Also skewed stat, only one single team each year could possibly do that lol, try doing top 5 or top 10 or something that makes sense bruh.

May I ask why you continue to believe that Doug didn't get fired because of Press Taylor? Ask ANY Philly fan, it was because Doug promoted Press every year and once he had the chance to install him as OC the owner said naaah no one on this staff is good enough to promote, Doug started to be a crybaby for Press... so he got the axe. That's what happened. 

Why do you believe otherwise?

Because the situation was more complex than that. The owner and GM wanted contol of Doug's staff.  He wasn't allowed to replace Jim Swartz as DC when he wanted to. Two years prior they pressured him to fire Mike Groh and Carson Walch then made him reverse his public statement that they would be back and fire them when he didn't want to. Then the next season when he went without an OC, they forced him to have Marty Mornhinweg and Rick Scangarello as "Senior Assistants" on his staff. That resulted in him (Doug) being forced to consider giving up play calling duties when he didn't want to (what everyone is [BLEEP] about him doing here they forced him to do there!). The final nail was when Jalen Hurts ourperformed the owner's Golden Boy and won the starting job so Carson Wentz went crying to the owner and GM and forced the question on Pederson. It was pretty clear that Pederson was done with them meddling in his staff decisions and it was best for all that he move on. It wasn't just about Press Taylor, it was about all of Doug's assistants and the owner and GM meddling in his choices for several years. Doug had threatened to leave earlier, but the Eagles leadership didn't take it seriously.

Troy Aikman had a nice interview about it there after and his conclusion was that the Hurts/Wentz problem was the key driver in Pederson departure.

All this "It's Press Taylor's fault!" stuff is bull [BLEEP] propoganda; it was Lurie and Roseman.
