Jacksonville: The Jaguars have decided to let go of coach Doug Pederson after a tough season. It’s been a wild ride since he took over, especially after the Urban Meyer fiasco.
Pederson came in with a Super Bowl win under his belt, but things just didn’t click in Jacksonville. The team finished with a disappointing 4-13 record, including a brutal 52-6 loss to the Lions, which was the worst in their history.
Despite some early promise, the season spiraled out of control. Pederson had to fire his defensive coordinator after a rough season last year, and now he’s the one paying the price.
Fans were wondering if GM Trent Baalke would also be shown the door, but he’s sticking around. The Jaguars had a rough start this season, and it was clear that Pederson was in trouble early on.
Trevor Lawrence, the young quarterback, signed a big contract but couldn’t find his rhythm. Injuries didn’t help either, and the team just couldn’t get it together.
Now, the Jaguars are looking for a new head coach who can help Lawrence reach his potential. It’s a big job, especially with the 5th pick in the upcoming draft. The new coach will need to focus on building a strong team around Lawrence.
Fans are hoping for a fresh start and someone who can bring excitement back to Jacksonville. It’s been a tough few years, and they’re ready for some wins.
