They were, but it was mostly because they had a pretty easy schedule. He allowed over 70% completion rates to Dak and a few others. It was bad. They got luck that their road to the Super Bowl was Daniel Jones and then the Niners failing to protect Purdy.

Hadn't heard about Pederson's exit interview. What changes wouldn't he make? Roster would have been Howie so scheme? OC or DC? Memory is foggy on the DC back then.

Refused to consider making Hurts the starting QB, wouldn't consider firing the OC at the time (Mike Groh) or Press Taylor (QBs coach) despite the massive regression Wentz and the offense showed that year.

Still think he is a better coach than Sirianni.

I think him and Frank Reich constructed the perfect offense for Nick Foles to win a Super Bowl, and he deserves major credit for that. Outside of that season though, he's been a very average HC.
He has the ring, and until Sirianni gets one, you probably give the edge to Pederson. That said, Sirianni has a career win percentage of .643, which is good for #3 among active coaches. Pederson is 17th at .537. Pederson has 4 more years of experience over Nick, so TBD for now.
