Nick Sirianni is one of the most accomplished head coaches in NFL history. Through his first four seasons, he has become one of the most accomplished coaches in the league. Just hours before Super Bowl LIX kicks off, the Eagles’ top guy is in line to make millions with a win.
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, one of the lowest-paid head coaches is in line for a significant pay raise with a win over Andy Reid.
Siriani makes $7 million per season and is one of the lowest-paid NFL head coaches. He initially signed a five-year, $35 million deal in January 2021 that is set to expire after the 2025 season.
Sirianni, 43, is 48-20 in the regular season over his four years with the Eagles and has led Philadelphia to the Super Bowl in two of the last three years. Eagles CEO Jeff Lurie told reporters this week that Siriani “has done a phenomenal job” and called him “an incredible leader.”
Owner Jeffrey Lurie had this to say when asked about Sirianni during Super Bowl opening night.
“His future is going to be great,” Lurie said Monday. “We never talk about contracts or whatever publicly in 30 years, so I’m not going to start now. But he’s great.”
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 the only Eagles’ head coach to advance to two Super Bowls and the second to appear in numerous NFL championship games (Greasy Neale from 1947-49).
Overall, Sirianni is the fifth Super Bowl Era head coach to earn postseason berths in 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).
