The Jacksonville Jaguars will hire Pederson as their next coach, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pederson was fired by the Eagles in January 2021 after five seasons, but the only coach to lead the Birds to a Super Bowl title didn't have to wait long to get another NFL head coaching job — just one season.
