He did call it. Foles suggested it. Took some balls I'll give him that considering that they didn't execute it at all in practice. They kept Fn it up. So to do it at that stage was rather brassy. Give him credit where credit is due.

SO Foles CALLED it and Ped AGREED to it. Foles CALLED that play

Howie?

If he fired DP it probably means he doesn't wanna be done with Wentz. That's The only way it makes sense. 

I'm sad for Doug. Thought he'd get another year. I'll admit the SB win bias is large with me. Have to say, Lurie does not F around, he makes the hard decisions when needed. 

 

Best of luck to you Doug, thanks for the greatest year ever.

Praise the Lord Jesus we've been saved

You would think Roseman, Pederson and Wentz all had their jobs tied together but guess not. 

Pederson was indeed the fall guy and that is unfortunate. Probably came down to Lurie demanding that playcalling goes to OC (not named Press Taylor). If that was the case and Doug was against it then this firing was justified

You seem to not understand authority and who had the final say. Pederson could have said F you run a dive. Had it failed it would have been on Pederson for running a play that they couldn't even get to work in practice.

Wow...

Who is going to want this job? Its a terrible job.

1. Bad GM
2. No ability to hire staff
3. Old Team
4. No Cap Space
5. "Franchise QB" that is overpaid and arrogant
6. Refer to #1

Cross off #2 as I would assume a new HC will be given the liberty of hiring his own staff (at least initially).  

Looks like Rappaport, Siciliano and some others are reporting that Doug was tired of too many people telling him what to do.  
 

Didn’t this rear it’s head last season when Doug endorsed Groh then canned him the next day?

Time for Lurie to butt out a bit.  Fire Howie and hire an actual football guy, and give them some latitude to work.  
 

Howie must have naked pictures of Lurie.

Not necessarily. The world doesn't revolve around Wentz.

OH like Ped woulda called that on his own? HAHAHAHA.Watch the tape where Foles comes over and says "you want some Philly Philly?" If that's not a play call I don;t know what is

None of the names on this list excite me.

Among the hot outside candidates this year are Bills offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, Oklahoma head coach Lincoln Riley, Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, Chiefs quarterbacks coach Mike Kafka, Ravens quarterbacks coach James Urban and Panthers offensive coordinator Joe Brady.

F it go for Riley.  Reunite him with Hurts.  Seems to have worked in Arizona with Kingsbury and Murray.

What other reason to fire Doug? Unless that last game tank dive was all Doug's idea.

I dunno I think Howie and Lurie are gun shy after Chip. That left a permanent stain for a while IMO 

I’ll bet he was fired because he said gosh that one time...

With Doug out, I expect the plan going forward will be with Wentz, Not Hurts. I could be wrong. 

Just think. That sniveling rat Howie was  probably in the same room in a dark corner as Doug got fired.

Yeah that would seem to make sense.  

Oh sheeeeeeeet!!!!

Brian Schottenheimer here we come 

Who wants to work for a meddling owner and a terrible GM? We will hire some high school coach or some other puppet. I am fed up with the Fing team!

I think it’s time the Eagles finally get Urlacher in here.......to coach.

I disagree... If he made hard decisions Howie would be gone... Howie should have been shown the door before Doug... But with me it would have been a no brainer to get rid of Howie
