"I'm forever grateful to Doug for that entire team, and to see so quickly it go downhill like that is disturbing," McDonald added.
On game day, Paul Karcsh says his Bayou Bar and Grill in Manayunk looks a lot different than it does now -- it's alive. He says a lot of the good times the last few years are thanks to the culture Pederson created.
"He's done a great job here. He won the Super Bowl for the first time here in Philadelphia," said Karcsh.

While there's a lot of speculation on what happened, some say the man who brought this city its first Super Bowl title shouldn't have gotten the boot.

Many we spoke with believe something between Pederson and upper management deteriorated quickly, especially at the end of the year.
Carmen Cipriano of Downingtown said, "I think it was poor relationships with the team. Over the years, things went south."
