The Jacksonville Jaguars will make former Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson their first head coaching interview.
Doug Pederson is set to meet with the Jaguars on Thursday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media. The former Philadelphia Eagles coach will be the first of Jacksonville’s potential list of candidates to interview with the team.
Pederson, 53, was the head coach of the Eagles from 2016-2020. He led the team to a dramatic Super Bowl win over the New England Patriots in 2018. Many were shocked when he was fired just two years later.
