Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni agrees multi-year contract extension

After guiding the Eagles to Super Bowl glory, Nick Sirianni has earned a well-deserved contract extension—rewarding a rollercoaster tenure that's had its fair share of high-stakes drama.

The 43-year-old took the reins in 2021 and quickly turned heads by steering Philadelphia to the playoffs in each of his first three seasons.

With win totals of 9, 14, and 11 in those campaigns, Sirianni showcased a steady hand and a strong vision despite whispers of unrest heading into 2024.

Last year’s tailspin down the stretch cast a shadow over his position. The Eagles limped to the finish line in 2023, bowing out in the wild-card round and sparking a reshuffling of the coaching staff. Sirianni's grip on the job appeared to loosen as Howie Roseman, the Eagles' front-office mastermind, stepped in to bring in big-name hires in Kellen Moore (OC) and Vic Fangio (DC), moves that stirred speculation over who was really calling the shots.

Adding fuel to the fire were murmurs of friction between Sirianni and Jalen Hurts, the franchise quarterback, particularly during the preseason. However, with Moore handling play-calling duties, bringing a different dynamic compared to former OC Brian Johnson—those concerns seemed to quiet as the 2024 campaign unfolded.

Despite the ups and downs, Sirianni's resume now boasts a Super Bowl title, and that proved enough to silence the doubters. With his contract renewed, the Eagles have doubled down on their head coach, banking on stability at the top as they look to remain one of the NFC's heavyweights.

Team owner Jeffrey Lurie didn’t hold back when reaffirming the Eagles' vision for long-term excellence. "As an organization, we have always strived to create a championship culture of sustained success," Lurie said. "Nothing is more important to fostering such an environment than having tremendous leadership."

"Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach… His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team."

In short, Sirianni's seat isn’t just safe, it's cemented. Philly believes they've found their man for the long haul.

Here's some of the quick reaction from the NFL world on the extension:

Sirianni has carved out a remarkable start to his NFL head coaching career—only trailing legendary 49ers coach George Seifert for the most wins in a coach's first four seasons.

He's also etched his name in the history books as the first head coach ever to clinch four playoff appearances, two NFC titles, and a Super Bowl within his opening four-year stretch. The Eagles have flourished under Sirianni's leadership, and he’s steered the ship with poise, passion, and a clear vision of success.

Plenty of fans were ready to pull the plug on Nick Sirianni before the Eagles' Super Bowl run last season—but the front office stuck to its guns. That patience paid off in the biggest way possible, with Philly lifting the Lombardi Trophy by season’s end.

Now, with a fresh extension in hand, Sirianni is locked in to lead the Birds for the foreseeable future. With Jalen Hurts still at the controls, the Eagles remain firmly in the NFC's elite, and they’re poised to make more deep playoff runs in the years ahead.

Philadelphia’s quest to go back-to-back kicks off on Sept. 4, 2025, in a blockbuster opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
