Doug Pederson was fired as head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after the team finished the 2024 season with a 4-13 record. He had been with the Jaguars since 2022, finishing with a 22-29 record. Before that, Pederson coached the Philadelphia Eagles from 2016 to 2020 and won the 2017 Super Bowl. His overall record as a head coach is 55-66. Liam Coen replaced him as Jaguars coach in January 2025. After leaving the team, Pederson and his wife, Jeannie, decided to sell their Jacksonville home.

They sold their house at 5227 Bentpine Cove in the gated Pablo Creek community for $1.9 million, the same price they paid for it in 2022. The buyer is Kathy Hamilton Plath of Jacksonville. It feels like a loss as Pederson had originally listed the home in April 2025 for $2.29 million, then lowered it to $2.2 million before selling.

The Spanish-style house was built in 2018 and sits on 0.34 acres next to a small man-made lake. It has 3,635 square feet, four bedrooms, four full bathrooms, and a half-bath. The home includes a wine cooler, a butler pantry, a guest suite, a saltwater pool, a summer kitchen, and a covered patio with a built-in barbecue.

The backyard is fenced and opens to the lake. The house was recently updated with new landscaping, travertine accents, and Juliet balconies. It is located near the Pablo Creek Club golf course and about 10 minutes from the beach. Even though he sold this home, Pederson still owns a larger house in Jupiter, Florida.

That home, purchased in 2020, sits on the Loxahatchee River, has 6,467 square feet, a private dock, and is now valued around $8.5 million.

The sale closes this chapter of Pederson’s life in Jacksonville as he looks ahead to his next move in football.

Doug Pederson still loves the Eagles

Pederson is open to returning to the team in an offensive consultant role. He led the Eagles from 2016 to 2020, achieving a regular-season record of 42–37–1 and a playoff record of 4–2. Pederson guided the Eagles to their first Super Bowl title in franchise history, defeating the New England Patriots 41–33 in Super Bowl LII. He also led the team to two NFC Championship games in 2017 and 2019. His innovative offensive strategies, ability to develop young quarterbacks, and focus on strong team culture defined his tenure.

In the 2025 NFL season, the Eagles are facing challenges on multiple fronts. Through six games, the team holds a 4–2 record, but its performance has been inconsistent. In Week 6, they lost 34–17 to the New York Giants, exposing issues in both offense and defense. Quarterback Jalen Hurts threw his first interception in 305 passes, showing cracks in decision-making under pressure.

The team also struggled with missed tackles, weak special teams play, and lapses in energy and focus. The offense has failed to consistently move the ball, while defensive breakdowns have allowed opponents to score too easily. Doug Pederson’s experience and past success with the Eagles make him an ideal candidate to help address these problems. He knows the organization, understands the players, and has a proven record of building winning teams.

His leadership in high-pressure playoff games, including guiding the team to a 41–33 Super Bowl victory, shows his ability to prepare teams for enormous challenges. Given the Eagles’ current struggles in 2025, bringing Pederson back could provide much-needed guidance.

He could help the team fix offensive mistakes, develop younger players, and restore the energy and confidence that led to their Super Bowl win. Philadelphia may see Pederson’s return as a key move to stabilize the season and get back on track toward playoff success.
