Doug Pederson Is Officially the Eagles' Head Coach and Now It Can't Be Undone
The Philadelphia Eagles announce the hiring of Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson as the team’s new head coach.
The Eagles will introduce Pederson as the team’s new head coach at a 2 PM press conference at the NovaCare Complex on Tuesday.
The 47-year-old Pederson comes to the Eagles with a combined 19 years of NFL experience as both a coach and player, including the last three seasons as the Chiefs’ offensive coordinator. This will be his third stint with the Eagles, as he previously served as the team’s quarterbacks coach (2011-12) and offensive quality control coach (2009-10), and played quarterback for the team in 1999.
“We are excited to introduce Doug Pederson as our new head coach,” said Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie. “Doug is a strategic thinker, a compelling leader and communicator, and someone who truly knows how to get the best out of his players. All of these factors were what initially attracted us to Doug and we believe that he is the right man to help us achieve our ultimate goal.”
Is it too late now to say “sorry”? Well yes, in fact it is, Jeff.
Press conference tomorrow at 2 p.m. Can’t wait.
