Philly fans launched into chants of ‘Fire Nick’Coach received backlash for actions on Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni apologized on Monday for gesturing and jawing at the home crowd in the final moments of a win during which restless fans booed a listless performance and “Fire Nick!” chants broke out at Lincoln Financial Field.
Sirianni – a habitual trash-talker – put a finger to his right ear and chirped at fans in the front rows at the Linc on Sunday. Later, flanked by his three young children, Sirianni defended his actions, saying he was simply “excited” to get a victory. The fourth-year coach added the Eagles “don’t necessarily like it” when fans boo at home games.
