So an audio/video by Mike Lombardi, professional football hanger-on and current contributor to the Ringer, blasted the Eagles choice of Doug Pederson for head coach. Lombardi claims he did not have the training or temperament to be a head coach.

Lombardi then went on Philly radio and doubled down. He said Pederson wasn't even qualified to stand in front of the team and lead. The Philly.com article above notes that several people who work for the team believe these to be the sentiments of the ultra-successful former head coach and current Philly D coordinator Jim Schwartz. This is all after one season as HC.

Personally, I hope Schwartz falls down an open manhole and fails to emerge. But Jeffrey Lurie held an impromptu press conference where he managed to sign the praises of Howie Roseman (who was involved in many of the stuff hirings) and offer what looked like moderate backing to Pederson in comparison.

How does this affect the Packers? The Eagles won't be much of a threat anytime soon.
