Now, his relationship with the Eagles appears to be in disarray.</p><p>Rumors that he wanted out of Philly surfaced as a result of a turbulent campaign with the Eagles this past season. However, Rob Maaddi of The Associated Press said on <a href="https://twitter.com/connermarkshow">The Conner and Mark Show</a> that the one-time Pro-Bowler has yet to formally request a trade from Philadelphia; that is at least, according to what he has heard so far.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">🚨Ep. 42 – Will Carson Wentz return to the Eagles next season? 🚨<a href="https://twitter.com/RobMaaddi?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">@RobMaaddi</a>: “I can tell you that I have not heard that Carson Wentz at any point, either he or his agent, said to the Eagles he wants to be traded”. <br>Listen to the full episode on Spotify and Apple Podcast! <a href="https://t.co/yPouEG1WtM" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/yPouEG1WtM</a></p><p>— The Conner and Mark Show (@connermarkshow) <a href="https://twitter.com/connermarkshow/status/1350106053598347273?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">January 15, 2021</a></p></blockquote><p></p></figure><p>Nevertheless, Maaddi clarified that this doesn’t indicate that Wentz won’t, at some point in the future, eventually make that formal request. The 28-year-old has reportedly developed trust issues with the franchise that took him no. 2 overall in the 2016 draft.</p><p>Philadelphia also recently fired head coach Doug Pederson, nearly four years after he led the Eagles to the Super Bowl championship. Maaddi also stated that Pederson’s departure doesn’t guarantee that Wentz will stay put.</p><p>In the aftermath of Pederson’s firing, reports have surfaced about how Wentz has become uncoachable. The Eagles are reportedly hoping that whoever replaces Pederson on the sidelines can “fix” the North Carolina native.</p><p>Apart from that, the Eagles also have a tricky situation with their quarterback. The team drafted Jalen Hurts in the second round of last year’s draft, eventually showing some promise when he started three games in his debut campaign. Philadelphia will certainly have a tough decision to make in terms of the direction they want to head to.</p><p>Wentz is undoubtedly still their guy if they want to return to the glory they experienced four years ago. If they want to press the reset button, they might as well just roll the dice with the 22-year old Hurts.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Choosing Wentz could lead to a plethora of salary-cap casualties. Choosing Hurts can put the pressure of winning on a quarterback who may not be ready to be the face of the franchise. Either way, choosing the wrong quarterback will immediately cause the locker room to quickly lose faith in their new head coach. </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Despite delivering the franchises’ only Super Bowl victory in 2018, Pederson had presided over a squad that had gradually regressed on offense.</p><p>While the Eagles carried the <a href="https://www.teamrankings.com/nfl/stat/points-per-game?date=2018-02-05">top-scoring unit</a> during their run to the Lombardi Trophy, Philadelphia failed to rank above 15th in the same metric over the following three seasons. To make matters worse, quarterback Carson Wentz, the presumptive cornerstone of the franchise, has seen his stock fall to the point where he was eventually benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts. With Wentz having <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-rumors-carson-wentz-interested-in-trade-to-colts-as-relationship-with-philly-fractures/">demanded a trade</a> due to a fracturing of the relationship between him and Pederson, the move to oust the head coach does open the possibility that the quarterback could remain with the team.</p><p>Though Pederson is not totally to blame for the Eagles’ collapse over the past three seasons, his recent checkered history in leading offenses will likely draw scrutiny should he ultimately get the Seattle job.

