Atlanta Falcons And The Philadelphia Eagles Have Reportedly Signed A $150 million Deal Pending on The Agent…READ MORE.

Dom DiSandro, affectionately known as ‘Big Dom’ within the Philadelphia Eagles organisation, has been handed a new role, although the team insists it changes nothing.

Currently serving as the senior advisor to the general manager and chief security officer, Big Dom now also holds responsibility for ‘gameday coaching operations’, though the specifics of this role remain unclear. Despite his official titles, Big Dom wields significant influence over head coach Nick Sirianni, often acting as a calming presence during high-stress moments.

However, an incident in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers saw Big Dom stripped of his sideline privileges for the rest of the 2023 season, a loss that seemed to impact the Eagles’ performance. The Eagles were on track for the No. 1 seed in the NFC last season with a 10-1 record before facing the Niners on December 3.

But a clash between Big Dom and Niners star Dre Greenlaw led to disciplinary action against the Eagles’ security chief, and the team’s fortunes took a turn for the worse. The Niners trounced the Eagles 42-19, shaking Philadelphia’s confidence.

They also lost against the Giants in Week 18 and were outplayed by the Arizona Cardinals, who ended the regular season with a mere four wins. Things took a turn for the worse for the Eagles as they were kicked out of the Wildcard Round of the playoffs, suffering a humbling 32-9 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, adding salt to the wounds of Jason Kelce’s career end.

But hope springs eternal for the new season, with rumours swirling around Big Dom’s tweaked role sparking speculation among fans about a strategic trick up the Eagles’ sleeve. Although his role might not affect the day-to-day routine, one theory floating around is that by appointing Big Dom ‘gameday coaching operations’, he could have more of a hands-on involvement at the touchline, potentially bending the rules given he’s not just seen as a security chief.
