Head Coach Nick is fortunate to be part of a family of five, including his wife and three children. He also grew up in a family of five with his parents and two brothers who were avid Pittsburgh Steelers fans.
He recalls glimpses of his childhood when he was a huge Steelers fan due to the influence of his parents. His father, Fran, also worked as a professional head coach on the Southwestern Central High School football team. This is the same school that Sirani and her brothers graduated from. Like his father, Jay, their brother, also served as the head coach at Southwestern Central High School.
On the other hand, Mike Sirianni, his other brother, is the head coach of Washington & Jefferson College in Washington, Pennsylvania. He has held the position since 2003 and continues to go strong, putting on a fantastic show every year. In his eleven seasons as head coach, he amassed a 101-24 record. He was named PAC Coach of the Year five times in his first 11 years at Washington & Jefferson.
Growing up, he had all the facilities to become a famous football player and even started his career as a player. Sirianni competed in the Division III Mount Union wide receiver program in Alliance, Ohio. As a sophomore, an injury and compartment syndrome nearly ended his playing days.
However, he did not give up playing and expected his health to establish a healthy image of a player in front of his father. As a result, the NFL head coach finished his senior year with 13 touchdowns and 998 yards. He also played one season of American Indoor Football League competition for the Canton Legends before concluding his playing career in 2005.
However, he couldn’t walk away from the game and immediately launched his coaching career, following in the footsteps of his father and brother.
He is close to his family, but due to their team’s preference, the family becomes entangled in arguments that are only temporary. He never fails to spend quality time with his family whenever he has the time.
