Buddy is my all time favorite coach. I think even Havas will admit he wasn't a great HC. He was a great DC, but just a good HC. What he represents is why he's so loved in the city. Hard hitting, shtein talking, attitude D that just put a hurt on people. Buddy was a rebel as a coach, rebelled against the league, his owner, and other coaches. He just didn't give a farg. That's why we love him.

I feel like this shouldn't have to be explained to people who are old enough to remember it, but here we are.

I wonder if there's a young generation of Eagles fans right now who, in like 30 years, are going to hold Doug Pederson in the same regard as IGY holds Buddy.

I don't think he was even a "good" head coach. Yeah, I loved his attitude but what do you think a coach like Billik, or Big Tuna woulda' done with that squad? Pro Bowlers everywhere and a few future HOF'rs.

The question is why does Igy feel Pederson is "awful". Nobody has to 'splain' anything about Buddy to me.

Exactly, with almost the same team Buddy couldn't do it with.

I admit I wanted no parts of Pederson when he was hired. that said he's part of the reason this team is where it is right now.
If guns kill people then spoons made Rosie O'Donnel a fatass.

At this point, I think he's just being stubborn.  He dug in real deep on the anti-doug thing from the get go.  And there was a lot of things that happened last year that supported it, but outside of a few questionable decisions against KC and the 1st NYG game, Doug has been really damn good this year.

IGY can be about as stubborn as an elephant sometimes though.

Even Kotite had a better win % than Buddy, and no one is calling him a good coach, ever.

Don't know about that. He turned late round/undrafted players/picks like Joyner/B&E/Simmons/Waters etc. into Pro Bowlers. His problem was more so than any coach in history he just didn't give a flying farg about offense. He took a crap team and won the East which was an absolute power house of a division.

The Eagles were 5 adequate players short of being legit contenders under Buddy.  LT, LG, C, RG, RT.
