Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni didn’t hide his emotions during the national anthem at the 2023 Super Bowl between the Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday.
Sirianni, who led the Eagles to the franchise’s fourth appearance in the big game, shed tears as singer-songwriter Chris Stapleton performed the national anthem.

From his introductory press conference, to the flower analogy, to the celebrations on the sideline, Sirianni is always just himself and shows his emotions.
It’s why he is in the Super Bowl
