Nick Sirianni is an energetic guy.
What do you think he drinks every day? Four cups of coffee? Red Bull? Five hour energy?
Nothing, according to Howie Roseman, who said this today on the WIP morning show:
“It’s kind of funny, because everyone thinks he drinks a lot of coffee. He actually doesn’t even drink caffeine. This is just him, naturally.”
I call bullshit. There is no way anybody has that kind of energy without some kind of outside influence. Unless this guy is naturally producing an abnormally high amount of vitamin B6, like a mutant, there’s no way he stays this alert and energetic throughout the day. Tell us your secret, coach.
Anyway, we sidebar’d the Tom Donahoe story earlier, and here are some other notes and quotes that we found interesting:
He also called the idea of going off separate draft boards and ignoring his staff “ridiculous” –
“Every single person on our staff has their own draft board. That’s how we write up reports. Everyone in the system – Nick has his own draft board, Andy Weidl, Tom Donahoe, I have my own draft board. That’s how we rank players. That’s how our system is set up to do that. We have an Eagles draft board that reflects a lot of things. My job is to bring them all together, to get the coaches’ perspective, to get the scouts’ perspective, the medical perspective, character, as we do this process. My job is to reflect all of that. I listen to everyone to try to make these decisions. At the same time, somebody may be unhappy because it may not be reflected accurately in all of the information that I have that they may not have. I think that’s the job of everyone in my position around the league…. This isn’t unique to the Philadelphia Eagles.”
More notes:
Roseman laughed off the idea that Sirianni is just a puppet for himself and Lurie:
“That’s (ridiculous), this guy has been waiting for the opportunity his whole life. You think he’s just gonna do whatever (somebody tells him?) We want his perspective and his opinion. We respect him, that’s why he’s the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles. This is a guy who is ready for the opportunity and we want to reflect what he’s looking for in his vision. We work together to do that and I couldn’t be more excited for our players to get on the field.”
Good interview. Need Angelo to permanently shut off the fake outrage shtick and just be a full-time interviewer instead.
