Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has come under fire on multiple occasions this season for his passionate–and sometimes heated–moments on the sidelines. Whether simply celebrating or delivering an impassioned message to the officials and/or opposing team, the second-year head coach hasn’t exactly endeared himself to everyone that’s witnessed his in-game actions this year.
Speaking ahead of his first appearance in the Super Bowl this weekend, Sirianni made clear that he won’t apologize for his emotional reactions, explaining that they occur because of his passion and love for the game.
“I don’t apologize for having fun,” Sirianni said, via the Washington Post. “This is too hard not to have fun, and I do this because I love it. I chose this profession because I love it. It is a little bit blown out of proportion with all of those things. I loved playing football, and I love coaching it. I’m not going to hide my emotions at any point.”
