He shaved his head!
Sirianni arrived to Lincoln Financial Field with a fresh buzzcut. It was as tight as it gets. The hair dresser (if he didn't do it himself) sheared his head with the smallest clipper guard possible without going fully bald.

— John Clark (@JClarkNBCS) October 13, 2024I understand the intended sentiment here. The meaning of the haircut is two-fold.
Sirianni is trying to shake up the energy after a frustrating 2-2 start to his fourth year as head coach of the Eagles. He is also trying to prove that things like appearance don't matter right now. It's all business.
With that being said, this is a classic cry for help.
Take Britney Spears, for example. She shaved her head in direct response to the constant media scrutiny and presence of paparazzi. It was something she described as a "radical spiritual act."
This sudden switch-up from Nick Sirianni is eerily similar to the pop star's infamous meltdown in 2007, though not quite as extreme. It feels like he shaved his head in direct response to constant headlines and calls for him to be fired. It could also be described as a "radical spiritual act" that is intended to provide a new outlook on what has been a rollercoaster season thus far.
Sirianni used to have a luscious head of hair.

Regardless of his reason for the decision, Sirianni's haircut seems like an overreaction.
