About Dom DiSandro
Dom DiSandro is the Eagles' head of security, and somehow that job description undersells him by about a thousand percent. Big Dom stands on the sideline every game looking like the final boss you'd have to defeat to enter the Eagles' locker room. He's not a coach. He's not a player. He is, by job title, a security coordinator. But in Philadelphia, he is a folk hero with a cult following that most backup quarterbacks would envy. Players hug him after touchdowns. Fans chant his name. He once got ejected from a game for being too aggressively on the sideline, and the reaction from Eagles Nation was as if the league had personally insulted every person in the Delaware Valley. The ejection became a rallying point. "Free Big Dom" trended. Grown adults made t-shirts. This is a man whose actual job is to make sure people stay in the right areas, and he has become one of the most beloved figures in franchise history.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why is the Eagles' head of security famous?
Because Dom DiSandro doesn't look or act like a corporate security coordinator. He stands on the sideline in all black, arms crossed, looking like he's personally daring the opposing team to start something. Players treat him like a teammate. He's in the huddle after big plays. He's in the locker room celebrations. And when the NFL ejected him from a game, Philadelphia took it as a personal attack on the culture of the entire organization. Most teams' security chiefs are invisible. Big Dom is on highlight reels.
