NFL Week 5 Coaching Decisions: Eagles’ Nick Sirianni Embracing Heated Moments

Eagles coach Nick Sirianni has a tough job managing various personalities, especially those of star players who expect perfection. But credit to Sirianni for allowing his players to express themselves and listening to their concerns, even in heated moments during games.

Some coaches would be quick to send a player to the locker room for the type of outburst center Jason Kelce had on the sideline last week against the Rams. Wide receiver A.J. Brown had one a few weeks earlier, appearing frustrated with Jalen Hurts for not getting him the ball against the Vikings.

Other coaches wouldn’t dare remove their star players from games when emotions get the best of them, but they certainly don’t like to see heated exchanges develop publicly. Sirianni, however, seems to embrace those problem-solving situations with high emotions. He knows when to step in and when to let his players figure it out.
