The recent NFL coaching decisions have stirred conversations around the controversial “tush push” play. Colts coach Shane Steichen and Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon, both instrumental in the Eagles’ Super Bowl run, surprisingly voted to ban the play, which has sparked debate among fans and analysts alike.
- Colts and Cardinals voted to ban tush-push.
- Steichen and Gannon's coaching backgrounds noted.
- Sirianni expected support from former coaches.
- Saints' Moore opposed the ban proposal.
- Future coaching changes may impact votes.
- Eagles' Super Bowl success influences coaching roles.
In a surprising twist, 22 teams, including Indianapolis and Arizona, supported the prohibition of all pushing of the runner. This decision comes after Steichen and Gannon left their roles as offensive and defensive coordinators in Philadelphia, respectively, following the 2022 season.
As Eagles coach Nick Sirianni humorously noted on 2025-05-22 17:06:00, Gannon and Steichen owe their current positions to that very play. With the Saints’ Kellen Moore also opposing the proposal, it raises the question: can the Eagles maintain their dominance without their signature move?
This unexpected decision highlights the evolving nature of NFL strategies. Are teams moving away from plays that rely heavily on physical pushing? The implications are vast, especially for teams that have thrived on such tactics.
- 22 teams voted to ban the “tush push,” including the Colts and Cardinals.
- Steichen and Gannon, former Eagles coordinators, now face questions about their influence.
- Nick Sirianni humorously pointed out the irony of their vote.
- The Saints, under Kellen Moore, opposed the ban, indicating differing strategies.
As the NFL season approaches, fans will be eager to see how teams adapt their strategies without the “tush push.” Will the Eagles continue to innovate, or will this decision reshape the league’s playing field?
