Jaguars Hire Doug Pederson As Head Coach
3 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars hired former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson as their next head coach on Thursday night, according to a source. The move comes 49 days after the team fired Urban Meyer. Pederson was the first to interview for the position and spent 2021 out of football. In five seasons with the Eagles, he went 42-37-1 and made three playoff appearances, including a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LII. Jacksonville has had just one winning season since 2007 and have lost 10 or more games in 10 of the last 11 years after a 3-14 finish in 2021. They'll have the first overall pick in this year's draft, and their combined record in the last two seasons is a miserable 4-29, which includes a 20-game losing streak.
