'He really started from the ground up.' Leading the charge from the NFL's worst team to the brink of a division title, the Jaguars' Doug Pederson is building a strong case for Coach of the Year honors.
"Just look what he's done since he's been here. He came into a facility, a team that was 3-14 last year and completely turned it around," Jaguars right tackle Jawaan Taylor said Wednesday.
Saturday’s game, arguably, is the team’s most important regular-season contest in franchise history and Pederson is at the center of it.Pederson’s consistency and process are something most players refer back to when thinking of their head coach. Though a small gesture, it likely gave Pederson some credit within the locker room. The team saw that Pederson cared about them, their health and the work they had put in up to that point.
Some coaches enter a building preaching about their past accomplishments. Pederson didn't have to do that, even if he won two Super Bowls in the NFL, once as a player and once as a coach . Jaguars outside linebacker Josh Allen said Thursday the team believed in each other and Pederson early on. It would be the first time the Jaguars have swept a season series from the Titans since 2005. They’d also earn a winning divisional record for just the third time in 17 seasons .via ESPN“I feel like somebody's telling me about a new streak that we have broken [every week], but it's great because you talk about flipping the script and kind of turning the page and making this thing the way we want to make it.
