When Nick Sirianni took the reins in Philadelphia, there were more questions than answers. Fast forward five seasons, and he’s not just silencing the doubters - he’s building a legacy that could eventually place him among the greats in Eagles history.
Let’s start with the numbers. Sirianni’s winning percentage is climbing into rare air, the kind of territory that gets you mentioned in the same breath as the legends.
He’s already taken the Eagles to two Super Bowls and brought one Lombardi Trophy back to Broad Street. That alone puts him in elite company.
In fact, when it comes to head coaches who have led Philadelphia to a championship, the list is short: Earl “Greasy” Neale, Buck Shaw, Doug Pederson - and now Nick Sirianni. That’s it.
Four names. One hand.
And only two of those names - Pederson and Sirianni - have delivered a Super Bowl win in the modern era. That’s no small feat in a league where sustained success is brutally hard to come by. So here’s the question worth asking: what happens if Sirianni brings home another?
There are critics, sure. Some still question his play-calling chops or his X’s-and-O’s pedigree.
But leadership? Motivation?
Culture-building? That’s where Sirianni shines.
And this season might be one of his finest examples yet. In a year filled with noise - injuries, expectations, and the usual Philly pressure cooker - he’s kept the locker room focused and the team in the hunt.
This isn’t the same coach who stumbled through his first press conference, looking like the moment might be too big for him. That guy is long gone.
Today’s Sirianni is composed, confident, and fully in command - of both the media room and the sideline. He’s earned the respect that comes with winning, and more importantly, he’s earned the trust of his players.
With three games left in the regular season, the Eagles are sitting in the NFC’s third seed. There’s work still to be done, no doubt. But they’re right in the thick of the playoff picture, and that’s a testament to the steady hand guiding them.
No, Sirianni isn’t perfect. But in a city that demands toughness, resilience, and results, he’s proving to be exactly what Philadelphia needs.
He’s not just coaching the Eagles - he’s embodying them. And if this run ends with another deep playoff push or even another Super Bowl parade down Broad Street, don’t be surprised if we start talking about Nick Sirianni not just as a good coach, but as one of the best this franchise has ever seen.
