The Jacksonville Jaguars' 2021 season was a bad one, with the mid-season firing of former manager Urban Mayer, and now they've finally found a replacement. On Friday, Beijing time, they announced that former Philadelphia Eagles Super Bowl champion coach Doug Pederson officially became the team's new manager.
Pederson led the Hawks all the way to triumph in the 2017 season and won the first championship trophy in team history by playing against the Patriots in the Super Bowl. He coached the Hawks in the 2016-2020 season, with a regular season record of 42 wins, 37 losses and 1 draw, and a playoff record of 4 wins and 2 losses. And their Super Bowl-winning season made bench quarterback Nick Fowles famous. But the Hawks have since gone with 9-7 for two consecutive seasons, until last season, with a record of 4 wins, 11 losses and 1 draw, left Pederson out of school and missed a season.
In 2009, Pederson joined the coaching staff of current Chiefs coach Andy Reid, becoming the Eagles' quarterback coach in 2011; he followed Reid to the Chiefs in 2013 and served as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator for the next three years until his tenure as head coach for the Hawks. His playing career spanned 10 years, including seven years as a substitute quarterback for Brett Farfer in the Packers and a Super Bowl victory with the team in 1996.
However, Pederson's upcoming Jaguars have been in bad shape, with a winning percentage of less than 50% for four consecutive years after reaching the American League Finals in the 2017 season. This season they ended up with a record of 3 wins and 14 losses, which gave them the second consecutive year of a title signing, but this season's poor performances have prevented trevor Lawrence from getting a decent environment to grow up, and it is not known whether Pederson's arrival can change this situation.
