Monday afternoon, the Philadelphia Eagles created headlines by firing head coach Doug Pederson. The former assistant to Andy Reid saw his tenure come to an end after five years, three playoff appearances, and a Super Bowl victory. The team will now move forward and try to find a new head coach that can lead the Eagles to an NFC East crown after a disappointing 4-11-1 season.
When Eagles fans heard that a new era was on the horizon, they responded with a wide array of comments. Some applauded the move and said that the victory over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII was “a fluke” and would not happen again. Others said that they would miss Pederson and thanked him for winning seasons and playoff appearances. The comments continued as many people tried to predict the future of the Eagles.

I may never see another Super Bowl win for the Eagles in my life time. My Dad never saw one. Thank you Doug Pederson for coaching that team. Still the only game I’ll rewatch start to finish.

Nothing but success going forward.
Well Eagles fans, it’s back to mediocrity.

I do not get this logic by @eagles. I admit a casual fan, but 1 bad year seriously? #nfltwitter

This decision doesnโt feel right and itโs upsetting to see. Thanks for the pure joy you brought to our city, Doug. You will always have a special place in the heart of all Eagles fans. https://t.co/qEqA5bXWJR

You fired the wrong guy. Find someone that can draft.

Eagles entire organization has become such a disaster. What coach would want to come work under a GM who always points the finger when things don’t go well

Eagle fans who are running Doug Pederson out of town quickly forget that he did the impossible…….HE WON A SUPERBOWL

This is only surprising because the Eagles were so late in doing it. That SB Ring is looking more and more like a fluke every day.
