The NFL fined Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni $250,000 for conduct toward game officials. Sports Illustrated first reported the fine and noted that New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel and New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn also received the same amount for similar conduct. The fines are temporarily on hold and can be repealed with good behavior as the league emphasizes proper treatment of officials.
Sirianni has a history of animated interactions with referees, including confrontations with fans and opposing players. Team CEO Jeffrey Lurie noted in 2024 that Sirianni's fiery demeanor is authentic but can be negative if it infuriates referees. Lurie values his passion but worries about fair treatment.
