Jaguars Fire Head Coach Doug Pederson

The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Doug Pederson following a disappointing 4-13 season, which culminated in a loss to the Indianapolis Colts. Pederson's tenure with the team lasted three seasons, ending with a record of 22-29, including 18 losses in the last 23 games. Team owner Shad Khan confirmed the decision, expressing hope for Pederson's future but indicating a need for new leadership. This season saw significant regression for the team, particularly for quarterback Trevor Lawrence, prompting questions about the direction of the franchise moving forward. Pederson's departure is part of a broader trend in the NFL as several coaches face job insecurity on 'Black Monday', with others like Antonio Pierce and Brian Daboll also at risk. The Jaguars now join the ranks of several teams actively searching for a new head coach as they prepare for the 2025 season.
