The Jacksonville Jaguars have parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson following a disappointing 4-13 season, marking a significant shift in the team's direction. Owner Shad Khan expressed his commitment to the team's future, indicating the need for new leadership to better serve their dedicated fanbase. Pederson, who had a rocky three-year tenure, finished with a 22-29 record and led the team to the playoffs just last year.

Despite initial promises of progress and expectations for a better season in 2024, the Jaguars struggled significantly, setting an NFL record with ten one-score losses. Khan cited the need for restoration of a winning environment, emphasizing his collaboration with General Manager Trent Baalke in the search for a new head coach.
