(WNY News Now) In honor of a coaching legacy, Nick Sirianni, head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, will be inducted into the Chautauqua County Sports Hall of Fame alongside his father and two siblings.
In poker, a four-of-a-kind is an extraordinary hand.
With the youngest member joining his father and two elder brothers as inductees into the Chautauqua County Sports Hall of Fame, Four of a Kind also tells the tale of an extraordinary coaching family in Chautauqua County.
When Nick Sirianni, the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, joins the Hall of Honor in 2025, he will join his brothers Mike (2022) and Jay (2023) as well as his father Fran (2018). In short, the Siriannis were destined to be coaches, and they have all achieved great success: Nick in the NFL, Mike at Washington & Jefferson College, and Fran and Jay at Southwestern Central School.
Nick played three sports for the Trojans and graduated from Southwesten Central in 1999. He was an All-League football player, a Post-Journal basketball All-Star, and a sectional track qualifier.
From 1999 to 2003, he attended Mount Union College, where he was a first-team All-Conference receiver, following in the footsteps of his older brothers. Under the renowned coach Larry Kehres, he was a member of the Purple Raiders’ two NCAA Division III National Champions and one runner-up squad.
In 2005, he also played for the Canton Legends for a season in the Atlantic Indoor Football League.
Sirianni was a member of the 2005 National Championship team and was hired by Kehres to teach defensive backs at Mount Union from 2004 to 2005. He then turned into the
From 2006 to 2008, Division II Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s wide receivers coach was in charge.
In 2009, Nick was offered a position as the offensive control coach of the Kansas City Chiefs by newly appointed head coach Todd Haley after a fortuitous meeting at the Lakewood YMCA. The lone coach from the Haley administration to be promoted was Sirianni, who was appointed wide receivers coach by new coach Romeo Crennel after Haley was fired in 2011.
After being hired by head coach Mike McCoy in 2013, he went on to work for the San Diego Chargers, initially as an offensive quality control coach and later as the quarterbacks coach. In 2016, Anthony Lynn took McCoy’s place and assigned Nick to oversee the wide receivers.
Nick joined the Colts as offensive coordinator after Frank Reich, the offensive coordinator for the Chargers, was chosen as the head coach in Indianapolis in 2018.
In 2021, Sirianni was hired as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles by general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeff Lurie. Since taking over in Philadelphia, Nick has led his team to the playoffs every season and has a winning record. He guided the Birds to a 14-3 record, the Super Bowl LVII loss, and the National Football Conference Championship in the 2022 season.
In 2025, Sirianni guided the Eagles to yet another Super Bowl.
Nick resides in the Philadelphia suburbs with his family.
