Mon Jan 06 13:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Jaguars Fire Head Coach Doug Pederson After Disappointing Season

**JACKSONVILLE, FL** – The Jacksonville Jaguars have parted ways with head coach Doug Pederson, owner Shad Khan announced Monday morning. The decision comes after a disappointing 2023 season that saw the team finish with a 4-13 record, a dramatic fall from their 9-8 campaign in 2022 which secured them the AFC South title and a playoff victory.

Pederson’s tenure began with a promising resurgence for the Jaguars, including an 8-3 start to the 2023 season. However, a late-season collapse, coupled with quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s injury-riddled and inconsistent performance, ultimately led to his dismissal. Lawrence, who is under contract until 2030, will be a key focus for the team’s next head coach.

Khan stated that he will collaborate with General Manager Trent Baalke to find a replacement, expressing his belief in the team’s ability to return to contention. The search for a new coach will undoubtedly prioritize getting Lawrence back on track.
