Doug Peterson fired as Eagles HC!

[Fizziksman]

probably forced to let him go or lose their pick

I wish the Cowboys held people accountable like the Eagles do.

This isn't about holding him accountable. They chose Wentz over Peterson. Peterson clearly didn't want to be there anymore based on how he was coaching.......

 

[Risen Star]

What a mess.

This is a surprise. I still think the tank game was okayed by ownership. Smells like PR to me but ah well.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

So for those wanting to "tank"......as you can see this is the benefits of it. Philly is a mess. Even more so than Dallas it seems.

 

[JayFord]

We all might be happy right now but if they get Eric Beienemy as HC and Brent Venables as DC imma lose it

If Jerry had a coach with that resume in 5 seasons, he would have given him a lifetime contract, put him in the Ring of Honor already, and named a section of the stadium after him

Like he did with Jimmy?

Yeah I think they gave him the blessing unless he just didn't give a damn....Peterson seems kind of clueless like he doesn't care what his players want.

Whatever makes you feel better... at the end of the day, the Eagles are just a better organization at the top than the Cowboys are, we would have never made a move remotely close to this.

Two Franchises
One holds on to its coaches way too long and the other tosses them aside like an empty box of chicken mcnuggets.

I think Doug was talking about Howie Roseman

 

[AKATheRake]

I'll take him at OC any day.

He may get along well with McCarthy as they both have that Packer history and are WCO savvy.

I may be in the few, but this Kellen Moore thing is not all that.

I know Lurie's got $'s , but Philthy is not in good cap shape , they need help everywhere and they have a QB problem ; who is really going to want that job ?

Anyone wanting to be a HC.

Doug altered the offense last year to a big set with 2 and 3 TE and multiple backs quick often.
Not much was made of this at the time because Philly had no WRs but they actually made their playoff push with TEs and Backs as the primary targets of Wentz passes.
Wentz actually played better us this system.

Then interestingly they went away from that plan almost immediately and spent the off-season trying to add big play WRs and trade Ertz.
Wentz definitely didn't excel with the deeper targets and big play shots being hit or miss.

And I'm glad....they just fired the head coach who won them their 1st Super Bowl in 50 years.....I'm not saying its right or wrong. I personally wouldn't have done it. But they surely aren't a model franchise. You guys do this every offseason with the Eagles...boost them up and I don't get why. There are still people around here who are upset Jimmy got fired...imagine if Jimmy got fired after 1 Super Bowl lol....but aye have at it. I'm not shocked that some of the "fans" on this site are still hyping up the Eagles even after having the worst record in the division.

Worst job on the market.......and this is some model franchise huh? @Section446
