At the end of the 2017 season, Doug Pederson looked like one of the NFL’s best coaches.
After a season-ending injury to MVP candidate Carson Wentz, he took Nick Foles to a Super Bowl title. He outcoached Bill Belichick in that Super Bowl. He was a star, especially in Philadelphia.
Three seasons later, it has completely fallen apart for the Eagles.
Pederson is out as the Eagles’ head coach, the team confirmed via statement from team owner Jeffrey Lurie.
That’s the most surprising coaching-related news of the offseason.
The Eagles underachieved for the two seasons after the Super Bowl win, but rallied to make the playoffs each season.
