Doug Pederson has accomplished a lot in his brief stint as the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, but the former NFL backup is still searching for his respect around the league.
In a ranking of NFL head coaches by CBS Sports, Pederson landed in the top-10 at No. 9 but landed behind some notable names like Kyle Shanahan (49ers) and Sean McVay (Rams).

The list went according to plan but got confusing after Shanahan landed at No. 5 ahead of names like Mike Tomlin, Pete Carroll, and of course, Pederson.
Common sense says since Pederson led the Eagles to a Super Bowl win, he should be ranked ahead of both Shanahan and McVay for that alone.
Pederson won a Super Bowl in his second season as a head coach and has been able to lead teams decimated by injury to a back-to-back playoff appearance after being all but on the brink of elimination both years.
Pederson is 38-26 over his first four seasons and hasn’t had a losing season since his first season as a head coach back in 2016.
