Doug Pederson is Between a Rock and Hard Place

Doug Pederson seems like a nice, smart and humble guy. But he has a really tough job this year, and he’s in a bad situation.

The hunger for a Super Bowl in Philadelphia is intense, and he has enough going for him — a talented roster, free-spending owner and a division full of patsies -- that “give me a few years figure out how to steer this thing” is not going to cut it.

Being an ex-NFL player with a gift for getting along with people is great — Chip Kelly could really have used either of those things.
