Daily News | Doc Rivers admires Nick Sirianni’s ‘spirit,’ and has one last message for his texting buddy before Super Bowl
Doc Rivers shot Nick Sirianni a text message about three hours before the NFC championship game, not expecting to receive a response until after its conclusion.
“I just like that he is himself,” Rivers said of Sirianni. “And he’s free enough to allow himself to be himself, instead of putting himself in a [box]. He’s different in a lot of good ways. … You can tell that his team feels that and they buy into that.‘Gotta win Super Bowls’: On Andy Reid, Nick Sirianni, and Jeffrey Lurie’s ability to look into the hearts of Eagles coaches
Rivers said he first reached out to Sirianni sometime last season, sharing he watched the Eagles’ coach’s press conferences and liked his motivational style. Sirianni’sgrowing under the surface as long as players continued to metaphorically provide water and fertilizer — which some outsiders criticized as corny at the time — reminded Rivers of his 2008 Celtics’ “Ubuntu” mantra.
