Eagles Hire Colts' Nick Sirianni as Head Coach

And then there was one.

The Eagles on Thursday hired Colts offensive coordinator Nick Sirianni to replace Doug Pederson as Philadelphia's head coach, according to ESPN.

Eagles are hiring Colts' OC Nick Sirianni as their head coach, sources tell ESPN. Sirianni spent three seasons as a Chiefs' assistant coach, five seasons with the Chargers, and the past three with the Colts. Now the 39-year-old Sirianni becomes the lead man in Philadelphia.

Sirianni, who didn't call plays in Indianapolis, will have a tough task ahead of him as the Eagles are projected to be more than $50 million over the salary cap. Not to mention, a disgruntled quarterback in Carson Wentz.

With the Eagles landing their coach, the Texans are the only team without a head coach.
