The Philadelphia Eagles are in full celebration mode after winning Super Bowl LIX, marking the franchise’s second Super Bowl title. While the confetti is still settling, the organization is already shifting its focus to the future, with a priority on securing key figures from their championship run. At the top of that list is locking down their head coach, ensuring the leadership that guided them to victory remains in place for continued success.
Despite receiving limited recognition across the league, veteran coach has cemented his status as one of the NFL’s elite coaches. He’s joined an exclusive group of coaches to win a Super Bowl within their first four seasons while maintaining a winning percentage above 70%. Only legends like John Madden and Vince Lombardi have posted similar success rates.
As he enters the final year of his original contract with the Eagles, extension talks are set to kick off immediately. NFL Insider Adam Schefter emphasized the urgency during an appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, stating, “I think what will happen is they’ll sit down to do the deal because Nick Sirianni is heading into the last year of his contract. You never want a head coach headed into the last year of his contract.”
The big question now is how much Sirianni’s new deal will be worth. Philadelphia initially paid him one of the league’s lowest coaching salaries when he was hired in 2021, but given his remarkable success, that figure is expected to rise significantly.
Fresh off their Super Bowl LIX victory, the Philadelphia Eagles are expected to prioritize a contract extension for head coach Nick Sirianni. With just one year remaining on his current deal, both sides are gearing up for negotiations that will likely reflect Sirianni’s impressive résumé—highlighted by a Super Bowl win and a career winning percentage exceeding 70%, a feat matched only by coaching legends like John Madden and Vince Lombardi.
NFL Insider Adam Schefter discussed the situation on The Pat McAfee Show, stating, “If you’re Nick Sirianni, and you won a Super Bowl, and you’ve got a year left, and you’re sitting down to talk about your deal, I’m sure the Eagles want to keep that number down, and Nick Sirianni is gonna want to drive that number up.”
The key question revolves around Sirianni’s potential salary. “I think all of us, right now, could sit down and figure out what we believe to be a fair number,” Schefter continued. “Is it going to be $14, $15 million? I don’t think they’re gonna pay him like the upper-echelon coaches, I don’t think so… By the way, that’s the job of his agent to argue that.”
Regardless of the final figure, Sirianni’s success ensures he’ll secure a significant raise from the modest deal he signed in 2021.
There’s no major contract dispute looming. Philadelphia has never been hesitant to spend on its coaches, and the Eagles have consistently praised Sirianni in recent months. “His future is going to be great,” said Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie when speaking about Sirianni ahead of the Super Bowl. “We’ve never discussed contracts publicly in 30 years, and I’m not starting now. But he’s great.” Now that Sirianni is a Super Bowl-winning head coach, a hefty contract extension is likely on the horizon.
