Nick Sirianni was Frank Reich's offensive coordinator with the Indianapolis Colts for three seasons, and that was a springboard to him getting the Philadelphia Eagles' head-coaching job.
Sirianni was fired up to beat the Colts, and not just to push his Eagles to 9-1 this season.
Reich was fired two weeks ago by the Colts, and after the Eagles had a dramatic comeback win over Indianapolis, Sirianni let it be known that he wanted to make the Colts pay for firing his mentor.
That emotion was probably a reason a fired-up Sirianni, right after the win was clinched, felt the need to go near the benches and yell something into the crowd. You won't see a coach do this too often.
Sirianni seemed to be on the verge of tears in his media conference after the game.
Coaches can sometimes make it personal when they face a team who fired them before. You don't often see coaches get that emotional about beating a team that fired a friend. Sirianni is an emotional coach, and he didn't hold back his feelings about the win over Indianapolis.
