This link describing his firing in Philly cured my curiosity and explains why he must have his own hand picked staff. Good for you Doug Pederson.

NH3...

I agree, a coach SHOULD pick his own coaching staff. I just don't know if Taylor will turn out to be his best choice. I don't think any Eagles fans were excited at the thought of Taylor being OC at the time. 

I don't specifically remember now, or if I ever knew, if Doug hired Reich and Schwartz in 2016 but I think they were his picks (for OC and DC). There were a few coaches from Chip Kelly's staff that Lurie and Howie wanted to keep and Doug agreed (OL Coach, RB Coach and Special Teams are three that come to mind). 

Like I said, unless he's matured and changed, Doug needs a voice in his ear reminding him that there's a run game and the run game will open up the pass game and vice-versa. 

Give Doug a decent QB, a good OL and a good RB (that he uses properly), and he'll win you games. I have no doubt about that. Leave him to his own passing game desires, though and 4-11-1 is always a possibility ... well, add another win, loss or tie in there since there's 17 games now.
