start the season, but experienced a late season slide and finished with a 1–5 record and ultimately lost out on the NFC East Division title and the #2 seed in the NFC playoffs to the Dallas Cowboys in the last week of the season. Sirianni became the first head coach in NFL history to experience a 1–5 record to end the season and make the playoffs. The Eagles were ultimately eliminated by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round of the 2023 NFL Playoffs. Sirianni was widely blamed for both the offensive and defensive regression of the Eagles in 2023. In particular, Sirianni caused a significant controversy when he removed defensive coordinator Sean Desai from defensive play calling and passed them onto former New England Patriots defensive coordinator and Detroit Lions head coach Matt Patricia, a move that ultimately backfired and led the Eagles to finish second to last in total defense. Sirianni ultimately fired Desai, Patricia, and offensive coordinator Brian Johnson after the 2023 season ended.