One pick later, the Minnesota Vikings selected Justin Jefferson, fresh off winning a national title for a historically good LSU squad.</p><p>As a rookie, Jefferson posted 88 receptions for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns, earning Pro Bowl honors. Reagor had 31 receptions in 11 games in 2020 and scored one TD.</p><p>Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie fired Pederson on Monday, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-rumors-the-true-reason-for-the-doug-pederson-philadelphia-breakup/">citing disagreements</a> over personnel decisions and the future direction of the franchise. In parting ways with Pederson, Lurie essentially sided with general manager Howie Roseman, who repeatedly clashed with the former head coach.</p><p>Albright added that the organization did not initially intend on letting Pederson go, but after-season meetings revealed friction between the coach and front office.</p><blockquote>“The Eagles weren’t necessarily going into that meeting looking to fire Doug,” Albright reported. “I can tell you that after the conversation that they had it became apparent that not everybody was on the same page. Doug Pederson felt like he wasn’t really allowed to coach in the way that he wanted to coach. He felt dictated to by ownership and the front office. He felt like he wasn’t really able to do what it is that he wanted and needed to do as a coach and have the autonomy as a head coach that he needed to have.”</blockquote><p>In five years with the Eagles, Pederson compiled a 42-37 regular-season record and oversaw the team’s stellar Super Bowl run in 2017-18. Philadelphia went 4-11-1 this past season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Those misses proved to be costly as the Saints suffered a narrow 24-21 victory in the game.</p><p>In the event that Lutz’s woes continue, the Saints opted to sign free agent kicker Blair Walsh to the team’s practice squad. The Georgia product made it to the Pro Bowl in just his rookie season with the Minnesota Vikings. Since then, he journeyed to play for the Seattle Seahawks and the Atlanta Falcons before landing with the Saints.</p><p>Back in August of 2019, the Eagles signed McCown after their quarterbacks went down with several injuries. He eventually went on to see action under center but tore his hamstring in the Wild Card round of the 2019 NFL Playoffs.</p><p>McCown still wanted to continue his playing career at age 41 and was eventually signed by the Eagles once again in September of 2020 to be a quarterback on their practice squad. A couple of months later, he was then signed by the Houston Texans.</p><p>Sean Payton is hoping that the signing will pay dividends as the Saints head into a tough matchup against the Buccaneers on Jan. 17.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The fact that Doug Pederson was able to find any kind of success at all while being held in check by Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffery Lurie for five years is a bigger surprise when you really look at it:</p><blockquote><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/locked-on-eagles-daily-podcast-on-the-philadelphia-eagles/id1139903017">DiBiase</a>: He wanted a recycled coach that was already previously fired by the Eagles, Cory Undlin, the former defensive backs coach. Doug wanted to bring him back as the defensive coordinator. So, Doug’s plan was, I am not going to lie, pretty complacent. He wanted to promote from within. He wanted to stick with his guys. Preston Heeler, Cory Undlin, you know, those kinds of guys as his assistants, and Lurie was not happy. Lurie was going to give him a say, but it came with contingencies. It was not full power.Doug did not have full say, clearly, because Lurie was not buying into his plan. Lurie was hoping that he would come to him with outside hires, different names, bigger names to potentially fix this offense and defense. And Doug Pederson was not happy with that either. Lurie was not happy with Doug’s plan; Doug was not happy that he did not get a full say in his plan. Even Ian Rapoport reported that Doug Pederson was sick of being told what to do and that is really what it came down to, right, is that Doug had enough of having no control with anything within his organization. And you know what, good for Doug. This was unfair and you know what, the fact that Pederson has had as much success as he did in five years with this team considering the setup of failure that he was put into, he was set up to fail, the fact that he thrived in three of five seasons, is truly incredible.</blockquote><figure class="op-interactive"></figure><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

