Doug Pederson’s “emotional intelligence” was a big selling point when the Philadelphia Eagles hired him as head coach in 2016.
Since then, we’ve seen different examples of how Pederson handles his players. The team’s 20-12 record in that span would indicate he’s done a good job in that regard.
But now things are getting more serious than ever. The Eagles are set to play their first playoff game of the Pederson era.
And in preparation for that, Philadelphia’s head coach is leaning on players who have not only been there before — but who have also won the whole damn thing.
