1. Okay Philadelphia Eagles fans, don’t pretend to know who this guy is.

Don’t question your NFL fandom if you had to cheat and Google this guy to get some info. He wasn’t on anyone’s radar. There aren’t many people outside Indy who recognized the name.

Frank Reich calls the plays for the Colts offense, but hey, at least we know this guy should be innovative and will run the ball.

2. Here’s some background if you’re a Philadelphia Eagles fan that is lost.

Sirriani’s path to the City of Brotherly Love began in 2004 when he was a defensive backs coach at Mount Union. He landed in the NFL with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009. He spent time in San Diego and Los Angeles with the Chargers serving as everything from an offensive quality control coach and both a wide receivers and quarterbacks coach before taking over as the Colts OC in 2018, where he’s been ever since.

He’s young but seasoned. We’ll have to wait and see if he can win over a locker room that clearly loyal to someone else that they wanted to lead them.