If you have ever watched a San Francisco 49ers game over the course of the last several seasons, you have probably noticed defensive coordinator Robert Saleh, who is almost never not amped up along the sideline. In addition to his extremely high level of football knowledge, especially on defense, Saleh’s presence could ultimately become the shot in the arm that the dismal Eagles need right now. It is just as important for this franchise to find a head coach that will turn its locker room and culture around as it is to patrol the sideline.</p><h2><b><i>Arthur Smith, Tennessee Titans Offensive Coordinator</i></b></h2><p>The Tennessee Titans encountered immense success on the offensive side of the football in 2020-21. Despite an early exit from the postseason, the Titans won the team’s first division title in 12 years while producing a 2,000-yard rusher in All-Pro running back Derrick Henry. With head coach Mike Vrabel assisting mostly with the defense, the Titans’ offense was fully in the hands of second-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith. With Smith turning both the aforementioned Henry and quarterback Ryan Tannehill loose over the course of the last two seasons, it is possible that he can get pretty creative with quarterback Jalen Hurts, running back Miles Sanders and the other offensive weapons employed by the Eagles. It is also worth noting that Smith has previous experience with complicated quarterback situations as well with the Titans trotting out both Tannehill and current Las Vegas Raiders signal caller Marcus Mariota in 2019-20. Of course, the Eagles presently have Hurts and disgruntled quarterback Carson Wentz at its disposal.</p><h2><b><i>Eric Bieniemy, Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator</i></b></h2><p>For whatever reason, according to multiple reports from throughout the week, teams seem to be passing up on the opportunity to potentially hire current Kansas City Chiefs offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy for the second consecutive offseason. Entering this cycle of head coaches as one of the top candidates on the market, or so it was initially believed, perhaps the Eagles can once again get lucky by making a hire from under the Andy Reid umbrella. The Eagles are in desperate need of someone to recalibrate the team’s offensive attack — and fast — as things are getting out of hand quickly in the “City of Brotherly Love.” At this point, there is no doubting Bieniemy as the Chiefs remain in line for back-to-back Super Bowl titles as the team’s offense continues to serve as its backbone — and then some.</p><h2><i><b>Marvin Lewis, Former Cincinnati Bengals Head Coach</b></i></h2><p>The situation with the Philadelphia Eagles doesn’t really seem all that stable. If the Eagles are looking to right the ship in a hurry, which appears to be the case, the struggling NFC East franchise must look toward a head coach with NFL experience, who can come in and hit the ground running. With former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis currently interviewing and back in the mix for a NFL job, perhaps this is the least risky move to make for the Eagles. Although Lewis did not find much postseason success during his time in Cincinnati, the longtime NFL head coach did lead his team to the postseason on a frequent basis in addition to overseeing a professional locker room setting.</p><h2><b><i>Jason Garrett, New York Giants Offensive Coordinator &amp; Former Dallas Cowboys Head Coach</i></b></h2><p>This is probably a very unlikely scenario but are we not allowed to have some fun? After serving as the Dallas Cowboys head coach for what seemed like forever before finally parting ways with the once heralded NFC East franchise following the 2019-20 campaign, Jason Garrett then served as the New York Giants offensive coordinator in 2020-21. With Garrett experiencing at least some success in New York despite not really being dealt the best hand, Garrett is once again landing head coaching interviewing early on in the offseason this time around. Why not keep the NFC East carousel rolling by becoming the head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles next?</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

While people discuss who the team could hire, betting odds on Philadelphia’s head coach vacancy <a href="https://www.betonline.ag/sportsbook/futures-and-props/nfl-regular-season">have been revealed</a>.</p><p>At the top of the list are Eric Bieniemy and Mike Kafka, who are both listed as +400 odds to become the next head coach of the Eagles. Bieniemy has been a popular name as a head coach candidate in the past two years due to being the sidekick to Andy Reid on the Kansas City Chiefs.</p><p>While Bieniemy has a hand in putting together the offense for the Chiefs, Kafka’s name comes as a bit of a surprise. Kafka played with the Eagles during his playing career and is now the quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator of Kansas City under Reid.</p><p>Behind Bieniemy and Kafka, Brian Daboll is given +450 odds to be hired by the Eagles, while Arthur Smith is at +500 odds. Daboll has been credited with helping the maturation process of Josh Allen on the Buffalo Bills as their offensive coordinator, and Smith has turned the Tennessee Titans into an offensive juggernaut as the offensive coordinator.</p><p>Another interesting name that comes near the top of the list is Lincoln Riley—the offensive-minded head coach at Oklahoma. The decision to fire Pederson likely comes as a result of the front office wanting to stick with Carson Wentz, which would be the main talking point for the next head coach.</p><p>Riley has turned Baker Mayfield, Kyler Murray, and Jalen Hurts into early draft picks at Oklahoma. However, there’s no doubt that some coaches could be hesitant to accept the job with the Eagles due to the cap situation and quarterback situation.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The Eagles had a number of injuries both in the trenches and at the skill positions, with the latter being especially damning considering Roseman hardly chose to spend at all in free agency.</p><p>The result was a season in which Wentz averaged just 6.0 yards gained per pass attempt, threw 15 interceptions and was sacked 50 times in just 12 games. He was benched in favor of rookie Jalen Hurts, who showed flashes during his time under center. Philly ultimately finished the season 4-11-1.</p><p>There is still reason to believe Wentz can rediscover his old form. After all, he is just one year removed from leading a depleted Eagles team to a 9-7 record and a playoff appearance.</p><p>However, if the Eagles are indeed going in this direction, it is now Roseman who could be on the hot seat as he bears the responsibility of making significant offensive upgrades. This is a huge offseason for the future of the franchise.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

