A former Eagles scout:

I am very excited for Doug Pederson to get his shot at #Eagles HC. Great person to be around. Fascinated to see the staff he puts together.

@JinxSavage He was a fantastic football mind to be around in Philly. Also a tremendous human being. Players gravitate to him.

I'd pay $ to see Brett Favre as OC in Philly

Aight then now let's all pretend to be excited about Doug Pederson!

Not thrilled w/Pederson. Even less thrilled w/the #Eagles FO. But at least we didn't hire Pat Shurmur. And at least its finally over.

Pederson will bring the west coast offense back to Philly. Inherited from Reid, who inherited it from Holmgren, who inherited it from Walsh.

B/w them, Eagles president Don Smolenski, EVP Howie Roseman and coach Doug Pederson spent 36 years working with Andy Reid.

I have no take. I wish it was someone more exciting but it is what it is. Hope it works.

It's becoming apparent that people who've worked with Pederson enjoyed him. Could be why Lurie targeted him initially.

Hoping Kansas City makes it to the Super Bowl so we draw this out as loooooong as possible because we deserve pain.

Nice job by @LesBowen on the Pederson scoop. A new era about to begin in Philly. Lots of pressure on Jeff/Howie to be right.

Pederson viewed as a top candidate at start of search. Eagles make push to hire McAdoo and Coughlin after interview with Pederson. Telling.

Happy for Doug! He is a very good guy!
