Nick Sirianni held his end-of-the-year press conference on Wednesday where he discussed his role for 2024 and the Philadelphia Eagles' plans for the future.
During the presser, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported that the Miami Dolphins parted ways with Vic Fangio and that the Eagles are "expected" to make a deal with him for their open defensive coordinator role.
Naturally, a media member in the room used the moment to ask Sirianni about Schefter's latest report.
"We've got a lot of good targets that we're working through," Sirianni said in response to the Fangio report. "And there are a lot of guys that have done really well in our interview process and I look forward to continuing that process. We'll see what happens."
Sirianni is very good at masking what's really going on behind the scenes.
It's also worth noting that general manager Howie Roseman and Sirianni were 30 minutes late to their scheduled 2:30 p.m. ET press conference. Perhaps they were on a phone call with Fangio?
Reports surfaced earlier this week that said the Eagles have already interviewed former Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera and ex-Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell.
Fangio is the obvious better candidate for the job, having coached 10 top-ranked defensive units throughout his career.
It also helps that Fangio is already very familiar with the Eagles after he spent last season working with them as a consultant.
Let's hope the Eagles don't fumble the bag on this one.
