PHILADELPHIA The Eagles are hiring Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni to be their next head coach, multiple outlets reported Thursday.
Sirianni, 39, fits a similar mold to that of owner Jeffrey Lurie’s most successful hires, Andy Reid and Doug Pederson, as a less prominent name with an offense background whose top job will be working with the quarterbacks to help steer the direction of the team.
According to John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia, the Eagles are interested in Ryan Day of Ohio State for their head coach position. He would replace Doug Pederson, who was fired earlier this week.
Reuben Frank says that this is a long shot, but who knows? As an Eagles fan I would love this move. We would get a good coach and take a bat to Ohio State's knees.
