Head Coach Doug Pederson Fired By The Jacksonville Jaguars
Last year there were a number of open head coaching positions. This year there hasn’t been as many coaches being let go. Both the New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts are retaining their current head coaches and general managers. However, that can’t be said for head coach Doug Pederson who was fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars this Monday morning. Although they are keeping their general manager, Trent Baalke. Below is the statement from Jaguars owner, Shad Khan.
“I had the difficult task this morning of informing Doug Pederson of my intention to hire a new head coach to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars. Doug is an accomplished football man who will undoubtedly enjoy another chapter in his impressive NFL career, and I will be rooting for Doug and his wife, Jeannie, when that occasion arrives. As much as Doug and I both wish his experience here in Jacksonville would have ended better, I have an obligation first and foremost to serve the best interests of our team and especially our fans, who faithfully support our team and are overdue to be rewarded. In that spirit, the time to summon new leadership is now.
I strongly believe it is possible next season to restore the winning environment we had here not long ago. I will collaborate with General Manager Trent Baalke and others, within and close to our organization, to hire a leader who shares my ambition and is ready to seize the extraordinary opportunity we will offer in Jacksonville.”
Currently there are five head coaching positions available. The New York Jets, the New Orleans Saints and the Chicago Bears released their head coaches during the 2024 regular season. Now the New England Patriots and Jacksonville Jaguars have added to the list.
Head Coach Doug Pederson Fired By The Jacksonville Jaguars
As pointed out by Adam Schefter: “The next Jaguars’ head coach will overtake a team with a QB in Trevor Lawrence, over $40M in projected cap space this offseason, and the No. 5 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft.” So the Jacksonville position could be attractive to a lot of potential candidates.
Seven years ago, Pederson led the Philadelphia Eagles to their only Super Bowl Championship. He was fired by the Eagles in 2020 and took a year off to spend time with his family. In 2022, he joined Jacksonville and was there for three seasons. He went 9-8 his first two seasons and won one playoff game his first year. But things regressed as he went 4-13 this season. Overall he compiled a 22-29 record, including 18 losses in the last 23 games.
Stay tuned for further coaching updates.
