Dom DiSandro

Domenico DiSandro (born ), nicknamed "Big Dom", is an American football employee who is the senior advisor to the general manager, director of gameday coaching operations and chief security officer for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL).

Early life DiSandro is a second-generation Italian American with roots in Molise and was born in South Philadelphia in 1978 or 1979. He has assisted the Eagles front office, including general manager Howie Roseman, with investigative work in scouting potential additions to the team. He has been described as a "central figure" and players have called him "family"; Jason Kelce gave him the nickname of "Papa Bear".

DiSandro released merchandise during the 2023 NFL season to support the Eagles Autism Foundation. In a game during Week 13 of the 2023 season against the San Francisco 49ers, he was involved in a scuffle with 49ers player Dre Greenlaw that resulted in both being ejected from the game; DiSandro received a standing ovation from fans. Walt Anderson, the NFL senior vice president of officiating, stated that DiSandro's disqualification from the game was warranted as he "was contributing to that escalation." Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni apologized to 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan for the incident after the game. Although he and Greenlaw exchanged apologies through intermediaries afterwards, the NFL decided to ban DiSandro from the sidelines for the subsequent game against the Dallas Cowboys, and then for the rest of the regular season. He also received a $100,000 fine; the team's appeal of the sanctions was denied.

On June 9, 2024, the Eagles added the title of Director of Gameday Coaching Operations to DiSandro's role. During the 2025 season, he faced a $75,000 fine for using his phone inside the bench area during a preseason game against the Jets on August 22nd.

He has been a part of two Super Bowl winning teams for the Eagles in the 2017 and 2024 seasons. DiSandro gave brief remarks at the Super Bowl parade for the 2024 team. DiSandro also spoke at the Eagles visit to the White House in 2025.

On May 4, 2026, the Eagles announced that they had reached an agreement with DiSandro on an undisclosed contract extension.
