Only three years since winning a Superbowl! NFL really does stand for not-for-long. Title: Re: Doug Pederson fired Post by: Dolphster on January 12, 2021, 09:34:38 am That was a little surprising to me considering that I assumed he was doing management's bidding for them when he seemingly tanked in their last game by putting in the 3rd string QB in order to get a better draft position.

You assumed wrong. Management did not want Pederson to tank that game. And that led to a bitter falling out between them.

And that led to a bitter falling out between them. I could very well be wrong. I admittedly didn't delve too deep on the topic and was basing my comment just on face value of what I saw on tv. Did you see something that documented that Management didn't want Pederson to tank the game?

This is football. It's every team for themselves.
