Doug Pederson has been hired by Jaguars as their new head coach on the 3rd February 2022.
Doug Pederson‘s new appointment came after he was fired last year by his former team Philadelphia.
Jaguars took to Twitter to confirm the news by tweeting;
“We’ve hired Doug Pederson as head coach. #DUUUVAL“
“Doug Pederson four years ago won a Super Bowl as head coach of a franchise in pursuit of its first world championship. I hope Doug can replicate that magic here in Jacksonville, but what is certain is his proven leadership and experience as a winning head coach in the National Football League. It’s exactly what our players deserve. Nothing less,” owner Shad Khan said in a release.
“Combine this with his acumen on the offensive side of the ball, and you have why I am proud to name Doug Pederson the new head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know our fans will warmly welcome Doug and his family to Duval and I personally look forward to having Doug as part of everything we envision for the team, downtown and community in the years ahead.”
According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter;
“I think they got the right guy. I think they hired the right guy today,” said sports analyst and 1010XL Radio host Frank Frangie. “I think Doug Pederson is a quarterback guy. He won a Super Bowl with Nick Foles beating Tom Brady and Bill Belichick. It took a long time, but I think they wound up with the right guy. I think it’s a big night for the Jaguars. A great night for Trevor Lawrence and this team.”
