Since his interview was conducted at Jeffrey Lurie's house in West Palm Beach, Sirianni spent Monday morning checking out the practice field and getting the lay of the land at the Novacare Complex as well as his office, which was previously occupied by Doug Pederson.
He has a lot to do right now. These first few days on the job are extremely busy: hiring a staff, talking to players and meeting his new co-workers.
Sirianni's coaching staff is coming together quickly. Sources confirm Sirianni is hiring Shane Steichen as offensive coordinator. They worked together with the Chargers before Sirianni became the Colts offensive coordinator.
