Former Eagles and current Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson talks about if he ever thought the famous Philly Special in Super Bowl LII wasn’t gonna work…
Doug did not call the play. Foles did. He wanted to run it and Doug agreed. Doug wanted to call the play against The Vikings and wanted to run it that day, but Foles said "no." They had a big lead and could save it for the Patriots. The play was not even on Doug's play sheet that day and Doug told Ref Gene Steratore pregame that he had no trick plays to be called against The Pats. Doug has a convenient lapse of memory. He should have given full credit to Nick Foles.
Doug will be beloved in Philly for all of eternity. If you've ever been to philly you know how big that is. We are tough people, tougher on coaches and players!
Here' s the truth from an Eagles' fan. In Super Bowl 52, Doug didn't call the play that day. It was not even on his play sheet that day. Nick Foles called it as Nick refused to run it two weeks earlier against Minnesota as the Eagles had a big lead and Foles told Doug to save it for The Super Bowl. Doug's trying to inflate himself with the story. In fact, if Carson Wentz had never gotten hurt and Nick Foles did not play that day, The Eagles would not have won that Super Bowl versus the Patriots.
To all the haters, Nick Foles SUGGESTED the play. It doesn't matter what the quarterback says in the Superbowl against the Patriots. It's the HC's call. Plenty of HC's would say no to that suggestion, and Doug Pederson was well aware that if the play DIDN'T work, he would take most of the heat just like he's taking most of the credit here.
Doug called the Perfect game that day. And not only did the Birds win the Superbowl, they did it against the Patriots. And not on a day when Brady was having a bad game, but a game where Brady was dealing. They earned that Chip and no one can ever take that away from them. Go Birds 🦅

Doug pederson > belichick
I hate that it's called Philly Special as if they invented it. My team ran that shit 30 years ago.
Doug will be a legend coach when it’s all set and done. Jaguar will win a superbowl.
What kinda pull do you have to get these interviews lol
Go browns!
You should wear a sign of what your wearing whenever you go to a game
Nick called that play….Doug just went with it.

Sure did
Well nick called it. He just agreed to it.
I can’t watch this without hearing that joke Jason Kelce told 😂😂😂
HE DIDNT CALL IT!! Big D Nick did 🤡
If he takes the Jags poverty franchise to the SB he is HOF
Borrowed from bears previous season oddly
Lol you said it’s the most confident thing you’ve ever seen from Pederson but it was Nick Foles’ idea

Why are people making these shorts in a way that they seamlessly repeat?
Should still be the eagles coach…
As a Pats fan that call was crazy good..i was speechless after they ran it.. perfect call
He didn’t call it .. Foles did .. watch the video . Pederson just agrees with Foles
Coulda swore nick foles basically called it

As an Eagles fan, I'm still mad that we let this guy go.
That’s not as confident as the saints onside kick to start the 2nd half
Foles actually called the play and Duggie P rolled with it.
Hell yeah Doug!
Dougie P is a legend, word to the statue outside the Linc
