On Football: Nick Sirianni’s success is often overshadowed by self-inflicted distractions

Associated Press  

Nick Sirianni has the highest winning percentage among active NFL coaches and the fifth-best in NFL history. And so, I’ve got to have better wisdom and discernment of when to use that energy, and that wasn’t the time.” After the Eagles beat Kansas City on the road in a Monday night game last year, Sirianni mocked Chiefs fans as he walked off the field. He exchanged words with former Eagles three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz after Washington’s comeback win against Philadelphia. Ertz downplayed the exchange on Thursday, saying he has a great relationship with Sirianni and “no ill feelings.” Ertz caught the go-ahead touchdown pass from Nick Foles when the Eagles beat New England in the Super Bowl. “Sirianni has the vibe of a fan who won a contest to be the team’s head coach for a day,” ProFootballTalk.com posted on X. Sirianni’s chest-bumping, sideline-prancing, expletive-tossing personality has irked opponents and their fans since the Eagles hired him in 2021.
