Overview
- Sirianni told The Athletic that he began using ChatGPT in the offseason to generate motivational stories and to help recall the Eagles' achievements.
- He said the chatbot led him to the story of one‑legged wrestler Anthony Robles as an example he planned to use to motivate players.
- Mainstream sports outlets picked up the interview and repeated the detail about Robles, with at least one verifiable discrepancy in the year of Robles' championship appearing in coverage.
- The move is presented as a tool to keep messages from feeling stale for long‑tenured veterans and to adapt how Sirianni reaches players, not as a replacement for coaching work.
- The episode has sparked debate over AI's place in coaching as Eagles fans watch a coach with recent success but ongoing job pressure going into the new season.
