In a surprising turn of events, Doug Pederson has been fired by the Philadelphia Eagles after a tumultuous 2020 campaign.
The writing has been on the wall since “Tankgate“. After an initial meeting with owner Jeffrey Lurie last week, a second meeting in Florida today ended the Super Bowl-winning coach’s tenure in Philadelphia.
Pederson leaves the Eagles after five seasons with a 42-37-1 record, having made the playoffs in three of his five seasons, and of course, winning the only Super Bowl in team history.
While he isn’t fully to blame for the outcome of a bitterly disappointing 4-11-1 season, he does have to take a chunk of accountability.
