While the Dallas Cowboys coaching staff appears to be set, the Philadelphia Eagles are still making moves to surround recently-hired Nick Sirianni.

Sirianni comes over from the Indianapolis Colts, where he served as offensive coordinator under former Eagles assisstant Frank Reich. The hope in Philadelphia is that Sirianni will help turn around quarterback Carson Wentz after Wentz had a miserable 2020 season.

Wentz's best career season came when playing for Sirianni's mentor, Reich. Wentz helped lead the Eagles to the number one seed in the NFC before tearing his ACL late in the 2017 season. Nick Foles went on to lead the Eagles to the Super Bowl, and Wentz has had his fair share of struggles since then.

Perhaps a new coaching staff will help Wentz get back on track after the quarterback reportedly butted heads with former head coach Doug Pederson. Philadelphia opted to choose Wentz over their Super Bowl-winning coach, putting even more pressure on the quarterback to succeed.

Eagles are hiring Dak Prescott's former quarterback coach.

In a funny twist, the Eagles are hiring a coach with ties to Dak Prescott to hopefully fix Carson Wentz. Ian Rapoport reported on Wednesday that Florida Gators offensive coordinator and former Mississippi State assistant coach Brian Johnson will be taking over as quarterback coach in Philadelphia.

The #Eagles are hiring University of Florida OC Brian Johnson as their new QB coach, source said. The former Utah QB has impressed in the college ranks, including at Mississippi State where he served as Dak Prescott’s QB coach.

Johnson served as Mississippi State's quarterback coach from 2014 to 2016. In Johnson's first season in Starkville, Dak Prescott had a breakout season where Mississippi State ascended to number one in the national rankings for five weeks and Prescott finished in the top-10 of Heisman Trophy voting.

Prescott followed that up by arguably having an even better season in 2015 — throwing for 3,793 yards and 29 touchdowns on a 66 percent completion percentage in his final season on the collegiate level. Prescott became an even better passer while working with Johnson and now-Florida head coach Dan Mullen before being drafted by the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth-round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

Johnson spent a season as offensive coordinator for the Houston Cougars before reuniting with Mullen at Florida from 2018 to 2020. With the Gators, Johnson played a role in developing Kyle Trask into a legitimate Heisman Trophy contender and future draft pick.

After all of the debates on who is better between Prescott and Wentz, it is pretty ironic that the Eagles are hiring Prescott's former quarterback coach in hopes of turning around Wentz's performance.

If Carson Wentz stays with the #Eagles, the coach who helped Dak Prescott become what he’s become will attempt to fix Carson Wentz. https://t.co/xUICAq36N4

There is also a chance that the Eagles decide to roll with Jalen Hurts — who has been compared to Prescott in the past, oddly enough — at quarterback. Hurts took over the starting quarterback duties towards the end of the season in place of Wentz. Perhaps Sirianni believes the young signal-caller provides the best chance to win. We'll see.

But for now, it is pretty funny to think that the Eagles are hoping a coach tied to Dak Prescott is the best man to handle improving Carson Wentz.
