If you know anything about Philadelphia Eagles fans, it's that they have no mercy. They will boo anyone they thinks deserves it, and for any reason. Former players who left in a huff? Absolutely. Former players who were traded and had no say in their departure? Sure. Imaginary characters that don't live up to the crowd's expectations? Yup. Just ask Santa Claus.
In truth, there was no chance Eagles fans were going to boo Pederson. He did for Philadelphia what no other coach has been able to do in the Super Bowl era. He brought the Lombardi Trophy to Philly, down Broad Street and all the way to the Linc. He had the cojones to let Nick Foles run the Philly Special, a top 5 all-time Super Bowl play. He'll never have to buy another drink in Eastern Pennsylvania again. He's a hero and always will be.
It's true that things were not great at the end of Pederson's run with the Eagles at the end of the 2020 season. Quarterback Carson Wentz was bad and had been benched. No one really believed Jalen Hurts had the ability to step up and be a real QB1. Games felt scattered, with no real philosophy or driving force beyond"win." The Eagles finished 4-11 and no one was happy.
It was still a surprise when Pederson was fired, since the Eagles had spent just one season seriously struggling , but he wasn't run out of town on a rail. Eagles fans weren't chasing his family's moving truck with torches and pitchforks until it left the city limits. Between Wentz and the losing, something had to change.
And now Pederson has come back on his own terms, with a young Jags team thirsty for not just success, but true leadership . If he and the Jags beat the Eagles on Sunday, all of that goodwill will evaporate for awhile, but he'll still be an Eagles legend at the Linc.
