Doug Pederson leaves the Philadelphia Eagles with the seventh and worst head-coaching opening

How the mighty have fallen. Only three years after winning Super Bowl LII at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Doug Pederson is officially out as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

It’s easy to see why, though. After a 7-9 season to open the partnership between Pederson and quarterback Carson Wentz, the former backup quarterback orchestrated the 13-3 season that ended in Minneapolis with Nick Foles hoisting the Lombardi.

Two straight injury-riddled 9-7 playoff finishes gave way to a disaster in 2020, where Wentz lost his starting job and the team finished 4-11-1, with Pederson appearing to tank the last part of the last game in an attempt to move up three spots in the 2021 NFL Draft.
