Nick Sirianni has quickly become one of the most talked-about head coaches in the NFL. His stint with the Philadelphia Eagles has had highs and lows, but he has Philly in position to contend for the Lombardi Trophy this season. Let’s examine Sirianni’s contract, salary, and net worth.
Nick Sirianni’s Eagles Deal and Net Worth
Sirianni’s journey to becoming the head coach of the Eagles began with humble roots. During his playing days, he was a wide receiver at Division III Mount Union, where he won three national championships from 2001 to 2003.
He has a degree in education and transitioned to coaching in 2004 as the defensive backs coach at Mount Union. Fast-forward two decades to 2021, and Sirianni signed a five-year, $35 million contract with the Eagles.
He’s currently the 11th-highest-paid coach in the NFL, earning approximately $7 million annually. Sirianni’s net worth is estimated to be around $10 million.
Sirianni has a rich coaching background, having served under seven head coaches, including Todd Haley, Romeo Crennel, Mike McCoy, Anthony Lynn, and Frank Reich.
His coaching tree is already bearing fruit as two of his former assistants, Jonathan Gannon (Arizona Cardinals) and Shane Steichen (Indianapolis Colts), are currently NFL head coaches.
Rams vs. Eagles Game Preview
- Location: Lincoln Financial Field, Philadelphia
- Time: 3 PM ET

The winner of this game will play the winner of the other NFC Divisional round game between the Detroit Lions and Washington Commanders. Whichever team holds the better regular season record will play host to the Conference Championship.
The Eagles started September off with some hiccups, going into their week 5 bye with a 2-2 record. However, they reeled off a 10-game winning streak on the other end, securing the NFC East division title with weeks to spare.
Since 2000, the average Super Bowl participant allowed a first down on 37.4% of third downs and a touchdown on 52.3% of red-zone trips during the regular season. The Eagles and Lions are the only two remaining NFC teams meeting both these benchmarks.
Philadelphia’s defense has been a consistent strength this season, with an average Defense+ grade of 79.9. The Eagles are an undefeated 14-0 when their Defense+ grade reaches 75 or higher, including an 81.8 mark in last week’s win over the Packers.
The Eagles’ running game has also taken a significant leap forward this year, led by Saquon Barkley. Philadelphia’s running backs are averaging 17.5% more yards per carry after first contact, compared to last season.
The Rams have played four games against playoff teams since their Week 6 bye — they’ve scored an average of 30.3 points in those games.
But on the darker side, the Rams had a -1.12 average point differential during the regular season. In the 21st century, the 2011 Giants are the only team to advance to championship weekend after posting a negative point differential during the regular season.
However, a close game won’t scare the Rams. They had 15 games this season decided by 10 or fewer points, the most in the league. This holds the same for the Eagles, who hold a 7-1 record in clutch games in 2024.
Based on 10,000 simulations run by the PFN Playoff Predictor, the Eagles have a 63.2% win probability heading into the game.
