The newer high efficiency engines are too big to fit under the wings. The engineers told them it wouldn't work. The original plan was to start working on designing a new plane, but they were afraid of losing business to neo so the engineers were told to make it work. In order to do this, they pushed the engines up and mostly in front of the wing which pushed CG forward and moved center of thrust. This lead to a plane that needs a much narrower flight envelope, i.e it doesn't want to fly in a lot of attitudes where a real 737 is fine.
