Eagles hire Nick Sirianni to replace Doug Pederson as head coach
-
Sirianni’s Tuesday interview at Lurie’s Palm Beach, Fla., residence continued on Wednesday. On Thursday, there were reports that the decision might come down to Sirianni or Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was Denver’s head coach in 2009-10. With the Sirianni hiring, Lurie keeps alive his streak of having never hired a coach who had been a head coach elsewhere in the NFL. McDaniels carried baggage, from his disastrous tenure in Denver, to having backed out on the Colts in 2018 after accepting their head coaching position. That transgression, which caused agent Bob LaMonte to drop McDaniels as a client, led to Reich’s departure from the Eagles. Strange synergy there, with Reich’s protege about to take over in Philly.
