Doug served his purpose of getting the team out of the gutter but I don't think he can take this team over the top to a Super Bowl.

I think everyone here agrees with those sentiments. 

The question at hand though is this season. Would firing Doug say before the BYE week salvage the season at all or not? I tend to lean towards firing Doug Pederson and Press Taylor wouldn't change much this year, as I doubt a makeshift Mike McCoy offense that is implemented mid season fixes much especially since those middling SDC offenses were with a much better QB in Phillip Rivers compared to current Trevor Lawrence.

But it's obvious that things can still work out if Doug let Press go and find another OC to groom while he takes over the offense.

I recall Dallas also did something like this.  There's no reason we have to fire Doug, unless he want's to keep on the same course that in resulting in disaster.

But wouldn't that be an off season salve? There is no way during the season Doug fires Press Taylor and gives up the offense to Mike McCoy.
