There was a lot of change going on at 1 TIAA Bank Drive this offseason, including a coaching change. Just 11 months into Urban Meyer’s tenure which started last January, he was fired due to being behind several incidents on and off the field, and the journey started to find someone to replace him.
The Jacksonville Jaguars named Doug Pederson their new coach over a month later and things have gone smoothly since. A big reason for that is because he’s more familiar with the NFL than Meyer, and is a former player with a better understanding of the people he will be coaching.
For these reasons, CBS Sports’ Cody Benjamin listed Pederson’s hiring as the best move made by the Jags this offseason when previewing the top decisions of every AFC team in 2022.
