Things weren't supposed to end like this -- not after where the Jacksonville Jaguars were a year ago.
-- it was one of the most lopsided games in the entire history of the NFL. It was the kind of loss that heads normally roll for.
Even if Jaguars owner Shad Khan fires Pederson in the wake of the worst loss in team history, it is hard to argue against the immediate results Pederson brought Khan in 2022. He was hired to heal a broken organization after the tenure of Urban Meyer, who has once been referred to by a former staff member to me as a "monster."
In his first year as head coach, Pederson led the Jaguars to a 9-8 season and an AFC South title after being the worst team in the NFL a year before. It took some last-second heroics and some miraculous comebacks, but Pederson turned the Jaguars from ailing and losing to winning and hopeful. But just as quickly, the Jaguars collapsed on his watch. The turnover luck regressed, injuries took place at quarterback and receiver, and the Jaguars' offense never evolved after 2022. After an 8-3 start, the Jaguars finished 1-5 down the stretch of the 2023 season and missed the playoffs after losing a must-win game in Week 18.
