Sirianni, 39, has held that position for the
last three seasons with the Colts following five seasons as an
assistant with the San Diego/Los Angeles Chargers (2013-17) and
four with the Kansas City Chiefs (2009-12).
Indianapolis went 11-5 during the 2020 regular season and lost
27-24 to the Buffalo Bills in the wild-card round. Sirianni's
offense ranked ninth in the NFL in scoring and 10th in total
offense (11th in passing and 11th in rushing).
The Eagles fired head coach Doug Pederson earlier this month
after a five-year run that included a 42-37-1 record and
Philadelphia's first Super Bowl championship.
The Eagles are looking for a coach who can help veteran
quarterback Carson Wentz bounce back from a dreadful season.
Sirianni was the Chargers' quarterbacks coach from 2014-15 and
the Chiefs' assistant QBs coach in 2010.
Other candidates linked to the Philadelphia vacancy include
Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive coordinator Todd Bowles, Carolina
Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady and New England
Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels.
