Come correct to Doug Pederson or don’t come at all:

Doug is going to walk into every Jacksonville press conference like he’s Vince McMahon if this is how easy the questions are going to be:

Dealing with the Jacksonville media after five years in Philadelphia is like Mr. Miyagi training Daniel-san while waxing his car. If Doug didn’t learn to paint the fence in Philly he probably would’ve given a long answer that would’ve gotten him in trouble. Instead he shut the question down using only three words. That reporter had 48 hours to prepare and that’s your first question? Doug faced off with Angelo Cataldi at 6 a.m. for five years. The audience was moved to applause! That would never happen at NovaCare!

There is no coach in the NFL moving into a better situation than Doug Pederson in Jacksonville. #1 overall QB of the future, this year’s first pick, and it’s Jacksonville. Nobody is out for blood when it’s 60 degrees in February. Doug could go 0-17 come out and take a dump on the sideline and walk back to the locker room for the rest of the game and he’d still be liked more than the guy before him. Remember this is what Doug looked like the last day we saw him in Philly:

That guy up there won the Super Bowl three years prior and Philly turned him into a ghoul. That’s a broken man. A man who knew he’d be fired, but also prayed for it because it was taking a toll on his health. If Doug was your boss and showed up to work looking like that people would start whispering. If we’re being honest Jeffrey Lurie saved Doug Pederson’s life the day he fired him.

And this guy:

Are the same person. Woof.

God I do miss him though:
