Eagles coach Doug Pederson excited for homecoming against Seahawks

Eagles coach Doug Pederson needs no introduction to what his team will face Sunday at CenturyLink Field from Seattle fans.

That’s because as a kid growing up in Ferndale, he was a proud, card-carrying member of the 12th man.

In a conference call with Seattle reporters Wednesday morning, Pederson recalled his days attending Seahawks games with his family.

“For me, it’s coming home a little bit,” he said. “I grew up a Seahawks fan and the Kingdome and all of that. I remember on Sunday mornings driving down with my mom and dad and going to Seahawks games and watching Jim Zorn and Steve Largent and Kenny Easley and those guys.
