That, and also the fact that Lurie was forcing his hand over Pederson's personnel wise and he had to eat [BLEEP] that year instead of using the guy he really wanted as his offensive coordinator.

Something that often gets overlooked for some reason. Not sure about all the details but that would piss me off too.

From an article:

Micromanaging Doug

A big theme in the story dealt with the way the front office — namely owner Jeff Lurie and GM Howie Roseman — treated Doug Pederson.


Pederson was the coach in Philly for five seasons before he was fired this past offseason. When the Eagles hired him back in 2016, it wasn’t a very popular decision, but Pederson went on to make the playoffs three years in a row and won a Super Bowl at the tail end of the 2017 season.


But the story from The Athletic paints a picture of the front office undermining Pederson quite often, especially when it came to his coaching staff. While we’ve heard some of this before, the story says that Pederson had to fight for Frank Reich to return after the 2016 season and also details his battle to keep Mike Groh and Carson Walch after the 2018 season.

Pederson lost that battle and Groh and Walch were fired. According to the report, Lurie gave Pederson 24 hours to make the moves and Pederson would be fired if he didn’t.

Even this past offseason, a main disagreement that led to Pederson’s dismissal was over coaching staff. Pederson wanted to keep his guys and Lurie wanted to shake up the staff again.
Here’s one quote from the story:

“The fact that Doug had the success he did with all the s— going on in the building, sometimes I look at our Super Bowl rings, and I’m like, ‘Holy cow, I don’t know how we did it.’”


This offseason, the Eagles hired another young first-time head coach in Nick Sirianni. The details of Pederson’s time in Philly lead you to wonder how Sirianni will be able to find success in this environment. But it is worth mentioning that it appears Sirianni was given the freedom to hire all — or at least most — of his first coaching staff.
