Is it possible that Pederson was directed to tank? From the Philadelphia Inquirer:

Doug Pederson was the Eagles’ head coach for five years. During that time, he seldom disagreed with any suggestions or orders given to him by his two bosses, owner Jeffrey Lurie and general manager Howie Roseman.

Their wish essentially was his command.

Retain a group of assistant coaches from Chip Kelly’s staff? Sure, no problem.

Fire offensive coordinator Mike Groh after the 2019 season and replace him with a cast of thousands? Uh, OK.

Do whatever you have to do to lose the last game of the season to Washington so that we can secure the highest possible draft pick? Okey doke.

But when Lurie and Roseman gave him a firm no to his plan to make his 32-year-old protégé, Press Taylor, the team’s new offensive coordinator, Pederson finally decided enough was enough. And yada, yada, yada, [URL='https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/philadelphia-eagles-fire-doug-pederson-20210111.html']the Eagles are looking for a new head coach.[/URL]
