PHOENIX (AP) Nick Sirianni often credits Frank Reich for his development as a head coach. The mentor also learned from the student.Before leading the Philadelphia Eagles to the Super Bowl in just his second season as a head coach Terrell Suggs Jersey , Sirianni spent three years as the offensive coordinator for the Indianapolis Colts under Reich from 2018-20. They also worked together as a sistants for three years with the Chargers. While Reich focuses on evaluating his new team in Carolina, Sirianni is preparing the Eagles (16-3) for the Super Bowl against the Kansas City Chiefs (16-3) on Sunday.Reich hasnt been surprised by Siriannis quick rise.Hes got an incredible ability to connect with players and its just authentic, its genuine, Reich told the . Its easy for him because he cares. Hes just really good at that. Hes also an elite offensive mind. Hes a great game-planner. Hes got that coaching pedigree. We worked together for six years. It was a real highlight. I know hes always complimentary because Im like the older brother who mentored him, but trust me, this was a two-way street. We both benefited from it and Ive learned a lot from that.With the biggest game of his life approaching, Sirianni draws from the le sons he learned from his time working with Reich.Frank would always say this to me: No man suddenly becomes different than his cherished thoughts and habits. Meaning no one suddenly becomes different. You are who youve been the whole time, Sirianni said. This is a bigger game than this or this. Theyve all been big. I show a picture to the team every week of a mountain. Theres the top of the mountain, you can see it, but the guys vision is just on the steps right there (ahead). Your focus doesnt change because the situation or the Dalvin Cook Jersey game around you or the opponent changes. You still focus on one step at a time. The higher you climb on the mountain ... it gets windier, the conditions get tougher, it gets a little steeper, it gets a little harder to breathe. So now what an unbelievable time to just focus on the next step and dont look up.Siriannis succe s in Philadelphia is largely due to the development of quarterback Jalen Hurts, who was a finalist for AP NFL MVP and Offensive Player of the Year. Hurts took Sean Taylor Jersey a giant leap in his second season in Siriannis system.Reich didnt have the opportunity to coach the same starting QB two seasons in a row in Indianapolis after Andrew Luck abruptly retired in 2019. He went from Luck to Jacoby Bri sett to Philip Rivers to Carson Wentz to Matt Ryan. The Panthers used three starting quarterbacks while going 7-10 in 2022. Reich knows finding a franchise quarterback is a top priority. Hes working with general manager Scott Fitterer and owner David Tepper to identify the right one.Its a big deal, Reich said. Its just a question of having a plan and executing the plan. Looking forward to that proce s. Thatll be very enjoyable, studying the quarterbacks both West Virginia Mountaineers Jersey in college and free agents, everybody thats available. Every option is open. But the main thing, as weve talked about, its really looking for stability there. Thats really what you need for the consistency that we want to show.Reichs return to Carolina where he was the franchises first starting quarterback in 1995 allows him to expand kNot Today, a nonprofit that works to prevent child sexual abuse and exploitation. Reich and his wife, Linda, formed the organization a year after he became the head coach with the Colts. This is a ma sive problem, Reich said. Fifty million people are estimated to be victims of modern slavery, over 10 million of those are children. Human trafficking and slavery is a $150 billion industry, which should make us all sick. ... Our response is to join together as a team, and everybody do our part. For kNot Today Tim Delaney Jersey , were about really trying to do three things. We want to push legislation that will protect children. We want to really focus on prevention education. Thats a really big deal. Last year in the state of Indianapolis, we helped do prevention education for many students. And then we want to help support law enforcement.The Reichs are partnering with International Justice Mi sion to also help trafficking victims on an international level.Theyve been leaders in this industry for a long time and were trying to play our part, Reich said. But each one of us have a part, parents, coaches, we all have a part in the proce s. This is all hands on deck. Lets each play our part in protecting children from sexual abuse, exploitation and trafficking.___Follow Rob Maaddi on Twitter at robmaaddi___AP NFL: hub/nfl and AP_NFL in this topic
