Big Dom: Eagles' Unsung Security Chief Earns Massive Deal
5 May
Summary
- Dom DiSandro oversees all player, coach, and executive safety matters.
- He directs security at the training complex and for team travel.
- DiSandro is a Senior Advisor, Chief Security Officer, and Gameday Coaching Operations.
Dom DiSandro, a crucial figure with the Philadelphia Eagles for over 27 years, has received a significant contract extension. His tenure began in 1999, the same year as former coach Andy Reid's arrival, and he remains a vital link to Reid's legacy.
DiSandro, affectionately known as "Big Dom," holds multiple titles, including Senior Advisor to the General Manager, Chief Security Officer, and Gameday Coaching Operations. His responsibilities encompass player, coach, and executive safety, security at the team's training facility, and logistics for team travel.
His importance to the Eagles was underscored when the team covered his $100,000 fine after an on-field incident. DiSandro even became part of the coaching staff, wearing a headset alongside head coach Nick Sirianni. His continued presence is seen as integral to the Eagles' status as one of the NFL's best-run organizations.
DiSandro's long-standing relationship with the Eagles predates even current front office staple Howie Roseman. His retention reflects the enduring philosophy and operational standards established during Andy Reid's coaching era, which the Eagles continue to uphold.
