He expected to win this year.  Now here we are, how can they return to him hat in hand?  What excuses can they manufacture? 

ps. While Press Taylor was never the official OC in Philly,  Doug would not hire one at all so he just didn't have anyone with that title, because of the tiff with Luri. So Doug just had no OC that year, but this mean Press was the de facto OC just without the title. This move by Doug did not fool Luri and should not fool anyone else.

No, that's not quite right. Pederson wanted to give Mike Groh a second year as OC in 2020 but Roseman forced Pederson to fire him. Then when Pederson wouldn't name a new one the de facto OCs were Rick Scangarello and Marty Mornhenwig ("Offensive Consultants"), put in place by Roseman and Lurie to look over Pederson's shoulder. Press Taylor was not even discussed as OC until the following offseason (2021) when Pederson seems to have used it to get himself fired. Taylor wasn't an issue until Pederson wanted to put him in the O.C. chair, which was only an issue because of the failed Groh hire and Lurie/Roseman wanting a veteran OC presence in there rather than the person Pederson chose.
