unCovering the Birds with Jeff McLane

unCovering: A tamer Nick Sirianni?

Nick Sirianni survived the Eagles’ disastrous collapse last season - barely. At the heart of criticism surrounding the fourth-year head coach was a sideline temperament that, at times, crossed the line from passionate to problematic. Did he suffer from a lack of composure? Were his antics undermining how the team was treated by referees? Was his enthusiasm endearing to players, or perceived as childish? As the Eagles get set to start anew in 2024, The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane asks Sirianni whether he’s changed, and talks to other members of the organization about what they've noticed.

Plus, ahead of the Eagles’ historic regular season opener in São Paulo, Jeff talks with Jake Stoutland, son of the team’s longtime offensive line coach, and his wife, Nathalia, about how football and Brazil are intertwined in their lives.
