Till now, the controversy has been going on at the fan level and no official news has been made on it. But the Eagles head coach Nick Sirriani changed the narrative by choosing his side of the debate. As per Sirriani, the term ‘Tush Push’ should be scrapped and it should be referred to as ‘Brotherly Shove’. Sirriani said, “Tush-Push is out, and Brotherly Love is in.” 

Along with this, Sirianni shared a post from the Eagles’ Reddit page, the post that originated the debate of renaming the QB move. “The Eagles QB sneak is so unstoppable that the larger NFL community has tried to ban it. It deserves a nickname that will live on in infamy. Many teams can Tush Push, but only the Eagles can Brotherly shove.” Thus, along with giving rise to a new nickname, the post also took its readers down the path of the Eagles’ history with the term.
