In the spring of 2016, the Eagles were in a very odd predicament. Their former Head Coach, Chip Kelly, was fired right before the final game of the season after being with the team since 2013. Following that, Howie Roseman was resurrected from the outskirts of the Novacare complex where he went back to his old office, dusted off his old desk and spun his office chair while stating to himself that it was time to work.
Roseman was brought back by Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie to help right the ship and hopefully avoid a complete rebuild. Their first step was to find the right man to help lead this locker room, fortunately, the Eagles chose Doug Pederson to be Kelly’s successor.
