Have spent many hours talking ball w/Doug & having him teach me QB play/evaluate college & pro QB’s. IF given what he needs, he’ll succeed. — Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) January 14, 2016

Happy for Doug! He is a very good guy! — Brian Westbrook (@36westbrook) January 14, 2016

@JinxSavage He was a fantastic football mind to be around in Philly. Also a tremendous human being. Players gravitate to him. — Dan Hatman (@Dan_Hatman) June 6, 2015

Can’t imagine anyone not getting along with Doug Pederson. Fits part of criteria that Eagles set out at start of search. #Eagles — Andrew Brandt (@AndrewBrandt) January 14, 2016

Congrats to the Pederson family for becoming the Head Coach of the @Eagles . Welcome back Doug and good luck. — Donovan McNabb (@donovanjmcnabb) January 15, 2016

Neither Quick hires nor enormous amounts of Fan fair are prerequisites for eventual success… Just a thought! — Brian Dawkins (@BrianDawkins) January 14, 2016

Do you like the Eagles expected hiring of Kansas City Chiefs Offensive Coordinator Doug Pederson? — Birds 24/7 (@Birds247) January 15, 2016

Very similar to situation between Falcons and Dan Quinn a year ago. Pederson’s strong ties to Andy Reid always made him a strong candidate — Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) January 14, 2016
