Eagles fire head coach Doug Pederson after abysmal season

He may have won the Super Bowl, and yes, there is a statue of him outside Lincoln Financial Field. But as the saying goes: What have you done for me lately?

Despite all the success the Philadelphia Eagles have had with Doug Pederson at the helm, they have finally decided to move in a different direction following a disappointing 2020 season.

The team has announced that they have fired their head coach after five seasons in the role.

The 51-year old, who was officially hired in January 2016, had reportedly clashed with several players this season, including starting quarterback Carson Wentz. The controversial decision to play Nate Sudfeld at QB in the fourth quarter of their loss to Washington Football Team in Week 17 was essentially the nail in the coffin for his time in Philadelphia

He finishes his tenure 42-37-1 regular season record, 4-2 postseason record and the franchise’s first-ever Super Bowl title in 2017.
