Jaguars Seek New Head Coach Amid Rebuilding Efforts

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in the midst of searching for a new head coach after parting ways with Doug Pederson following a disappointing 4-13 season. Owner Shad Khan has conducted six initial interviews with candidates, including notable names such as Ben Johnson and Brian Flores, and is expected to consider even more prospects as the playoffs conclude. There is optimism surrounding the Jaguars' job due to the presence of franchise quarterback Trevor Lawrence and a favorable salary cap situation. NFL insider Dan Graziano predicts that Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady may emerge as the frontrunner for the position. Lawrence expressed a desire for a coach who can restore toughness to the team while emphasizing that he does not want to overstep his role in the hiring process. The Jaguars' search is seen as crucial for establishing a long-term direction for the franchise.
