After Nick Sirianni coached his team to victory last night, his son had a hilarious message for him.
On Sunday, Feb. 9, the Philadelphia Eagles head coach, 43, was surrounded by reporters on the field after his team was victorious at the Super Bowl. As he was being asked questions, Sirianni’s three kids — sons Jacob, 9, and Miles, 4, as well as daughter Taylor, 7 — and wife Brett Ashley Cantwell joined him on the field.
Sirianni, who had Gatorade dumped on him earlier in the night by two Eagles players, bent down to pick up his younger son Miles. Between tears, Sirianni hugged his son and hoisted him on his hip.
“You’re wet!” Miles hilariously exclaims as he touches his dad’s shoulder. “I’m wet,” Sirianni replies, laughing. “Say E-A-G-L-E-S Eagles!”

Sirianni and his wife’s kids have made multiple appearances alongside the head coach at different press conferences throughout the years. During one appearance in August 2022, Sirianni was asked if he could compare each of their personalities to players on the team.
In response, he said his youngest was like Miles Sanders, while Jacob was most like T.J. Edwards. As for Taylor, he paused, saying, “She’s got a lot of personality,” before agreeing with a reporter who suggested Darius Slay.
While Sirianni returned to the Super Bowl with the Philadelphia Eagles for a second time, he also has a connection to Kansas City. The NFL coach met his now wife while he was working for the Chiefs, which was his first job in the industry. He spoke about his connection with the city during a news conference in 2023.
“I met my wife there,” he said. “When you have something as significant as meeting your wife there in that city, that place, that time frame, that city is always going to carry a special place in my heart because of that.”
