It’s been a common practice for the Sirianni family anytime a big decision is required. It’s execution is pretty simple. As I learned years ago from Fran and Amy — parents of Mike, Jay and Nick — it goes something like this:

Draw a line down the middle of a piece of paper.

On one side of that line, label it “pros.”

On the other side, label it “cons.”

And then?

“Sometimes,” Amy told The Post-Journal during an interview in August 2006, “you have to completely trust, because the Lord knows.”

Fast-forward nearly 19 years.

I’m certainly not privy to Philadelphia’s decision-making processes, but its signing of Nick — the Eagles’ Super Bowl-winning head coach — to what has been reported as a multi-year contract extension likely didn’t have many “cons” on Jeffrey Lurie’s figurative legal pad.

“As an organization, we have always strived to create a championship culture of sustained success,” the Eagles chairman and CEO said in a statement Monday. “Nothing is more important to fostering such an environment than having tremendous leadership.

“Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago. His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team. I am excited for what the future holds for the Philadelphia Eagles.”

Lurie has reason to be excited, because Nick, a 1999 Southwestern High School graduate, has placed himself among the best head coaches in the NFL. The resume the 43-year-old has compiled since arriving in Philly in 2021 is off the charts.

Consider these nuggets from the Eagles team website:

≤ Nick’s 48-20 regular-season record in four seasons, 54-23, including playoffs, gives him the second-most wins in NFL history for a coach in his first four seasons (George Seifert, San Francisco).

≤ Nick has the third-highest winning percentage (.706) of the Super Bowl era in the regular season behind Hall of Famers John Madden and George Allen (minimum 50 games).

≤ Nick is the first coach in NFL history to earn four playoff appearances, two conference titles, and a Super Bowl within his first four seasons as head coach.

≤ Nick is the third head coach to advance to multiple Super Bowls and win one within his first four seasons.

≤ Nick is the first head coach in Eagles history with multiple Super Bowl appearances and the Eagles have the third-best winning percentage since Sirianni became head coach in 2021.

≤ Offensively, the Eagles are third in points per game (26.7), second in rushing offense (153.9 yards per game), third in third-down percentage (45.3 percent), fourth in red zone efficiency (61.7 percent) and sixth in total offense (367.6 yards per game) since Nick’s arrival.

≤ The Eagles have ranked in the top eight in both points and yards offensively in each of the past three seasons.

≤ Defensively, the Eagles are fourth in both total defense (316.2 yards per game) and sacks (183) since 2021. In terms of yards, the Eagles have had a top-10 unit in three of Nick’s four seasons, including the league’s top-ranked unit in 2024 for the first time since 1991.

≤ In 2024, the Eagles finished 18-3 on their way to a second Super Bowl title in franchise history, winning a team-record 10 straight games and scoring an NFL record 145 points in the playoffs. Nick became the fourth coach in NFL history to win 18 games in a season.

≤ Also in 2024, the Eagles set a league record with 3,866 rushing yards in the regular season and playoffs, led by running back Saquon Barkley’s record-setting 2,504 on the way to The Associated Press NFL Offensive Player of the Year honors and being named a finalist for the NFL MVP Award. Philadelphia became the second team in history to feature the NFL’s rushing champion and the league’s top-ranked defense.

≤ Nick has maintained a winner even with three of his assistants being hired as head coaches (Shane Steichen, who went to Indianapolis; Jonathan Gannon, who is Arizona’s head coach; and Kellen Moore, now the head coach in New Orleans). The 2025 season will mark his fourth straight season with a different offensive coordinator.

It’s rather ironic that Nick has accomplished all that when there was plenty of chatter about his job security after a tough finish to the 2023 season and a 2-2 start to the 2024 campaign. As he has always done during his career, however, Nick rose to the occasion.

Now he is being mentioned with the all-time greats.

Am I surprised?

Not at all.
