Doug Pederson was non-commital on prospects of Jim Schwartz returning as Eagles DC

Doug Pederson and Howie Roseman addressed the media on Wednesday, addressing several topics after the Eagles season-ending loss to the Seattle Seahawks.

One personnel decision to keep an eye on is Jim Schwartz remaining with the Eagles as defensive coordinator. Schwartz is currently interviewing with the Cleveland Browns, but Doug Pederson was non-committal on whether or not Schwartz would return as defensive coordinator.

Pederson said he would like to have all of his coaches back but couched it a few times by saying they’re “currently” on the staff. Wasn’t exactly iron-clad when asked about Jim Schwartz directly a few times. https://t.co/Xtnr0ttqjh

When asked about the coaches on his staff, Pederson was firm in establishing that both Mike Groh and Carson Walch would both be returning.

When asked about Schwartz, Pederson simply stated that he’s my defensive coordinator, while praising his ability to again be a head coach.

Don’t be shocked if Schwartz and Pederson mutually part ways in the coming weeks.
