I think we gonna need someone unbiased to say whether Pederson was able to choose his own coaching staff or not.

It sounds like he was allowed to pick the way Tomlin was allowed to pick Ariens, then Haley, then Fichtner. Given a slim list and told to pick from that.

Pederson's suggestions for the coordinator positions were leaked, and a few hours later he was fired.
The leak has to be from someone on Lurie's side, because all they did was Pederson look bad. OC: Taylor, DC: Burke or Undlin. I actually expected Taylor and Undlin even before the leak. If you compare Undlin and Gannon, Undlin has the much better track record as a DBs coach, having helped develop the Broncos secondary that eventually won a SB. But apparently one is a fireable offense and the other is a good hire.
What really happened between Pederson's suggestions and his firing is anyone's guess. I assume he stuck to his guns and that's why he was fired. Lurie fired Groh just the year before after Pederson said in a press conference that Groh would be back as OC.

Duce Staley leaves to join the Lions staff.
Shane Steichen to becomes Eagles OC.
Looking at his resume, he's like a copy of Press Taylor.![]()
The head coach is by far the most qualified in hiring coordinators. Not the owner, the GM, players or fans. Either this is respected or not.
My outsider/don’t really follow them perspective is Lurie wants “control” over what’s going on. So if the assistants are “loyal” to the HC because they were the HCs guy then Lurie would have less “control” over his team.
Although I do wonder how much is purely Lurie and how much is Lurie being a mouthpiece for Roseman.

Every hire has been a nick sirianni guy so far so I wouldn’t say this has been proven yet
I don’t know what happened with Doug. Listening to eagles reporters Doug didn’t really have a list in 2016 because he only worked with Andy
So the eagles had to kinda give him names to approve.
Even listening to them talk about Andy, Andy didn’t have names but he found people to put together.
It’s all hearsay
I’d say I’m pretty surprised at how every sirianni hire has been one of his guys. I wasn’t expecting that at all
