Eagles coach Nick Sirianni wanted revenge on Colts for Frank Reich firing, and got it
For three seasons, Nick Sirianni oversaw offensive playcalling for Frank Reich’s Indianapolis Colts, a role that helped him land the head coaching position with the Philadelphia Eagles.
Not only did Sirianni want to get his Eagles to 9-1 this year, but he was also driven to defeat the Colts.
Following the Eagles’ stunning comeback victory over Indianapolis two weeks ago, Sirianni made it clear that he intended to hold the Colts accountable for firing his mentor, Reich.
In his post-game press conference, Sirianni appeared on the point of tears.
That feeling was undoubtedly the cause of Sirianni’s fervor, which made him feel compelled to approach the benches and shout something into the stands as soon as the victory was assured.You won’t see a coach do this too often.
Coaches can sometimes make it personal when they face a team who fired them before. You don’t often see coaches get that emotional about beating a team that fired a friend. Sirianni is an emotional coach, and he didn’t hold back his feelings about the win over Indianapolis.
