Well, anyways...  At that time, Philly decided to fire Andy Reid!  I was so excited.  We could fire Mularkey and get Andy Reid!?!?! 

I was yelled down by so many... 

You know who we hired?  Gus Bradley....  And then we had a group of toxic posters yelling at us about how we don't know how Defense works.  And we need to learn about the 5tech.  Or whatever Bull [BLEEP] those guys thought was going to make the jaguars great...  Because of Gus Bradley....  LOL

To think, we could have hired Andy Reid in 2013!!! 

But at least now we have Pederson.  Who, shall we never forget, came from the Andy Reid coaching tree.  All this to say, Pederson is the coach of the Year.  Not only that, he's the coach of the Franchise.  Dude is a legend in the making.  It's gonna be great to sit back and watch him conduct a master-piece for the next 15 or 20 years.

Mind blowing to think we could have had Reid.  That being said, I don't think Doug will be here for 15 to 20 years.  Even Peyton Manning had 4 different HC during his career in Indy.  Long tenured coaches are the exception these days, like Belicheck, Tomlin, Carroll and Reid.  It's just the nature of the business.  Plus, he'll be 69 to  yo.  Might not want to coach that long.  Hope I'm wrong.

A head coach lasting 15-20 years is a rarity these days.  However, if I had to bet on one, DP would probably be my pick.  Khan has shown an incredible loyalty.  Gus Bradley got 4 years.  Most owners will fire coaches because of fans and ticket sales.  Khan has so much money, he doesn't care.  If he likes Pederson, he will keep him even if he has a couple of down years.  I think Khan thinks much more like a typical CEO and less like a typical NFL owner.  In the business world, if a manager is good, you keep him until retirement.  If DP is a good coach now, why would he be a bad coach 15 years from now?  Is he going to become less intelligent over time?  Is he going to get hit over the head and get brain damage?  Not likely.  A businessman sees it as logical to keep him.  I think DP is here for the long haul.
