The Jaguars announced Thursday night that they will hire former Eagles coach Doug Pederson as their new head coach.
Pedersen did not have a football-related job for the 2021 season, but he was the first coach the Jaguars interviewed for.

In five seasons with the Hawks, Pederson led the team to a 42-37-1 record, making the playoffs three times and winning the Super Bowl once. The Hawks have only won four in 2020, and Pederson was fired after the season.
Pederson previously played a decade in the NFL, mostly as a backup quarterback. He began his coaching career in 2009, studying under Chiefs coach Andy Reid. Pederson’s previous Jaguars coach Urban Meyer had a poor record, leading the team to only 2 wins, and was also exposed to various off-field problems.
The Jaguars have only had a winning season since 2007, often losing at least 10 games. The Jaguars have a record of 3-14 this season, and once again won the No. 1 pick in the bag.
