Watch: Giants' Julian Love doesn't credit Eagles' Nick Sirianni for Super Bowl trip

New York Giants safety Julian Love clearly isn't impressed by head coach Nick Sirianni guiding the Philadelphia Eagles to Super Bowl LVII.

During an appearance on the NFL Network "Good Morning Football" program, Love credited Philadelphia's roster and not Sirianni for the franchise being a win away from hoisting the Vince Lombardi Trophy.

"He’s a guy who really is doing a good job 'cause he’s not getting in the way of his team. He has an experienced roster from top to bottom, offense, defense," Love said about Sirianni, as shared by Jaclyn Hendricks of the New York Post.

Some may say Sirianni is blessed to have talents such as wide receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown, pass-rusher Haason Reddick, former Giants cornerback James Bradberry and others on his squad. However, the coach deserves at least a little credit for helping quarterback Jalen Hurts go from somebody who was nearly replaced by Deshaun Watson last offseason to a legitimate Most Valuable Player candidate. 

It's also worth noting that Love is in no place to say anything negative about the Eagles ahead of the Super Bowl. He essentially gifted Philadelphia a touchdown during the 48-22 blowout loss at home in Week 14 and then vowed before the playoff rematch that the Big Blue defense was "definitely going to test" Hurts' sprained throwing shoulder at Lincoln Financial Field. The Eagles thrashed the Giants 38-7 that Saturday night in a contest that could've been more lopsided had Hurts been 100 percent. 

Per Sam Neumann of The Comeback, NFL Network's Peter Schrager asked Love about Sirianni's reaction during the playoff win over New York that went viral: 

"I don’t like it at all," Love responded. "He’s in for a free ride right now. You guys could coach this team." 

Some may see such comments as a "shots fired" moment from Love, but the 24-year-old is set to hit free agency when the new league year opens in March. According to Ryan Dunleavy of the Post, Love insisted shortly after the defeat in Philadelphia last month he wants to remain with the Giants but also must "do the best thing for me." 

One wonders if Sirianni could give Love a call if the defensive back finds himself available come Saint Patrick's Day.
