The Doug Pederson era in Philadelphia has come to an end.
The Philadelphia Eagles have fired now former head coach Doug Pederson. Pederson led the Eagles to the franchises first Super Bowl victory in 2017.
Pederson was (42-37-1) as the Philadelphia Eagles head coach
According to NBC Sports,
Owner Jeff Lurie fired Pederson Monday in the wake of a miserable 4-11-1 season. The Eagles have won four or fewer games three times since Jeff Lurie bought the team – 1998, 2012 and 2020 – and Lurie fired the head coach each time.
Only three teams in the Eagles’ 88-year history have lost more games.
Pederson is the first NFL coach in nearly half a century to be fired less than six years after winning a Super Bowl. Don McCafferty led the Colts to the Super Bowl V championship after the 1970 season but was fired five games into 1972 when he refused to bench 39-year-old Johnny Unitas in favor of Marty Domres.
He’s also the second Eagles coach in franchise history to be fired within a year of reaching the playoffs. Buddy Ryan was fired by Norman Braman after the 1990 season despite taking the Eagles to the playoffs in 1988, 1989 and 1990.
Lurie has hired four head coaches since buying the team from Norman Braman in 1994. All four have won 10 games and reached the postseason by their second season.
