When Head Coach Nick Sirianni roams the sideline this Sunday in Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans, there will be a three-word phrase at the top of his game management sheet.

"Trust your preparation."

Sirianni's methods have worked.

He's just the third head coach to reach multiple Super Bowls within the first four career seasons. He's the only head coach in franchise history to capture multiple NFC Championships. Sirianni has reached the playoffs in all four years in Philadelphia, owning the third-best regular-season winning percentage (.706, 48-20) of any head coach in the Super Bowl era (minimum 50 games).

Sirianni has the Eagles on the verge of a second Lombardi Trophy because he's drilled down on his core values of connection, competition, accountability, football IQ, and fundamentals.

He's 100 percent himself, but he's also smart enough to know when to evolve.

"If you want your guys to get better, you have to get better yourself," Sirianni said. "You have to do what you think is best and you got to lead the way you know how and you got to get better as you lead and not really concern yourself with outside noise or outside criticism that comes with the job."

Much has been made of the team's turnaround since the early Week 5 bye. The Eagles were 2-2 at that point, coming off a tough road loss at Tampa Bay. Since then, the Eagles have won 15 of 16 games, including at one point an Eagles-record 10 in a row. The only blemish in that span, a last-second defeat in Washington, was avenged by scoring a conference-championship record 55 points in the rubber match between the division rivals.

Sirianni described the bye week as "business as usual." It was a time to reflect and gather information and make the best decisions to get the team in the right direction.

"We didn't have any panic. We just tried to figure out the things that we were doing well and the things that we weren't doing well and try to get going on that road. We used that week to improve and we improved," Sirianni said.

If Sirianni wanted to see more physicality from his players, he made sure to show examples of what he was looking for in team meetings with different cut-ups. If Sirianni wanted to see the defense take away the ball more, he had the coaches teach drills that would apply to real, in-game scenarios.

This Eagles team is a reflection of Sirianni. And it's a team that is one win from a Super Bowl.

"The job that you have as the head coach is to get everyone aligned on what the vision is to win that particular week," Executive Vice President/General Manager Howie Roseman said. "Offense, defense, special teams, bring the team together and deal with crisis. And work together with everyone to really kind of build a team on and off the field. And I think all those things are strengths of his and you got to see that this year."

The Eagles reached this stage two seasons ago against the same Kansas City Chiefs team. It's not any sweeter for Sirianni, the chance for revenge. For him, it's the next team on the schedule and it just happens to be in the final game of the 2024 season. The goal for Sirianni now is for his team to focus on the task at hand each day and night, so that when kickoff happens next Sunday at the Caesars Superdown, he can indeed follow the message on top of his game management sheet.
