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 dramatic turn of events following the Philadelphia Eagles’ game against the Dallas Cowboys, Big Dom reportedly had to step in to separate head coach Nick Sirianni and tight end Zach Ertz after a heated postgame altercation.
According to sources close to the team, tensions boiled over between Sirianni and Ertz in the locker room following the Eagles’ loss to the Cowboys. The altercation was said to have stemmed from a disagreement over play-calling and strategy during the game.
Big Dom, a trusted member of the Eagles’ coaching staff known for his calming presence and ability to diffuse tense situations, quickly intervened to prevent the situation from escalating further. Witnesses say that Big Dom was able to calm both Sirianni and Ertz down and get them to talk through their differences in a more constructive manner.
While conflicts between players and coaches are not uncommon in the high-pressure world of professional sports, the Eagles will need to address any underlying issues and work towards a resolution to ensure that the team can remain focused and united moving forward.
