A year ago, it looked like Nick Sirianni might be out as Eagles head coach. Now, he’s back in the Super Bowl

Almost exactly 14 months ago, the tension was beginning to show around the Philadelphia Eagles.

The team’s senior advisor to the general manager and chief security officer Dom DiSandro – colloquially known as “Big Dom” – had just gotten into a confrontation with an opposing player and the team was about to embark on a 1-5 stretch to end the 2023 season.

They would go onto lose in the first round of the playoffs, a disappointing end to the campaign for a team coming off a trip to the Super Bowl the previous year.

With a veteran-laden roster and burden of expectation on his shoulders, the pressure appeared to be getting to head coach Nick Sirianni.

But fast-forward to the present day and it’s a much different story in Philadelphia.

The Eagles are back in the Super Bowl for the second time in the head coach’s tenure and have the chance to exorcise demons as they face their opponents from two years ago, the Kansas City Chiefs.
As the Eagles’ big victory over the Washington Commanders in the NFC Championship game wrapped up, receiver DeVonta Smith hugged Sirianni and the pair exchanged a few words.

“Two times in four years. Let’s keep this sh*t going, man. Love you.”

The moment between the head coach and the team’s No. 2 pass catcher was a microcosm of Sirianni’s relationship with his players.

Together with general manager Howie Roseman, Sirianni has helped construct arguably the best roster in the NFL. Featuring some larger-than-life characters, Sirianni has helped mold this consortium of talent into a brotherhood and a winning machine.

But that harmony hasn’t always been there.
