If Nick Sirianni Buzzed his Head, You Know What That Means
Published:
Nick Sirianni showed up to Monday’s press conference wearing a hat and exhibiting a lack of sleep, but the sideburns look trimmed up here, and it’s possible that he may have busted out the Skull Shaver to buzz the dome:
Am I crazy… or is that a shaved head under there? 👀

Sirianni going with the shaved head was the catalyst for winning the Super Bowl last season. It was October 13th, the Cleveland Browns game coming out of the bye. The Eagles were 2-2 and there was some grumbling about Sirianni’s job after a 33 to 16 loss in Tampa. This was following the 2023 collapse and the fans were on edge because the 2022 Super Bowl appearance felt like a lifetime at that point.
A shorn Sirianni eeked out a 20-16 win over the Browns, had a confrontration with some fans, then brought his kids to the post game press conference, which was decried as amateur hour by some of the scribes, who referred to the youngsters as “human shields.” Then the Birds ripped off nine more wins in a row, lost a fluky game to Washington without Jalen Hurts, and finished with a six-game win streak to lift the Lombardi Trophy for the second time in franchise history.
We’ll need some confirmation that Sirianni’s head is shaved. Perhaps we can get a source inside of NovaCare. But if the head is buzzed, you know what’s coming.
