Chiefs Eagles Set to Hire Doug Pederson As Head Coach - Page 10

The Eagles are set to hire Doug Pederson as their new head coach, a league source tells Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Inquirer (Twitter link). Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer confirms (via Twitter) that Pederson is the Eagles’ man. The Chiefs offensive coordinator remains alive in the postseason, so Philadelphia won’t be able to make the hiring official until after this weekend’s game, at the earliest.Doug Pederson

A former Eagles quarterback, Pederson has only been connected to the Philadelphia job and none of the other NFL head coaching vacancies. In addition to having played for the Eagles, he also coached with the team during Reid’s tenure, serving as an offensive quality control coach in 2009 and 2010, then as the club’s quarterbacks coach in 2011 and 2012.

Pederson, who has been Kansas City’s offensive coordinator since the team hired Reid as its head coach in 2013, was one of six head coaching candidates to interview with the Eagles. Three coaches that were considered to be strong candidates for Philadelphia have since been hired elsewhere or withdrawn from the process — Adam Gase landed with the Dolphins, Ben McAdoo was promoted by the Giants, and Tom Coughlin removed himself from consideration.

In addition to those candidates, the Eagles also interviewed in-house assistants Pat Shurmur and Duce Staley. Shurmur served as the interim head coach after Chip Kelly‘s firing in Week 17, while Staley is Philadelphia’s running backs coach.

McAdoo and Coughlin received plenty of buzz this week for the Eagles’ job, with at least one report suggesting he would have been the choice if he hadn’t withdrawn. However, a weekend report indicated that Pederson initially entered the process as owner Jeffrey Lurie’s favorite among non-head coaches. After McAdoo and Coughlin became unavailable, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reported that the Eagles had moved on to pursuing Pederson.

Other potential OC's?
Philbin?

Philban is apparently headed to the Giants.

He sucks, anyway.

Keep reading this as set fire to Doug Peterson.

why waste 10 pages on a team that will do no better than 3rd or 4th place next year in division?

We're talking about the Eagles, not the Squeelers.

Way too much IMO. Seriously I am pissed they announced before we were done. I'm gonna sue Lurie!

That would suck to lose Childress.

If Philly had any sense, they would have hired a Chan Gailey.

Why didn't that guy get any calls?

If I was looking for a HC, he would be the first guy I'd call.

Money talks.

Win on Sat, take Sun off, and go to Philly for an interview on Mon while the rest of your current team is breaking down film on the Patriots...

That's a surefire recipe for suckcess. **** you, Doug Hackett.

Paul Pederson. Whatever

Doug Pederson's new home. Took this on Sunday while coming back from Philly. That town is OLD and looks beat up, just like their fans. LOL

Did you not read the Peter King article?

Pederson took the blame for what happened -- or at least explained his reasoning. He said he was sharing play-calling duties with Chiefs coach Andy Reid earlier in the game before being handed the reins in the second half.

"I'll even go back a little bit further. I was able to call plays really since the Pittsburgh game -- if you followed the Kansas City Chiefs -- from the Pittsburgh game on," he said. "Coach Reid and I had a great understanding, a great feel for the game. He allowed me to call the second half of every football game from that Steeler game on. The second half of our playoff game the other night, I had the second half."

That may have been true before people could walk around with 30 hours of video in their hip pocket.
