In the midst of the NFL Super Bowl LIX, South Carolina Gamecocks coach Dawn Staley showed her support in a unique way. On Feb. 9, while the game was still ongoing, the 54-year-old took to her Instagram to share a few photos from a live-viewing party where she was watching the finals.

Staley posted a picture of herself wearing a large Philadelphia Eagles hat in solid green with the team's logo in front. Born and raised in Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, the tenured coach also donned team gear while writing the caption:

"@philadelphiaeagles RING US! IT’S OVER! Play with QB1 if you want to! @JalenHurts thank you!"

With the 17-year Gamecocks coach showcasing her side and strengthening Philadelphia's drubbing of the Chiefs, fans reacted to her message in the comment section.

Fortunately for Staley and the Eagles faithful, the NFL team held on to their commanding lead. They defeated the Kansas City Chiefs, who had a late surge in the fourth quarter, the Eagles triumphed 40-22 to secure their second-ever Super Bowl championship.

This is not the first time Dawn Staley wore a hat that big

Dawn Staley loves to show her support for her favorite teams in bold ways. The three-time national champion coach made a statement with her style before the 59th Super Bowl. In January of this year, Staley was spotted wearing a large hat on the sidelines during the South Carolina Gamecocks' men's basketball team's game against the Florida Gators.

Spending most of her life in the sports world, Staley's passion can never be overlooked as she looks to apply that same fire in her team's current bid to hopefully repeat as national champions come March.
