Wow.
“(Pederson) was ridiculed and criticized for every decision,” one source told The Athletic. “If you won by three, it wasn’t enough. If you lost on a last-second field goal, you’re the worst coach in history.”
“The fact that Doug had the success he did with all the shit going on in the building, sometimes I look at our Super Bowl rings, and I’m like, ‘Holy cow, I don’t know how we did it,'” one source said.
Sources say Pederson was beaten down by the constant second-guessing. “They treated him like a baby,” one said.
The article also says that Pederson was hired because he was the "coach of least resistance" and that Nick Sirianni was also hired as a coach who would have less pushback against Lurie and GM Howie Roseman.
“Building that coalition and leading that group to work together in a constructive way is not Howie’s strength,” one source said. “In fact, it’s one of his weaknesses.”
Those close to Roseman believe he was sincere in his effort to improve his interpersonal skills in the wake of his expulsion. He talks often about carrying with him the lessons from that time. But over the course of the past few years, as the team’s success waned, sources say some of Roseman’s worst instincts have returned.
“My best analogy of that would be when people lose weight and there’s the boomerang effect,” said one source. “They lose a lot of weight and then they gain it all back and then some. That’s how I would describe that.”
One source described Wentz as smarter than most of the coaches on staff, but that meant he wanted to control the game at the line of scrimmage with checks and audibles. His pre-snap orchestrations led to confusion among the other players and resulted in guys not being on the same page. Pederson struggled to find a balance between empowering Wentz and reining him in.

Sirriani might be a diamond in the rough and we have no idea how he will turn out, but they had a good thing with Pederson and the way they wanted to run the club and they just ruined it.
Those people should be banned and I have never called for a banning of any poster (nor am I seriously now but I mean you have to really question if they are Giants fans if they wanted the Eagles to win their first super bowl). I guess they never sat in the 700s of the Vet and had batteries thrown at them.
He loves the draft - watches some films - owns the team and wants to be involved.
Obviously the politics and weekly demeaning the coaching staff/HC in-game decisions is where it really goes off the rails.
Think about the other 3 owners in the NFC East....it's disgusting that the Giants have allowed themselves to fall behind these clowns.
lol. Love those unnamed sources. BULLSHIT!!
