Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni spent three seasons working under Frank Reich with the Indianapolis Colts. And now with Reich getting fired from his job as the head coach of the Carolina Panthers, Sirianni could bring him in to help the Eagles.
During a press conference, Nick Sirianni was asked about the possibility of bringing in Frank Reich to his coaching staff to help his team. While he made it clear he hadn’t really given too much thought to the idea, he certainly didn’t rule it out.
“You know what, it’s obviously very early with everything that’s going on, so I haven’t thought about that quite yet,” Sirianni said according to Pro Football Talk. “As far as bringing somebody in, in the middle of the year, what goes into that, a lot of times is familiarity with the person. So that’s what goes into that quite often, is the familiarity with the coach, the relationship with the coach.
“But, I’m not there yet. Obviously, we just finished up our evaluation of our game and starting in on San Francisco.”
Sirianni is obviously quite familiar with Reich so the move would make sense. We’ll have to see if it’s something the Eagles decide to do down their stretch run.
