Nick Sirianni is among the winningest head coaches to start an NFL career. However, a loaded team and a highly criticized opening press conference have constantly caused pundits to ridicule the Eagles head coach.
Finishing up year four as an NFL head coach, Sirianni has been to two Super Bowls and is one win away from being one of the highest-paid coaches in the NFL.
During the Super Bowl pregame show on Fox, Rams head coach Sean McVay called Sirianni the most “disrespected coach in the league.”

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 each of 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). Sirianni is the 12th NFL head coach to lead their teams to a 17+ win season (including playoffs), joining Bill Belichick (four), Mike Ditka, Joe Gibbs, Chuck Noll, Bill Parcells, Andy Reid, Ron Rivera, George Seifert, Mike Shanahan, Don Shula and Bill Walsh. He is one of seven head coaches to win 14+ regular-season games multiple times.
According to Elias Sports, Sirianni (.706, 48-20) owns the 3rd-highest regular-season winning percentage by a head coach in the Super Bowl Era (min. 50 games), trailing only John Madden (.759, 1969-78) and
George Allen (.712, 1966-77). Overall, it is the 6th-highest mark in NFL history, behind Guy Chamberlin (.784, 1922-27), Madden, Vince Lombardi (.738, 1959-67, ‘69), Ray Flaherty (.720, 1936-42), and Allen.
Sirianni won the 2nd-most regular-season games with an NFL head coach in their first four career years, behind George Seifert (52-12, .813). He also joins Seifert (three) as the only NFL head coach to win 14+ regular-season games twice in their first four career years.
