Nick Sirianni’s sideline outburst with fans was ‘embarrassing’ for Eagles brass
NY Post
Nick Sirianni is widely known for his brash and lively energy on the Eagles sidelines, but his latest outburst on Sunday did not sit well with some in the organization.
Sirianni had a back-and-forth moment with fans behind the Eagles bench in the closing minutes of their win over the Browns at Lincoln Financial Field.
While the Eagles coach said Sunday that he was just “having fun” with the fans, two Eagles executives called the moment “embarrassing,” the Philadelphia Inquirer reported.
However, two others gave their support to the coach, especially when considering how Philadelphia fans can be plenty vocal toward their home team.
On Monday, Sirianni apologized for the heated exchange.
“I’m sorry and disappointed on how my energy was directed at the end of the game,” he said in a news conference on Monday. “My energy should be all in on coaching, motivating, and celebrating with our guys and I need to have better wisdom and discernment on when to use that energy and that wasn’t the time.”
The first day of the rest of Daniel Jones’ dwindling time with the Giants arrived Wednesday, with Jones in the building, in the meetings, on the practice field (although not doing very much) and not at all part of the game plan for the next game, relegated to a non-participant role for the remainder of the season.
