Eagles’ Nick Sirianni Becomes Highest-Paid Coach in NFL History After Super Bowl Triumph

Philadelphia, PA – April 02, 2025, 05:15 PM PDT
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni has made NFL history, signing a record-breaking contract that makes him the highest-paid coach ever, sources confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday. The 43-year-old, who led the Eagles to a Super Bowl LIX victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in February, inked a 5-year, $125 million extension, averaging $25 million annually, surpassing Andy Reid’s previous record of $20 million per year with the Chiefs.

Sirianni’s meteoric rise comes after a stellar 2024 season, where the Eagles finished with an 18-3 record, tying the NFL record for most wins in a single year. His team’s 40-22 Super Bowl win, coupled with a league-leading defense (278.4 yards per game) and a record-breaking 145 playoff points, solidified his reputation as one of the NFL’s elite coaches. Since taking over in 2021, Sirianni has a 48-20 regular-season record, the third-highest winning percentage (.706) in the Super Bowl era, trailing only John Madden and Vince Lombardi among Super Bowl-winning coaches

The new deal, which extends Sirianni through 2029, marks a significant jump from his previous 5-year, $35 million contract, where he earned $7 million annually—one of the lowest among NFL head coaches. “Nick has proven he’s worth every penny,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said at the NFL owners’ meeting, per posts on X. “He’s an incredible leader who’s brought us a championship.” Fans on X celebrated the news, with one posting, “Sirianni deserves it—18 wins and a Super Bowl? Pay the man!” (@EaglesNation).

Sirianni’s extension reflects the NFL’s evolving salary structure, where top coaches now command player-like paydays. As the Eagles aim for another title in 2025, Sirianni’s historic contract sets a new benchmark for coaching compensation.
