The Jacksonville Jaguars have parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson after three seasons, concluding his tenure with a 22-29 record. Pederson's first year was a resounding success, guiding the Jaguars to their first winning season since 2017 with a playoff appearance, culminating in a memorable Wild Card victory over the Los Angeles Chargers.

Despite these achievements, the 2023 season spiraled downward after a promising 8-3 start, hindered by injuries to key players such as Trevor Lawrence and Christian Kirk. The team subsequently went 1-5, resulting in a playoff miss and leading owner Shad Khan to demand better performance for the upcoming season. Ultimately, the Jaguars were unable to meet expectations, prompting a fresh start for the franchise.
