Giants’ players, current and former react to Eagles firing Doug Pederson

Eagles did the right thing in firing Pederson

With news breaking on Monday that the Philadelphia Eagles fired their head coach Doug Pederson, some former and current players on the New York Giants reacted on Twitter.

Former Giants’ kicker Lawrence Tynes was pretty happy with the news.

Never like to see anyone lose their job, especially during a pandemic. However, this one did make me grin a little. 😃 #TogetherBlue pic.twitter.com/K1N4pBH1ti

Former Giants’ linebacker Carl banks actually predicted this would happen and felt like Pederson was trying to get fired after intentionally losing their week 17 game against the Washington Football Team.

This aged well… Now, will his INTEGRITY be questioned by the teams that are falling over themselves? The #NFL should consider keeping him out for a few yrs. The @Eagles Lurie should make sure any team that hires him compensate them multiple 1st rd picks https://t.co/JGcMVs8QUF pic.twitter.com/e1v5fyydeS

Former Eagles and Giants linebacker Emmanuel Acho is more on Pederson’s side and thought it was a mistake by Philly.

NOOOO, HUGE mistake by the #Eagles!

Doug Pederson should submit his resume back to the #Eagles without his name on it, and they’d higher him again since he’s the most qualified!

Damn they sent Pederson packing after one bad year

I don’t think anyone is surprised by this news. Even Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie threw Pederson under the bus by saying that he had no idea that he would put in Nate Sudfeld in the close game against Washington in week 17, which ultimately cost them the game.

Pederson is certainly a good coach, but what he did against Washington was very odd. I’ve never seen an NFL coach so blatantly try to lose a game.
