Doug Pederson fired by Eagles, Now candidate for Jets job?

 Could former Eagles coach Doug Pederson land with the New York Jets? 

There is a possibility, and according to multiple reports, its hard not to connect the dots and see it as a reality. Pederson worked closely with Jets General Manager Joe Douglas when the two were in Philadelphia, and Douglas has spoken glowingly about Pederson in the past. 

The Jets are in the midst of a head coaching search that has taken them to consider at least 9 known candidates including Eric Bienemy, Joe Brady, Brian Daboll, Arthur Smith, and Aaron Glenn. Douglas said he would cast a wide net, and he has done exactly that. 

However, the potential to reunite with a former colleague in Pederson who has a Super Bowl ring to his credit might be hard to pass up. That is if Douglas and the Jets can get answers as to why Pederson's tenure in Philadelphia ended in such acrimony. According to multiple reports coming out of the Philadelphia Inquirer, Pederson had a lot of issues with GM Howie Roseman over their vision for moving the franchise forward, and owner Jeffery Lurie decided to side with his GM. 

 

 It sounds none to similar to what happened to the Jets over a year and a half ago when Christopher Johnson fired GM Mike Maccagnan after a spat with then head coach Adam Gase. Are the Jets ready for this? Are the Johnson brothers? 

Fans are divided on the subject, with many not wanting any part of Pederson because of Carson Wentz's struggles the past two seasons, and the way Pederson handled a week 17 match-up with Washington where it looked like he tanked. Does Pederson want to answer questions about it his first day from the New York media? 

So many questions are left on the table and must be answered before the Jets move forward.
