Insanity. Are they choosing Wentz over him??

He's the first head coach to be fired within 3 years of winning a Super Bowl since the Colts fired Don McCafferty after the 1972 NFL Season.

I think they must believe Frank Reich was a huge factor in that Super Bowl win.

It also didn't help that they were starting new offensive line group virtually each week.

Lost Reich. Lost Schwartz this year.

Reading the leaks of his conversation with the owner he apparently submitted his plan on how to fix the team and it was a bunch of internal promotions, rolling video guys into assistant rolls and an assistant to OC.

That was either an awful job on his part to develop a plan, pure arrogance because he wants full control, or intentional to cause a mutual parting of ways for whatever reason.

Either way they're currently broke.

Really? Who did he think he worked for, the Houston Texans?!

Wentz is under contract for 4 more years and his dead money is $59 mill right now. Promoting some dip**** receivers coach to OC after Wentz has struggled for 2 years was basically begging to be fired. The key to that job is fixing Wentz.... if they can

I think they need to fire Norman's own Press Taylor as well. Horrible job as the qb coach. Hasn't been the same since he got there. I guess he's gone with Pederson though.

Agree. I misspoke about receivers coach and actually meant Press Taylor at QB. That is who Pederson wanted to promote to OC which might be one of the all time worst assistant ideas out there after what he just presided over with Wentz. Lurie had to be like "you want to do WHAT???" They probably could have drug tested Pederson at that point and fired him for cause after he failed it

The Eagles fired coach Doug Pederson on Monday, ending a partnership that delivered the first and only Super Bowl title in the city's history. Pederson was expected to remain as coach despite a 4-11-1 finish this season. But multiple meetings with team owner Jeffrey Lurie over the past week left his boss unconvinced that Pederson had a sound vision for how to address the myriad issues facing the team, sources said, from navigating the Carson Wentz situation to fixing an offense that finished 26th in scoring (20.9 points per game) and 28th in passing yards (207.9 yards per game) in 2020.

Pederson became just the eighth NFL head coach to win a Super Bowl within his first two years at the helm when the Eagles beat the New England Patriots 41-33 to capture the Lombardi trophy during the 2017 season. That was the first of three straight playoff appearances for the Eagles under Pederson, before the wheels came off in 2020. He compiled a record of 46-39-1 over five seasons with the Eagles, including four playoff wins.

The Philadelphia Eagles entered the 2020 season as the only NFC East team with coaching staff continuity. Because the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, and the Washington Football Team all had new head coaches, the Eagles were favored to win a 2nd consecutive NFC East division title and 3rd in 4 years. But the Eagles finished dead last in the putrid division at 4-11-1, with 6 loses by 9+ points. Washington Football Team ended up winning the division with a 7-9 record.
