Nick Sirianni has more than proven himself as an NFL head coach. The second-year head man has the Philadelphia Eagles back in the Super Bowl.
He’s come a long way in Philadelphia since his hire was mostly criticized. After all, the 41-year-old was a relatively obscure offensive coordinator in Indianapolis before the Eagles hired him following the firing of Doug Pederson after the 2020 season.
This year was a masterclass in coaching. Instead of using Jalen Hurts in a traditional, pro-style offense, the Eagles instead played to Hurts’ strengths. This unlocked one of the league’s best offenses, as they dominated teams on the ground and through the air. Newly-acquired AJ Brown was dynamic, and second-year receiver Devonta Smith realized his full potential. Coupled with a dynamic defense and it’s not hard to see why the Eagles had the best record in the NFL and are in the super bowl this year. Sirianni has a great case for Coach of the Year.
And, with Super Bowl Week getting underway, Monday was media day. And, some knucklehead asked Sirianni the worst question. But, he gave the best answer.
Nick Sirianni was asked who on the Eagles he wouldn't let his daughter date.
"My daughter is five years old."
Good to have Super Bowl Media Day back at full throttle!

Yeah, that’s a ridiculously inappropriate question to ask. If you are going to ask, you better darn well make sure the coach doesn’t have a daughter that belongs in Kindergarten.
Yikes times a million…that person should be escorted out
