If this is true, they had to fire Pederson...was this really Doug's plan? Awful!

[Birdwatcher]

Sources told The Inquirer that last week Pederson proposed promoting quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator Press Taylor to offensive coordinator, making passing game analyst Andrew Breiner the quarterbacks coach, replacing retired defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz with either defensive line coach Matt Burke or former secondary coach Cory Undlin, and retaining special teams coordinator Dave Fipp, whose units endured their worst season since Fipp’s 2013 arrival.



Lurie pressed Pederson for some outside candidates who might provide fresh ideas. Taylor, 33, has been under scrutiny as the coach most responsible for developing Wentz the past three seasons, in which Wentz rarely has approached the level he consistently reached in 2017. After the Super Bowl, the Indianapolis Colts hired away Eagles offensive coordinator Frank Reich as their head coach.

They need fresh ideas in the coaching staff, Press Taylor as OC? WTF was Doug thinking?

That is what I believe happened. Doug wanted to promote Press to OC so that he would not have to give up playcalling. Lurie and Howie were not about it so they told him to pack his bags.

Which if true means Doug deserved to lose his job.

It seems to me that Doug came totally unprepared. It's is 1 of 2 possibilities. Either Doug is totally fucking stupid or he self sabatoged (which I think) to get turfed and get the fuck out of Dodge. I don't think Doug wanted to be in Philly anymore are he went to the meeting knowing it would get him fired. Keeps his money and moves to another job where he has more power and without having issues with his QB win win for him.

Because forcing Scangarello and Morningwheg on him worked so well.

Howie learned the art of the smear campaign from one of the best.
