Eagles Lock in Nick Sirianni with New Contract After Super Bowl Glory
The Philadelphia Eagles just made a big move by signing head coach Nick Sirianni to a multi-year contract extension on Monday. This comes just a few months after the 43-year-old led the team to its second Super Bowl win ever. Pretty exciting stuff, right?
Now, they didn’t spill the beans on the exact terms of the deal, but let’s be real, it’s a good bet that Sirianni’s getting a nice pay bump. I mean, who wouldn’t after pulling off a Super Bowl win?
Sirianni first joined the Eagles back in 2021, signing a five-year deal to take the reins. He was actually heading into the last year of that contract, but now, with this extension, he’s set to stay on board through at least the end of the 2025 season. Talk about job security!
In the announcement, Eagles chairman Jeffrey Lurie emphasized the importance of strong leadership in building a winning culture. He said, "Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago." Honestly, it’s hard to argue with that, given the success the team has seen under his guidance.
Under Sirianni, the Eagles have made the playoffs every single year, racking up two Super Bowl appearances and, of course, that championship. That’s no small feat!
What’s even cooler? Sirianni is the only head coach in the team’s history to have multiple Super Bowl appearances. He’s also got the third-highest winning percentage in the regular season during the Super Bowl era, right behind legends John Madden and George Allen. His combined 54 wins in both regular and postseason play are the second-most for a head coach in their first four seasons in NFL history. Pretty impressive, huh?
In his four seasons, the Eagles have a solid record of 48-20 in the regular season and 6-3 in the playoffs. Not too shabby!
And let’s not forget about the coaching tree that’s starting to grow from Sirianni’s time. Three of his former assistants have already landed head coaching gigs in the NFL: Jonathan Gannon in Arizona, Kellen Moore in New Orleans, and Shane Steichen in Indianapolis. It’s like a coaching dynasty in the making!
So, yeah, it looks like the Eagles are all in on Sirianni, and fans are definitely here for it. With the momentum from the Super Bowl win, it’ll be interesting to see how the next few seasons unfold.
