Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni is among three NFL head coaches fined $250,000 for their behavior toward referees.
The NFL has fined Philadelphia Eagles coach Nick Sirianni, New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel, and New York Jets coach Aaron Glenn $250,000 each for their conduct toward game officials. ESPN confirmed the penalties against Sirianni and Vrabel on Wednesday night, while Sports Illustrated first reported the fine issued to Glenn. These financial penalties are currently on hold and may be repealed if the coaches maintain good behavior moving forward.
League sources indicate the fines are intended to serve as a message regarding the treatment of referees, though the specific games or incidents that triggered the disciplinary actions were not immediately identified. Sirianni has a documented history of animated interactions with officiating crews, as well as occasional confrontations with opposing players and fans.
Philadelphia Eagles CEO Jeffrey Lurie previously addressed Sirianni's sideline demeanor in 2024, noting that while the coach's authenticity and passion are strengths, his tendency to overreact can risk infuriating officials. The league has not yet specified when these fines were officially handed down.
