Doug Pederson inches in direction of the new seat in Jacksonville

Twenty months ago, Jaguars coach Doug Pederson became three wins away from turning into the significant coach to obtain a Big Bowl with two diversified groups. Now, he could well well also no longer have three video games left in his tenure with the Jaguars.

Hell, he could well well also need most life like one.

After an 8-3 beginning in 2023, the Jaguars have lost eight of nine video games. They’re within the within the period in-between 0-3, punctuated by a 47-10 blowout loss to the Bills.

Whereas that in and of itself could well well also no longer be ample to flip up the warmth on Pederson, rob into consideration what proprietor Shad Khan said final month: ‘[W]inning now is the expectation. . . . Originate no mistake, this is the easiest crew assembled by the Jacksonville Jaguars, ever. Fully avid gamers, easiest coaches. But most significantly, let’s show it by winning now.”

After building a 17-7 lead at Miami in Week 1, the wheels have device off. They blew the game in opposition to the Dolphins, after which the Jaguars were overpowered by a Browns crew that would no longer glimpse indulge in the playoff qualifier it became a year ago. Tonight came an gruesome whisper in Buffalo.

Whereas it would be a significant shock to survey Pederson no longer on the flight relieve to Jacksonville (for reasons thoroughly diversified than the time Metropolis Meyer stayed within the relieve of after a top-time avenue loss), it feels indulge in Pederson is running out of probabilities.

On Sunday, after touring relieve from Western New York, the Jaguars head to Houston. Next, the Jaguars host the Colts. Then comes the now-annual two-game day out to London, for video games in opposition to the Bears and the Patriots.

Though there is no bye week after the Week 7 game at Wembley Stadium, failure to flip issues round within the reach future could well well also trigger a exchange as quickly as subsequent week, and (more likely) after wrapping up the annual England day out.

They’ll peaceful flip it round, as speedily as issues became round in a improper technique final season. If they originate no longer, Khan’s phrases will loom greater and better.

Since hunting for the crew in December 2011, Khan has fired four coaches. And he’d never applied to any of them the tension that became applied to Pederson correct sooner than the most fresh season started.
