Big news breaks in for Jacksonville Jaguars fans. After the untimely firing of HC Urban Meyer, the reports say that they have their sights set on Doug Pederson. It could be huge for Jacksonville. The team has fallen down a rabbit hole this season. If someone can turn it around, it is a former Super Bowl winner.

Jacksonville is in desperate need of a change. The fans blame their downfall on the former head coach, Urban Meyer. The Jaguars hope they can fix things in the next season. According to the reports, the interview of Doug Pederson will take place on Thursday.

The downfall of the Jacksonville Jaguars

The Jacksonville Jaguars are having one of the worst seasons this year. They are at the bottom of the AFC South division with only two wins. They are on a seven-game losing streak. The last time they won a game was in Week 9. 

The Jaguars parted ways with Urban Meyer after only 13 games. Meyers was not fit to coach a team at the level of the NFL. The fans and officials were not pleased with his performance at all. Firing Meyer was the best thing they could have done for the team.  

Could Doug Pederson be a suitable HC for Jacksonville?

Doug Pederson had a very successful run with the Philadelphia Eagles. Before returning from football in 2004, Pederson played as a quarterback for 13 seasons. He played for NFL teams like the Green Bay Packers, Miami Dolphins, Philadelphia Eagles, and many more. He won the Super Bowl XXXL with the Packers.
