Sirianni in 2021 embarked on his head-coaching career with the Eagles by calling the plays.
The Eagles started out losing five of their first seven games but rallied to finish 9-8 before a wild-card playoff loss to the Buccaneers. During that season, Sirianni actually handed off the play-calling to Shane Steichen, the offensive coordinator. There was no formal announcement and the change was not made public, but Steichen became the primary play-caller in the second half of last season.
The move helped make Sirianni a better head coach and helped the Eagles soar through the season, averaging 28.1 points a game, third in the league, behind only the Chiefs and Bills . Along the way, Sirianni learned something about himself: He enjoyed the game-planning each week more than the actual play-calling. Nick Sirianni said he enjoys game-planning more than play-calling.“It’s just the process,’’ Sirianni said.
