Doug Pederson Out...

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Sad day for Eagle fans....but something had to give....Jets likely to reach out to him....

 

[kane]

Wow, I think they're making a mistake, he'll be scooped up quick I would think

 

[jimmythegreek]

Draft pick mentality with 4 wins? He deserved to be shown the door. I bought down smartly but all the other bellyachers who couldn't play spoiler and lost money can at least cry, "karma". Good riddance. The worst fans in the league will be happy whomever is on the sidelines next season.

 

[FairWarning]

Jets? Jags?

 

[John Kelly]

Super Bowl LII champ could not overcome a 4-11-1 season loaded with controversy.

Seems like the feud between Wentz and Pederson festered.

The NFL is a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business.

I've always liked Pederson's aggressive play-calling philosophy on fourth down and, of course, his creative "Philly Special" trick play.

How much of the 2017 success was Reich?

I wonder how much of the doings on the field were dictated by upper management or even ownership? i.e., taking Hurts out during the Washington game, or sticking with Wentz for as long as they did?

Former Detroit Lions HC Jim Schwartz who was the OC for Philly retired too.

 

[WildBill]

Jets will go hard after him but watch him end up in San Diego North.

You mean defensive coordinator.

 

[John Kelly]

Always the right question.

Don't have the answer.

There are coaches and then there are coach's contributions.

 

[John Kelly]

I remember when UNLV hired Mike Sanford as head football coach after a successful run as offensive coordinator at the University of Utah.

One problem: Everyone knew Utah's high-flying offense was a product of Urban Meyer's genius, not Mike Sanford's.

Whoops!

 

[jimmythegreek]

I vote this guy to be the next head coach.

Lots of boorish behavior seen at the 700 level of the old Veterans Stadium.

Same thing happened in Boise. Hawkins got all the credit and a shot to coach in the Big 12 but everyone close to the program knew it was Peterson that had the Broncos stampeding over the competition.

duce new hc?

Yes, my bad!!!

That's where local info is good.

You don't want local opinions but you do want the inside information, provided it's accurate.

Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said Wentz had nothing to do with Pederson's firing.

Hmmm...

I'll throw the red challenge flag.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

If Lurie decided to fire Pederson, he should have fired the GM Roseman also...

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Bieneimy and Daboll are the favorites to become the head coach...would like to see the Eagles promote from within...Duce Staley would be a candidate...

 

[John Kelly]

Back in 2003, Duce Staley combined with Brian Westbrook and Correll Buckhalter to form a backfield known as "The Three-Headed Monster."

 

[sharky99]

I don't know.

You don't find a SB coach around every corner, sounds like he didn't have control of everything.

He had a ton of injuries to deal with the last 2 years and I guess management/ownership gets impatient.

He did have some questionable in-game decisions.

Can't wait to hit his UNDER team win totals whenever Bieniemy gets his head coaching shot.

 

[WildBill]

Man Eagles are screwed with Josh McDaniels. He'll want to get rid of Hurts and Wentz and sign some other team's backup. I'm really shocked any time would give this prick the time of day for an HC job.

 

[Viejo Dinosaur]

Anybody before Josh McDaniels....
