He doesn’t, Wentz is just in his feelings right now because he’s mentally fragile and got benched for Jalen Hurts because Wentz was leading the league in turnovers and it was impossible to win with him the way he was playing.

Early rumors are that the Eagles top target for HC is Oklahoma HC Lincoln Riley

I wouldn’t necessarily believe that Wentz hates him. If he does, it’s because they drafted Hurts in the second round and then benched him.

In the realm of actual evidence, it seems like the real reason that Pederson left is because he didn’t want to follow directions anymore. Philly’s GM has the worst track record of drafting and legit zero prior football experience but somehow still calls the shots and he is untouchable.

He was an overachiever. I never thought he was that good to be honest.

If memory serves Pederson was not pushing for the Hurts pick. If Wentz is upset about the pick and the GM holds final say. Shouldn’t his gripe be with the organization and not the Coach.

Aside from that. The Eagles put Pederson and Wentz in a poor situation by drafting Hurts. Wentz poor play forced Pederson hand whether he wanted to bench Wentz or not. From that point the relationship is to fractured to repair.

I don’t see how the aeagles could bring Wentz back next year either.

Eagles have reached out to Lincoln Riley to guage his interest.

If true, Hurts seems to be the qb moving forward.

Eagles fans (speaking as one) are fine with this. Thankful for his first couple years but this is a smart move. He was pushing to promote from within for oc and just wouldn’t give up control or reimagine anything from an absolutely putrid offense. That’s a bigger mess waiting to happen.
