Doug Pederson's Future with Jaguars in Doubt as Coaching Search Reportedly Begins

The Jacksonville Jaguars are rumored to be preparing for a coaching change after a disappointing 4-12 season, with Doug Pederson hinting this might be his last year.

Reports suggest the Jaguars have started laying the groundwork for a new head coach search, with Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson emerging as a potential candidate.
Doug Pederson acknowledged the 2024 season has been his toughest as a coach and hinted it could be his last, citing challenges with injuries and team performance.
The Jaguars have tied an NFL record with nine one-score losses this season and rank near the bottom of the league in both pass defense and total defense.
Owner Shad Khan, who had high playoff expectations for this roster, has not publicly commented on the future of Pederson or general manager Trent Baalke.
Ben Johnson has reportedly expressed interest in coaching the Jaguars, potentially pairing with Trevor Lawrence, but other teams, like the Bears, may also pursue him.
