Doug Peterson fired as Eagles HC!

[Asklesko]

Sockhopper had it coming

I understand that Peterson was never the same after Difilipo and Reich left. I truly get it. But he was still the head coach. Frank Reich was still apart of his coaching staff. So we can't sit here and give him zero credit for that Super Bowl.

I understand and pretty much agree that he played some part... however, that offense (and Wentz) was never the same once they left.

Not to mention that Reich has Indy playing very well.

 

[Joe Realist]

That’s crazy. And after winning a SB not that long ago.

I know. He will get the Jets job if he wants it.

 

[Praxit]

Just came across my text feed. Three playoffs years and a Super Bowl.

...lol....that's what I said. Now watch the guy they get, they wish they kept Pederson.

Howie won the divorce lmao

Not so fast.........maybe after the draft

Carsus: Peace be with you.

He does....but at the same time....if you take away Wentz's 2017 year.....he's really been playing like the same guy from last year to his rookie season.

Damn.....I wonder does he hold off for a better gig? With that JETs job he will probably have some leeway there due to his resume.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Wow .... Holy crap, wait so are they keeping Wentz then?

Yes ......IMO this is huge plus the Wentz staying. For whatever reason, he just did not click in Peterson scheme......Foles and Hurts did.

If it was any other team besides the Eagles, I would feel sorry. Instead I’m happy

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Exactly. It wasn’t accountability... it was most likely Howie and Lurie wanting to try to salvage their expensive QB who can’t play. That isn’t accountability. That is meddling with what the coaches are trying to do to win.

+1

 

[Sheepish]

Don't let the door hit ya on the way out Doog!

He won't, but I still hope he stays unemployed for at least a year for disgracefully tanking.

OMG, is that a real statue that's supposed to be taken seriously?

Doug Peterson fired as Eagles HC!

Wow! Anyone know how much of that is due to the last game loss?

 

[plymkr]

Please hire Garrett.

Well played sir, well played indeed.

 

[KeepinTime]

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

Plus one weekend a month on the yacht.

that statue is cursed.
both foles and pedersen....gone.

I think it’s pretty obvious that the real mastermind of the Eagles SB was Frank Reich and on defense, it’s basically Fletcher Cox who carries them.

 

[KeepinTime]

So much truth in that. Not only do you have to live in Philly but you’ve gotta deal with their garbage fans, plus eight different people telling you what to do on every decision.

 

[khiladi]

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.

Wasn’t there some talk here about how Wentz basically favors his TEs? Was that all schematics?
