Former Eagles HC Doug Pederson, Jaguars Reportedly Agree to Contract as New Coach

It didn't take Doug Pederson long to find a new job.

After being fired by the Philadelphia Eagles last offseason, the 54-year-old agreed to become the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Pederson had a 42-37-1 record in five seasons with the Eagles, reaching the postseason three times. Philadelphia won the only Super Bowl title in its history under his watch.

But his tenure came to a head in 2020 after a 4-11-1 season. His relationship with quarterback Carson Wentz seemingly soured after he benched him in favor of Jalen Hurts down the stretch, though the decision was also justified given Wentz's poor play.
