Nick Sirianni didn’t walk into Philadelphia with much fanfare. His first press conference?
Let’s just say it left more questions than answers. But four-plus seasons later, that uncertain beginning feels like a distant memory-because all Sirianni has done since is win.
And win. And win some more.
With Sunday’s 31-0 shutout over the Las Vegas Raiders, Sirianni not only got his team back in the win column, he added another milestone to an already impressive résumé. That victory marked his 57th as head coach of the Eagles, pushing him past legendary coach Paul Brown for the second-most wins by a head coach in their first five NFL seasons. Let that sink in-Nick Sirianni, once doubted and dissected, now trails only one man on that list.
And in franchise history? He’s climbing fast there, too.
Only Greasy Neale (63 wins) and Andy Reid (130 wins) have more victories as Eagles head coaches. Neale gave Philly its first two NFL championships back in the late 1940s.
Reid, of course, built a perennial contender across 14 seasons. Sirianni, in just five, already sits third on that list.
What’s striking isn’t just the volume of wins-it’s the consistency. Sirianni owns a 57-25 record, good for just under a 70% win rate.
That’s elite territory, no matter how you slice it. And if not for a slippery Super Bowl field and a questionable holding call, he might be 2-for-2 on football’s biggest stage.
It’s also worth noting that Sirianni’s coaching tree is already sprouting real branches. Shane Steichen, Jonathan Gannon, and Kellen Moore have all emerged from his staff and taken on head coaching roles of their own. That’s not just a sign of success-it’s a sign of influence.
The Eagles have become so accustomed to winning under Sirianni that every loss feels like a gut punch. That’s the byproduct of sustained excellence.
And while Philadelphia isn’t exactly known for its patience, it knows how to respect a winner. Sirianni’s teams play hard, they play smart, and they play for him.
That’s not something you can fake.
For a while, the narrative around Sirianni focused on whether he was the mastermind or just the beneficiary of a talented roster. But at some point, the results speak louder than the questions. This team keeps showing up, keeps competing, and keeps making history under his leadership.
Nick Sirianni doesn’t need to win the press conference anymore. He wins on Sundays-and that’s what matters.
