Chris Stapleton’s widely praised performance of the national anthem before Super Bowl 2023 brought Eagles coach Nick Sirianni to tears.
Sirianni, 41, went to Southwestern Central High School in Jamestown, N.Y. He led the Eagles to the Super Bowl in just his second season as the team’s head coach. He was previously the Colts’ offensive coordinator for three years. He spent five years as an assistant with the Chargers following a four-year stint as an assistant with the Chiefs.
In the lead-up to the Super Bowl, the Eagles coach mentioned his admiration for Whitney Houston’s rendition of the national anthem before Super Bowl XXV. “The moment that I remember most as a kid growing up in Jamestown, N.Y., was I really remember the Whitney Houston one where she sang at the Bills vs. the Giants and how powerful it was and you get the goosebumps thinking about it getting ready to play that game,” Sirianni said. “You think about being in that moment of the Super Bowl, of listening to the national anthem and how much that’s going to mean.
