In a surprising upset, the Philadelphia Eagles fell to the Los Angeles Rams in the divisional round, with concerns raised about offensive coordinator Kellen Moore’s distractions from multiple virtual head-coaching interviews. Despite the narrative suggesting that coaching interviews detract from game preparation, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni defended the practice as a normal aspect of professional football, emphasizing that successful organizations manage to balance both responsibilities effectively.

Sirianni pointed out that preparing for interviews is a long-term process rather than a last-minute scramble, and he aims to guide his coaching staff through the demands of the postseason. He asserts that the notion of coaches being unable to focus due to interview pressures is misguided, as the preparation for such opportunities is embedded in their career journeys.
