Eagles' Saquon Barkley thinks Nick Sirianni deserves more respect

When it comes to the success that the Philadelphia Eagles have enjoyed over the past half-decade, star running back Saquon Barkley thinks that head coach Nick Sirianni doesn't get enough credit or respect. 

Sirianni has led the Eagles the the playoffs in all five of his seasons on the sideline in Philadelphia, including two Super Bowl appearances and a victory in Super Bowl 59.

However, he's still often excluded from "best coach" conversations and things of that nature, and that doesn't sit right with Barkley. 

"He doesn't get enough credit at all, in my opinion. I don't get why he doesn't. Like, what he's doing, in real time, is legendary. If we're being honest, no one talks about it enough," Barkley said of Sirianni. 

"Like, we love to talk about me rushing for 2,000 yards, we love to talk about Jalen (Hurts), we love to talk about the Eagles. But he's like the last one to get brought up, and it doesn't really make sense."
