Nick Sirianni fined $250k by NFL for conduct toward officials, per report
The fine is reportedly on hold and can be repealed without further incidents between Sirianni and officials.
Eagles coach Nick Sirianni was fined $250,000 by the NFL for conduct toward game officials, per a report by Sports Illustrated.
Sirianni was one of three coaches fined, according to the report, joining Mike Vrabel of the Patriots and Aaron Glenn of the Jets. The report also said the fines “are in abeyance,” or on hold, and could be lifted with good behavior by the coaches in question.
It is unclear what specific interactions led to the fine. Sirianni is currently in the midst of the first four-game losing streak of his six-year career with the Eagles.
NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent addressed the topic of sportsmanship in media availability from NFL owners meetings Wednesday, as well as the suspension earlier this season of two game officials.
“We’ve got to hold the line in that area,” Vincent, a former Eagles defensive back, reportedly said of sportsmanship issues.
Line judge Jeff Seeman was suspended two games after an interaction with Cardinals tight end Trey McBride that was captured by TV cameras in a game against the Giants.
Referee Adrian Hill was suspended one game for an interaction with Vikings linebacker Eric Wilson in a game against the Dolphins.
