TK Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 https://nypost.com/2021/01/11/doug-pederson-fired-by-eagles/ Doug Pederson fired by Eagles By Justin Tasch January 11, 2021 | 2:09pm | Updated Doug Pederson’s time with the Eagles is over. Owner Jeffrey Lurie fired Pederson on Monday, according to multiple reports after a disastrous season in which the Eagles went 4-11-1 and had to bench franchise quarterback Carson Wentz because of his poor performance. Pederson, 52, led the Eagles to their first-ever Super Bowl title three years ago. He had a 42-37-1 regular-season record over five seasons in Philadelphia.

Malapropismic Depository Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I am literally, and not snarcastically, shocked. Something bad had to happen behind the scenes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Yeah, this goes beyond pulling Hurts from the game... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSSkinz Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Wow, is this them choosing Wentz over Pederson? Playoffs 3 out of 5 years and a Superbowl victory, tough gig being an NFL coach. That FO needs to hold themselves accountable for making lousy picks, you picked Reager and could have had Jefferson, dummies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Idaho fan Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Pederson seems to me to be a very good coach. Im surprised by this but happy as well since im not much of an Eagles fan. Ron Rivera is now the longest tenured coach in the NFCE. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t mean the longest employed by an NFCE team, right? Cause Mike McCarthy and Joe Judge also have been in the NFCE for a season. Well Doug, that’s kinda what you have to deal with if you wanna be a head coach. Owners are going to want to have a say in things too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdlives Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Any chance we could switch him for Turner as OC? We’re pretty much starting from scratch at QB anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickyJ Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 I think the Eagles will regret firing their most successful head coach since Andy Reid and their first Super Bowl winner since.... Oh yeah, they fired their only coach who's reached the Super Bowl. Cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh yeah, they fired their only coach who's reached the Super Bowl. Cool. They had TWO coaches who reached the super bowl. Just one that’s WON the super bowl EDIT: THREE, as @drowland corrected me on. However, my point still stands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsGuy Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 Whatever sets back the eagles. Does this mean Lurie wants to keep Wentz? Because Wentz isn't going to want to stay unless he is starting. Does Hurts go back to the bench? Will he be happy with that? Sounds like a potential QB mess in Philadelphia.

I didnt know that Vermeil took took the eagles to the super bowl, however my point still stands, Doug wasn’t the only eagles coach that reached the super bowl, as @NickyJ said.

NoVaSkins21 Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Wasn't expecting this at all. If they're all in Wentz, then they may some serious problems especially if haven't been watching games. What a mess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedBNG Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Wentz over Pederson? I'm confused. Is Lurie becoming like Snyder? Sounds good to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabbyrwock Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Is anyone else baffled by the fact that, by some miracle, we are not the biggest dumpster fire in the NFC east heading into the off season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently him or Roseman want to decide who his assistants are and whenever they fired assistants in the past it was their idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsFTW Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Funny that I've heard that the eagles are probably going to try to get Bienemy. They fire Andy Reid then all they do is hire his assistants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Califan007 The Constipated Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 Soooo..... Eagles: fire their head coach, have to figure out what to do with their starting QB which may have played a role in their head coach being fired. Cowboys: fire their defensive coordinator and DL coach after one year, are paying their starting RB $100 gazilion dollars to rush for 46 yards per game and take himself out after three straight runs, and have to figure out what to do with their injured starting QB who may demand $40M/year or more. Giants: head coach goes on a public whining spree after not making the playoffs at 6-10, and whose starting QB just had 3 fumbles and a pick-6 last Friday while eating at Red Lobster. WFT: head coach overcomes cancer, starting QB overcomes a life-threatening leg injury to go 5-1 as a starer, won the division, have a top-10 defense, a legit #1 WR, and may have found a future franchise QB on Craigslist. That seems right some how... . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
