Pederson comes to Philadelphia with 19 years experience in the NFL combined as both a coach and a player. After playing for the Eagles as a Quarterback earlier in his career and working under Andy Reid both with the team and in Kansas..Pederson returns to Philadelphia to start his first ever Head Coach job.
We reported earlier that the announcement was likely to come later today and it come earlier than expected. After weeks of analysis, the attention now turns to who the Eagles are going to hire as their OC/DC to support Pederson.
