It is a logical and intelligent and, certainly, well-deserved next step for the Philadelphia Eagles and Head Coach Nick Sirianni: The team on Monday announced that it has signed Sirianni to a multi-year contract extension, keeping in place the continuity that has helped make the franchise so incredibly successful.
"As an organization, we have always strived to create a championship culture of sustained success," said Philadelphia Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie. "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 since we hired him four years ago. His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team. I am excited for what the future holds for the Philadelphia Eagles."
Sirianni, hired prior to the 2021 season, has had an unprecedented run in his four seasons as head coach. The Eagles have reached the postseason in all four years with two Super Bowl appearances and a World Championship. He has been adaptable, forward-thinking, passionate, and culture-building in his time in Philadelphia.
Along with Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman, Siranni has in place a team with a roster that has great talent, enthusiasm, and drive. Roseman and Sirianni are clearly in lockstep as they prepare for 2025 and beyond.
The defining principles for Sirianni, the daily message that he delivers every day to his players – tough, detailed, and together – is something the Eagles lived by last season and will again in 2025 and beyond. The record of success over the last four seasons has been staggering.
- Sirianni's 48-20 regular-season record in four seasons, 54-23 including playoffs, gives him the second-most wins in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons (George Seifert, San Francisco).
- Sirianni has the third-highest winning percentage (.706) of the Super Bowl era in the regular season behind Hall of Famers John Madden and George Allen (min. 50 games).
- He is the first coach in NFL history to earn four playoff appearances, two conference titles, and a Super Bowl within his first four seasons as head coach.
- Sirianni is the third head coach to advance to multiple Super Bowls and win one within his first four seasons.
- Sirianni is the first head coach in Eagles history with multiple Super Bowl appearances and the Eagles have the third-best winning percentage since Sirianni became head coach in 2021.
- Offensively, the Eagles are third in points per game (26.7), second in rushing offense (153.9 yards per game), third in third-down percentage (45.3 percent), fourth in red zone efficiency (61.7 percent), and sixth in total offense (367.6 yards per game) since Sirianni's arrival.
- The Eagles have ranked in the top eight in both points and yards offensively in each of the past three seasons.
- Defensively, the Eagles are fourth in both total defense (316.2 yards per game) and sacks (183) since 2021. In terms of yards, the Eagles have had a top-10 unit in three of Sirianni's four seasons, including the league's top-ranked unit in 2024 for the first time since 1991.
- In 2024, the Eagles finished 18-3 on their way to a second Super Bowl title in franchise history, winning a team-record 10 straight games and scoring an NFL record 145 points in the playoffs. Sirianni became the fourth coach in NFL history to win 18 games in a season.
- Also in 2024, the Eagles set a league record with 3,866 rushing yards in the regular season and playoffs, led by running back Saquon Barkley's record-setting 2,504 on the way to The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors and being named a finalist for the NFL MVP Award. Philadelphia became the second team in history to feature the NFL's rushing champion and the league's top-ranked defense.
- Sirianni has maintained a winner even with three of his assistants being hired as head coaches (Shane Steichen, who went to Indianapolis; Jonathan Gannon, who is Arizona's head coach; and Kellen Moore, now the head coach in New Orleans). The 2025 season will mark his fourth straight season with a different offensive coordinator.
