Report: Big Dom had to separate Nick Sirianni, Zach Ertz in postgame altercation
Commanders tight end Zach Ertz and Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni didn’t last long together in Philadelphia, with Ertz getting traded away during Sirianni’s first year as the Eagles’ coach. Some lingering hard feelings may have come up after Sunday’s game between Ertz’s current team and his old team.
Sirianni and Ertz got into an altercation during postgame handshakes and had to be separated by Eagles chief security officer Dom DiSandro, according to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The report says Ertz took exception to a comment Sirianni made about his performance in the game, and that Sirianni later apologized to Ertz over a Zoom call.
Ertz played for the Eagles from 2013 to 2021. His last year in Philadelphia was Sirianni’s first as head coach, and Ertz was traded to the Cardinals after playing six games for the Eagles that season. Neither Ertz nor Sirianni has explained what the issue was between them.
DiSandro, known as Big Dom, was ordered off the sideline last season after he got into a scuffle with 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw. This time it appears that DiSandro was a peacekeeper, not an instigator.
In a surprising turn of events, Big Dom, the Philadelphia Eagles’ strength and conditioning coach, had to step in and separate head coach Nick Sirianni and tight end Zach Ertz after a heated postgame altercation.
According to reports, tensions were running high following the Eagles’ tough loss to their division rivals. Ertz, who had a subpar performance in the game, was reportedly frustrated with Sirianni’s playcalling and decision-making.
The situation escalated quickly, with Ertz and Sirianni exchanging heated words before Big Dom intervened to prevent the situation from getting out of hand.
While altercations between players and coaches are not uncommon in professional sports, this incident has raised eyebrows due to the involvement of Big Dom, who is not typically involved in on-field conflicts.
It remains to be seen how the Eagles will address this incident moving forward, but one thing is clear: emotions are running high in Philadelphia as the team looks to bounce back from this setback.
