    Kind of odd Pederson got hired not long after Coughlin pulled his name out.

    Coughlin was their man at the point when Hue took the Browns and they got rejected by him too, so they got their third man. Kind of funny because they looked like such a good team the year before when Chip was their head coach before he got rid of their talent.

    Eagles could be violating league rules in Pederson hire
    Posted by Mike Florio on January 14, 2016, 8:02 PM EST

    The Eagles have ended their coaching search. But they haven’t named their next head coach. Which means that their next head coach can’t currently be named, because his team is still playing.
    Which is accurate, because multiple reports indicate that Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson will be the next coach.
    It’s a gutsy move from the Eagles, who could be in violation of league rules regarding the hiring of an assistant whose current team has not yet ended its season.
    “No contract shall be executed, and no agreement to execute a contract, or an announcement of a contract or of an agreement for employment, shall be permitted until after the conclusion of the employer club’s playing season,” the relevant policy states.
    So either the Eagles have violated the rule by agreeing to strike an agreement with Pederson, or the Eagles simply assume that Pederson will eventually agree to terms. Which gives Pederson plenty of power, if he chooses to use it.
    The Eagles surely trust that Pederson won’t, for example, ask for more money or otherwise renege on the deal they weren’t allowed to do. The rule itself is ridiculous; teams should be allowed to reach an agreement that won’t be effective until the new coach’s current season ends.
    But until the league changes the rule, that’s the rule. So the league either needs to change the rule or enforce its current terms as zealously as it enforces other rules.

    ^ Ya I'm so confused.. Can you really announce this right now? So weird..

    And as for the hire...not exciting at all. Eagles [basically] promote from within, Giants promote from within, Bucs promote from within.. It's all set up for the Titans to not take quite as much backlash when we promote from within? LOL
