Eagles Head Coach Andy Reid shuffled his coaching staff this week moving Rory Segrest from special teams to defensive line, bringing back Ted Daisher to coach special teams and hiring former quarterback Doug Pederson as their offensive quality coach.

"Ted broke into the league with us, so I have had the chance to see him coach," said Reid. "Then he moved on and had success in Oakland and for the last couple of years in Cleveland. I had the chance to interview a few guys, and Ted did a great job. Ted became the obvious choice to fill this role."

Reid also had god things to say about Rory Sergrest's promotion.

"Rory did a nice job with special teams, but his first love is the defensive line," said Reid. "When he came here, he was also the assistant defensive line coach, so he continued to work with the defensive line even when he was the special teams coordinator."

Doug Pederson spent 12 NFL seasons working as a back-up. With the Eagles in 1999, he was instrumental in grooming Donovan McNabb for the starting job. Pederson threw for 1,276 yards and seven touchdowns in 1999 before giving way to Donovan.

"He has a great ability to share ideas with people," said Reid of Pederson. "I thought Doug did a tremendous job working with Donovan McNabb when Donovan was a rookie learning the system. Doug helped explain the offense to him from a player's standpoint."

Philadelphia also announced the retirement of defensive line coach Pete Jenkins. The 67 year old Jenkins retired following a 39-year college and pro coaching career.

"Pete had three phenomenal years here," Reid said. "He is leaving here with a better defensive line than was here when he arrived, and that is always a tribute to the coach."
