After interviewing a pretty extensive list of candidates, the Philadelphia Eagles made their decision and are hiring Indianapolis Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni as the team’s next head coach. The search reportedly had come down to Sirianni and Josh McDaniels and Frank Reich’s underling won the job.
Here are some instant reactions from the experts, media, and some of Sirianni’s new players in Philly:
From an NFL source familiar w/ Sirianni’s credentials as a HC:
“Good guy, solid candidate. Fairly smart but not super smart. Concern is he is likely to top out at a B-level coach for team that is in the mix to make the playoffs, but not a real SB chance.
