Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News

The Jacksonville Jaguars (4-13) fired Doug Pederson on Monday, leaving owner Shad Khan to seek his sixth head coach since he purchased the team in November 2011. Pederson, who won a Super Bowl as head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles, was hired in January 2022. In his first season, Pederson led the Jaguars to a 9-8 record, AFC South title and playoff win. In 2023, the Jaguars went 9-8 again but missed the playoffs. Khan expected them to return to the postseason in 2024, but it all quickly fell apart when the Jaguars started the season 0-4. Along the way, there were embarrassing losses to the Chicago Bears, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Jets, Buffalo Bills and Detroit Lions (the 46-point margin was the worst in franchise history). The Jaguars' four victories came against teams without a winning record.

The Jaguars had the worst passing defense in the league -- giving up 257.4 yards per game. The offense was ravaged by injuries -- none bigger than quarterback Trevor Lawrence missing seven games with a shoulder injury and concussion -- and struggled to find consistency. Pederson was unable to find answers, despite the team spending big on free agents in the offseason.
