The Philadelphia Eagles have dismissed head coach Doug Pederson on Monday, a move that few could have seen coming just a short time ago after he guided the long-suffering franchise to a Super Bowl win in 2018.

The Eagles had a disappointing 2020 season that saw them finish with a 4-11-1 record and miss the playoffs for the first time since the 2016 season, Pederson’s first with the franchise.

A perceived feud with quarterback Carson Wentz, a lack of consistency on the offensive line, and a general lack of organization were a few of the factors that brought the team’s season down and ultimately ended with its head coach being let go.

After a magical 2017 season that ended in a Super Bowl win, Pederson’s 2018 and 2019 Eagles scraped into the playoffs with a 9-7 record each year, leading some fans and some within the organization to place Pederson on the hot seat going into this season.

It ended up being the final straw for a franchise that has seen a team that once looked like it could have been setting up to be a perennial powerhouse.

The Eagles are expected to embark upon the search for a new coach immediately in the hopes of moving back towards contention.

The Carolina Panthers dismissed veteran head coach Ron Rivera on Tuesday after a disappointing 2019 campaign left the franchise with no choice but to move on.

Rivera, who became the fourth coach in the history of the young franchise in 2011, ultimately could not survive the disappointing 5-7 start to the season that his team has faced.

The 57-year-old coach will finish his tenure with Carolina with a 76-63-1 regular season record. He accomplished three winning seasons during his nine seasons in Carolina, winning three division titles and qualifying for the playoffs as a wild card team once.

Rivera’s best season as a coach was in 2015, when his juggernaut team led by a stingy defense and MVP quarterback Cam Newton stormed to a 15-1 regular season record. They ended up reaching the Super Bowl, where they lost to the Denver Broncos.

The former Bears and Chargers defensive coordinator finishes his head coaching tenure with the Panthers with a 3-4 playoff record.

Secondary coach Perry Fewell has been named the interim head coach for the Panthers, whose search for a new permanent head coach will begin immediately.

Rivera will likely have opportunities to find a new job as either a head coach or a defensive coordinator in the near future.
