This led to a period of introspection and restructuring within the organization, with changes implemented across coaching staff, game strategies, and team dynamics.

Despite the setbacks, the Eagles regrouped and embarked on a remarkable journey in the current season, finishing with a stellar 14-win record in the regular season and securing three more victories in the playoffs.
