theCHIVE Exclusive: Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni talks big game experience
Nick Sirianni is headed back to the big game for the second time in three years. His Philadelphia Eagles are one win away from capturing another Lombardi trophy, and we wanted to ask about his experience when it comes to important games.
His answer did not disappoint.
Zach: Coach, I just wanted to go back to your days at IUP – Indiana University of Pennsylvania, as the wide receivers coach and those Slippery Rock rivalry games. How do those games prepare you for something like this on the biggest stage?
Nick Sirianni: Someone’s asked me this before as far as when we started the playoffs. They asked me about the inexperience that we have in the big games. And my response to that was, “Well you tell Cooper DeJean that in the Iowa vs. Iowa State game that that’s not a big game, and every bit of the biggest moment of his life at that time.”
