Eagles coach Doug Pederson has revealed in his new book, FEARLESS, that a publishing house had suggested that Mike Lombardi, perhaps his most outspoken critic, should help him write the manuscript. Lombardi, who has a podcast on TheRinger.com and has appeared frequently on Philadelphia media outlets, is a former NFL executive who worked for various teams, including the Eagles. Among other criticisms, Lombardi said last year that Pederson"was less qualified to coach a team than anyone I've ever seen." Below are excerpts from the book that likely would have resulted from a Pederson-Lombardi collaboration.
