The Philadelphia Eaglesannounced Monday that they have parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson after five seasons with the franchise.
The move comes following a disappointing 4-11-1 campaign and reported recent meetings with owner Jeffrey Lurie regarding Pederson s future with the organization. Coach Pederson and I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss what that collective vision would look like moving forward, Lurie said in a statement. After taking some time to reflect on these conversations, I believe it is in both of our best interests to part ways.
Despite the Eagles record, Pederson s offseason plans apparently had as much to do with his firing as Philadelphia s on-field performance. Lurie didn t agree with Pederson s proposed staff changes for 2021, which reportedly included a number of internal promotions, according to NFL Network s Ian Rapoport.
