Disagree with most of those takes. They were going to keep Pederson until he bombed his exit interview and refused to commit to making any changes to a team that needed drastic changes. He had to go at that point.
The Super Bowl run was primarily because the offense was the best in the league and Hurts playing at an MVP-level. Losing Steichen was a big blow to the team.
Gannon's vanilla-ass defense in 2022 was good against below-average QBs, but usually got lit up pretty badly when they faced anyone half-decent.
I agree on misjudging the age of the roster and not spending resources on LBs, but that's 100% on Howie, not Nick.
