The Jacksonville Jaguars first started the interview process on Dec. 30, and over a month later, they’ve hired the man they started that process with in Doug Pederson.
Pederson will join the Jags with 12 years of NFL coaching experience (also has seven as a player), a 42-37-1 record, and Super Bowl title to his name. For that reason, many seem excited about his hiring, despite it not being the candidate most had as No. 1 on their list.
Pederson’s hiring ended what had been a sloppy coaching search for the Jags, so needless to say, there were many who were relieved by the news as the Jags also did a poor job with keeping their fans updated. However, owner Shad Khan broke his silence Thursday night and had nothing but great things to say about Pederson.
