The Eagles have made their decision.

But their choice to be head coach is still kind of busy.

According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, the Eagles have picked Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson to be their head coach.

Pederson’s still coaching in the playoffs of course, but the Eagles declared they had wrapped up their interviews. While not confirming Bowen’s report, they put out a statement saying: “We have concluded our search for a head coach. No further interviews are scheduled.”

Pederson provides a link back to Andy Reid, who’s looking better and better after the Chip Kelly experiment went awry. Pederson played for the Eagles and began his coaching career there, before following Reid to Kansas City.
