Doug Pederson is almost two-years removed from winning the Super Bowl, but the struggles of 2019 have some wondering if the Philadelphia Eagles are tuning their head coach out.

The Eagles have struggled to play a complete game on both sides of the ball and need to win four straight games to secure the NFC East and a playoff appearance.
With the Eagles disappointing loss to Miami Sunday, many were questioning whether or not Pederson has lost control of the locker room.
The Eagles head coach address those claims on Thursday, and stated emphatically, that he hasn’t lost the locker room.
Doug Pederson says he still has the Eagles locker room and has NOT lost the team

Pederson said he still thinks he has the full support of the locker room and that the team as a whole, are “sick to their stomach” over the way they’ve performed over the past three weeks.
When asked what his message was to the team entering this week, Pederson had this to say.
“We’re in a must-win situation. We know that. It started last week… for me, I gotta stay the course. I gotta stay as transparent and honest as I can with the team… we’re in that must-win situation now.”
He couldn’t have said it any better, now we’ll see if the team responds.
