The Jacksonville Jaguars have announced the firing of head coach Doug Pederson after three seasons with the team. Jaguars owner Shad Khan expressed regret over the decision but emphasized the need for new leadership to serve the team's best interests. Despite Pederson's initial success, including an AFC South title and playoff appearance in his first season, the team struggled in subsequent seasons, leading to his dismissal.
General Manager Trent Baalke will remain with the organization and work closely with ownership to find a new head coach. Pederson's tenure ended with a 22-29 regular season record and a playoff record of 1-1.
