PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Doug Pederson lost his job less than three years after he led the Philadelphia Eagles to the franchise’s only Super Bowl title.

Pederson was 42-37-1 in five seasons. He guided the Eagles to two division championships and three playoff appearances before going 4-11-1 in 2020.

Owner Jeffrey Lurie made the decision after meeting with Pederson last week and again Monday.

Pederson, a forrmer Kansas City assistant, had two years remaining on his contract. Lurie said he wouldn’t be surprised if another team hired Pederson before the end of the week.