This decision led to outrage both inside and outside of the organization. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-rumors-doug-pederson-in-danger-of-getting-fired-after-all/" rel="noopener">There were rumblings over the weekend</a> that Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie was leaning toward firing Pederson, and now the decision has been made.</p><p>Philly hired Doug Pederson in 2016 to replace Chip Kelly. The Eagles went 7-9 in Pederson’s first season and then went 13-3 behind Carson Wentz and Nick Foles in Year 2. Foles took over for Wentz after the latter tore his ACL and went on a magical Super Bowl run.</p><p>However, the franchise wasn’t able to follow up the Super Bowl victory with sustained success at a high level. The Eagles went 9-7 each of the next two seasons. While that was enough to earn playoff berths, Philly lost to the New Orleans Saints in the Divisional Round and then the Seattle Seahawks in the Wild Card Round.</p><p>The Eagles were then a disaster this season, thanks in large part to Wentz’s massive regression. Pederson stuck with Wentz for as long as he could, but he couldn’t help but turn to the rookie in Hurts when things didn’t turn around.</p><p>Doug Pederson will now likely be a candidate for the New York Jets’ open coaching position, <a href="https://twitter.com/RapSheet/status/1348708796957392897" rel="noopener">while Philly reportedly could look</a> at Kansas City Chiefs quarterback coach Mike Kafka.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Philadelphia has been a mess throughout the season, and Pederson’s head-scratching coaching decision late in their Week 17 match-up pretty much summed up their campaign.</p><p>With that, it wouldn’t be surprising to see the Eagles make changes this off-season. According to <a href="https://twitter.com/mortreport/status/1348296697802338305">Chris Mortensen of ESPN</a>, Pederson may find himself on the way out if team owner Jeffrey Lurie doesn’t see eye to eye with the 52-year old’s vision moving forward.

However, Pederson fielded in third-string QB Nate Sudfield in favor of Jalen Hurts to close out the game, which got NFL Twitter talking and a lot of people around the league up in arms.</p><p>Even his own players questioned their coach’s decision to sub out his starting quarterback in a winnable game. Pederson stressed that he was coaching to win and also wanted to give Sudfield some run before the season ended.</p><p>Nonetheless, this probably isn’t going to be the main reason why the Eagles will let go of 5th year coach. Of course, their regression this season could be the primary factor for Philadelphia heading into a different direction.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

He admitted to being surprised by the move at the time but said he was aware heading into the game that the long-time backup could see his first action of the season.</p><blockquote>“At the end of the third quarter, I was told on the bench that Sudfeld was going in the game,” Kelce said. “I went up to Doug and asked him if he was taking Hurts out, he said ‘Yes, I think Nate’s earned the right to play,’ I said ‘Everyone else is staying in?,’ he said ‘Absolutely.’”</blockquote><p>Kelce said he then went to find Sudfeld and worked out the cadence with the offensive line.</p><p>The veteran center also pushed back on reports of immediate <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-philly-outraged-after-doug-pederson-swapped-jalen-hurts-nate-sudfeld/">backlash</a> from Eagles players along the sideline.</p><blockquote>“At no point was anything from me or anyone else confrontational. We all knew leading into the game that Sudfeld was told to be ready to play, and that Doug wanted to see what he could do in a game situation. All of us during the week leading up were excited for Nate, a guy that has been with us for four years to get an opportunity in a real game to show the world what he can do.”</blockquote><p>Kelce admitted that despite the bad “optics”, he and his teammates were happy for Sudfeld and confident in his abilities.</p><blockquote>“I know we can win games with Nate, because I know Suddy can play,” Kelce said. “It didn’t work out Sunday but as always, that’s not just on him.”</blockquote><p>You can read his full statement here, via Kimberley Martin of ESPN.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Jason Kelce finally speaks on the Doug Pederson/Nate Sudfeld/Jalen Hurts situation vs Giants… <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/eagles?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw" target="_blank">#eagles</a> <a href="https://t.co/rziaVqVtc1" target="_blank">pic.twitter.com/rziaVqVtc1</a></p><p>— Kimberley A.

