Does anyone still doubt that Doug Pederson is the real deal?
When some boob at USA Today rated the incoming head coaches for the 2016 season, Pederson finished seventh – out of seven. History tells us you can’t be sure what you have in a head coach until he gets a season or two under his belt, but this was an enormous miss.
In addition to the above snub, when Pederson’s Eagles went 13-3 in the 2017 regular season, he still drew little attention. His team was still the underdog in all three of its postseason games.
