The Jacksonville Jaguars are turning to a Super Bowl winner to replace Urban Meyer.
The team hired former Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson as its next head coach, the team announced Thursday night.
In many ways, the Jaguars have picked a coach with basically the opposite resume of Meyer, whose disastrous 13-game tenure left the team embarrassed on and off the field. While Meyer took over as Jaguars head coach with no NFL experience whatsoever, Pederson is a former NFL quarterback who worked six seasons as an NFL assistant under Andy Reid before his first head coaching job with the Eagles.