That said, it appears Wentz is “hopeful” the relationship with the Eagles will not end in a “divorce.”</p><p>According to Maadi, Wentz has yet to speak with team personnel regarding his future:</p><blockquote>Wentz also hasn’t discussed his future with team officials yet, according to the person who spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because it’s a private matter. The person said those conversations will take place when the time is right.Wentz’s relationship with the organization is strained, according to another person close to the situation. It’ll take both sides coming together to make it work.</blockquote><p>Eagles general manager Howie Roseman said Monday the team is not presently considering trading Wentz, whom he labeled “immensely talented.”</p><p>There are a few things at play when it comes to Wentz and the Eagles.</p><p>For starters, the team has ample cap space this offseason. Roseman can be more aggressive in looking to add in the trenches and on the offensive line to surround Wentz with more talent. Additionally, there is no guarantee Philly feels Jalen Hurts did enough to make the organization feel comfortable he is the franchise quarterback of the future.</p><p>Wentz could be in demand if he restructures his deal. But there is a chance both sides hash things out and look to put a rough 2020 behind them.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Multiple defensive players reportedly had to be restrained from going at Pederson, and Jason Kelce and another offensive starter inquired about the move.</p><p>Now, there is confirmation from an Eagles player.</p><p>Eagles running back Miles Sanders appeared on 94WIP Tuesday, revealing “nobody” liked Pederson’s decision to pull Hurts in favor of Nate Sudfeld:</p><blockquote>“Man if I’m being honest, nobody liked the decision, nobody,” Sanders said, via Eagles insider <a href="https://twitter.com/JFMcMullen/status/1346509893457621000">John McMullen</a>. “That’s all I can say really. I don’t know who was the main person behind that decision. All I know is that a lot of people on the team was confused.”</blockquote><p>Pederson attempted to suggest after the game the Eagles felt Sudfeld deserved reps. But it was curious timing for a career backup to get meaningful snaps.</p><p>Obviously, there were other implications behind the decision: The NFC East title was on the line, and there was also the matter of the Eagles’ draft position.</p><p>Washington needed a win to secure the division crown. A loss would have meant the New York Giants were NFC East champions after the G-Men defeated the Dallas Cowboys earlier in the day.</p><p>Philly more than had its opportunity to push Washington to the limit and win the game. It appears everyone on the roster was intent on doing just that. Only, nobody told Pederson.</p><p>The Eagles effectively mailed it in to finish with a 4-11-1 record and the sixth pick in the 2021 NFL Draft. The decision is likely to be discussed for weeks to come, and it might also have an impact on the team’s internal dynamic going forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The move outraged Eagles players and coaches who were blindsided by the decision, resulting in several confrontations.</p><p>According to Jeff McLane of <a href="https://www.inquirer.com/eagles/doug-pederson-eagles-tank-jason-kelce-jalen-hurts-nate-sudfeld-joe-judge-20210104.html">The Philadelphia Inquirer</a>, two defensive players had to be restrained from going after Pederson. Jason Kelce and another offensive starter asked Pederson why Hurts was pulled with the Eagles down just three points.</p><p>Hurts himself was upset with the move. While he apparently knew there was a chance Sudfeld could play, he didn’t understand why the swap was made in these circumstances, even though he was struggling. The rookie had two rushing touchdowns, but he only threw for 72 yards on 7-of-20 passing and an interception.</p><p>When asked about his reaction, Hurts said that he was only focused on winning the game:</p><blockquote>“As a competitor, I play to win,” he said. “You have to trust [Pederson’s plan].”</blockquote><p>Sudfeld wasn’t any better than Hurts, completing just 5-of-12 passes with an interception as the Eagles suffered a 20-14 loss to finish the season with a 4-11-1 record. Washington won the NFC East with the victory.</p><p>Pederson <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/eagles-news-the-reason-doug-pederson-made-controversial-switch-from-jalen-hurts-to-nate-sudfeld-vs-washington/" rel="noopener">defended the decision immediately after the game</a> and then doubled down on Monday, implying that Hurts’ struggles on the field led to the quarterback switch:</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
