Dom DiSandro is no longer just the Philadelphia Eagles’ chief of security and adviser to the general manager.
DiSandro is well-known among NFL fans thanks to his sideline altercation with San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw last season.
As noted by ESPN’s Adam Schefter, DiSandro’s job description was updated to include a new title on Thursday, as the team directory now lists him under gameday coaching operations.
Big Dom, as he’s known, has been the team’s head of security and GM Howie Roseman’s senior advisor since 2011.
“DiSandro, already senior advisor to the general manager and chief security officer, now has responsibilities that involve him overseeing Nick Sirianni’s coaches on game days,” the Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reported.
“The change in DiSandro’s title and game day duties was likely meant to prevent the league from being able to discipline him should there be another episode on the sideline with his involvement.”

Dom DiSandro’s Punishment Was Felt By The Entire Eagles Team
The NFL suspended Dom DiSandro for the remainder of the season following his altercation with Greenlaw on December 3.
The Eagles were hardly the same team without him around, and, according to reporter Derrick Gunn, his absence really hurt Philly because he helped keep head coach Nick Sirianni in line while on the sideline.
“Big Dom suspended-controls Sirianni emotions on sideline, in his absence Nick gets in numerous arguments with players/coaches during games,” Gunn shared via X/Twitter.
The Eagles lost five of their last six regular-season fixtures after their 10-1 start and were beaten by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round of the playoffs.
NFL Fans Are In Stitches Over Bombshell Report Claiming Big Dom Had To “Babysit” Eagles HC Nick Sirianni During Games
NFL fans are making all sorts of hilarious jokes following a peculiar report regarding Philadelphia Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni and Dom “Big Dom” DiSandro.
The Eagles endured a miserable late-season collapse, losing five of their final six regular season games after a promising 10-1 start. Their season ended with a humiliating blowout loss to the underdog Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the Wild Card Round.
Big Dom, the Eagles’ chief security officer, made headlines during the club’s Week 13 blowout loss vs. the San Francisco 49ers when he engaged in a confrontation with Dre Greenlaw. The league subsequently banned Big Dom from the Eagles’ sideline for the remainder of the regular season.
On Wednesday afternoon, Derrick Gunn of JAKIB Sports reported that Big Dom’s absence affected Sirianni down the stretch since the former was unable to help the Philly head coach control his emotions:
And Gunn’s rather interesting report led to plenty of hilarious reactions from fans on X/Twitter…

If Gunn’s report is true, then it certainly goes to show just how valuable Big Dom is as moral support for the Eagles. Still, it wouldn’t be a great look on Sirianni if he truly relies that much on another team employee to help him retain control.
At any rate, the Eagles are giving Sirianni at least another year to guide them to the Lombardi Trophy. Sirianni has replaced his two coordinators, OC Brian Johnson and DC Sean Desai, with Kellen Moore and Vic Fangio, respectively.
