One had better hope that the Eagles have a coach in the pipeline after allowing Doug Pederson to walk away on Monday, a full week after the season’s end and just three full seasons removed from Pederson’s winning the franchise its first and only Lombardi Trophy.
There are plenty of other Andy Reid disciples littered around for owner Jeffrey Lurie to pluck (insiders from NFL Network and beyond are already touting Reid’s quarterbacks coach and passing-game coordinator Mike Kafka for the job), hoping to somehow make amends for letting go of the man himself. And maybe that’s where this whole ship is eventually headed.
