The Philadelphia Eagles have found their choice of a head coach. It will be Nick Sirianni, offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts, according to multiple reports.
Sirianni has spent time with Indy, the Kansas City Chiefs, and Chargers. In Indianapolis, he worked under Frank Reich, who was an Eagles assistant coach from 2016-17.
Eagles are hiring Colts' OC Nick Sirianni as their head coach, sources tell ESPN. Sirianni spent three seasons as a Chiefs' assistant coach, five seasons with the Chargers, and the past three with the Colts. Now the 39-year-old Sirianni becomes the lead man in Philadelphia.

This brings up the question of why Chiefs’ OC Eric Bienemy has not landed a job.
Nick Sirianni’s hiring by the #Eagles is going to be a significant marker in the conversation about #Chiefs OC Eric Bieniemy not landing jobs. For the “Bieniemy isn’t really calling the KC offense” crowd: Frank Reich was the primary playcaller for the #Colts. Sirianni was not.
