Just years removed from bringing a Super Bowl to Philadelphia, Doug Pederson is out.
The decision was reported on Monday. Pederson had spent the day meeting with ownership about his vision for the future, and word leaked out in the afternoon that the organization had decided to go in a different direction. Given the Eagles’ roster this season expectations were high this summer in Philadelphia. But with the team winning just four games and facing questions about quarterback Carson Wentz, it seems ownership is looking for a big change.
Now, the Eagles join the hiring fray at a disadvantage, with numerous other organizations having already made a decision. Still, who are the best options to replace Pederson? They’ll probably face a big question out of the gate: What to do about Wentz?
