Nick Sirianni isn't afraid to show his emotions. After the Philadelphia Eagles narrowly took down the Cleveland Browns in Week 6, Sirianni was caught cupping his ear and screaming at the fans, which was his way of asking them why they weren't booing the team anymore now that they had won.

The boo birds were out at the end of the second half when Jake Elliott's field goal attempt was blocked and returned the other way, knotting the game at 10 all. While Eagles fans aren't shy about booing, the team also wasn't playing well against a lousy team so the boos felt justified.

Following the win, Sirianni was asked about the exchange with the fans. His response didn't seem to clear much up, noting that he was excited about the win and that "It's hard to win in this league."

Nick Sirianni explains why he got into it with fans following the win

Truthfully, it's not surprising for Sirianni to give a non-answer here. He's an animated guy, screaming at Chiefs fans following a big win last year in a moment that went viral and didn't age well when the Eagles went just 2-6 down the stretch while KC won another Super Bowl.

It's nice to see passionate head coaches but Sirianni takes it a bit far sometimes. Screaming at your own fans isn't going to win you many friends, that's for sure.

Perhaps Sirianni should consider why the fans might be booing. The team went from trying to take a 10-point lead to then the game being tied at the half. Considering how bad the Browns appear to be this season, the Eagles should have been leading by more and should have ultimately won the game by more than four points.

The team has been disappointing so far but hey, a win is a win. Sirianni's emotions always come out and he's clearly not going to change.
