Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie declines to discuss Nick Sirianni’s contract during Super Bowl opening night

Nick Sirianni has reached his second Super Bowl in his first four years as the Eagles’ head coach. Still, his contract is set to expire, and he and Howie Roseman are looking for long-term security.

On Super Bowl LIX’s opening night at the Caesars Superdome, Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie declined to discuss Sirianni’s contract before Sunday’s game.

Lurie is one of three individual owners in league history to reach the Super Bowl at least four times with three different head coaches (Nick Sirianni, Doug Pederson, and Andy Reid), joining Pro Football Hall of Famers Pat Bowlen and Al Davis.

According to Elias Sports, Nick Sirianni is the third NFL head coach to advance to multiple Super Bowls in their first four career years, joining Joe Gibbs (1982, ‘83) and Mike Tomlin (2008, ‘10) in that category. Sirianni is the first Super Bowl Era head coach to make the playoffs in their first four career seasons while reaching the Super Bowl multiple times (also Super Bowl LVII). He is also the only Eagles head coach to advance to two Super Bowls and is the second to appear in multiple NFL championship games (Greasy Neale from 1947-49).

Overall, Sirianni is the fifth Super Bowl Era head coach to earn postseason berths in each of their first four career years at the helm, joining John Harbaugh (2008-11 Ravens), Bill Cowher (1992-95 Steelers), John Robinson (1983-86 Rams) and Chuck Knox (1973-76 Rams).
