10 different ways to measure Nick Sirianni’s success as a head coach originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
As the Eagles prepare for a meaningless game against the Giants in advance of their playoff opener vs. either the Packers or Commanders, we thought this would be a good time to take a step back and assess the first four years of Nick Sirianni’s coaching career from a statistical standpoint.
Love him or hate him, the numbers are incredible.
The Eagles are 47-20 under Sirianni with four straight winning seasons, four straight playoff appearances and three straight seasons with at least 11 wins.
Let’s break it all down in 10 different ways:
1. Sirianni’s 47 wins are tied for 2nd-most in NFL history by a head coach in his first four years. George Seifert of the 49ers won 52 games his first four years from 1989 through 1992, going 14-2, 14-2, 10-6 and 14-2, with a Super Bowl championship his first year. Matt LaFleur with the Packers from 2019 through 2022 went 47-19 and Paul Brown with the Browns from 1946 through 1949 was 47-4-3 with four championships, but those Browns teams played in the old AAFC, whose stats – but not championships – were absorbed by the NFL.
2. Sirianni’s career winning percentage of .702 is 5th-highest in NFL history, behind four Hall of Fame coaches: Guy Chamberlin in the 1920s (.784), John Madden with the Raiders in the 1970s (.759), Vince Lombardi with the Packers (.738) and George Allen with the Rams and Washington in the 1960s and 1970s (.712). Interesting to note that Chamberlin coached the Canton (1922, 1923) and Cleveland (1924) Bulldogs to three straight NFL Championships before becoming head coach of the Frankford Yellow Jackets in 1925 and leading them to the 1926 NFL Championship. The Yellow Jackets played their home games at Frankford Stadium at the corner of Frankford Avenue and Devereaux Street, where there’s currently a Dollar Tree.
