Year | Team | Record |

Pederson came to Jacksonville as a Super Bowl champion with the Eagles and is an immovable icon etched in Philadelphia sports lore. A Super Bowl victory over Tom Brady with a backup quarterback in Nick Foles, including going for it on fourth down with a trick play, will do that.
The following two seasons, he squeaked into the playoffs with 9-7 seasons largely plagued by injuries.
After his 2020 Eagles’ collapsed in the wake of lofty expectations, Pederson was the fall guy. Many believe that he was dismissed in more of a power struggle due to the front office’s influence over his coaching staff. Still, nonetheless, he offered championship expertise on the coaching market.
Pederson elected to take a year off to regroup while still getting paid by the Eagles and he re-entered the coaching circuit leading into the 2022 season and landed with Jacksonville.
Pederson was handed a franchise quarterback in Trevor Lawrence despite leading a team in distress after the tumultuous tenure of Urban Meyer a year prior. He was able to lead the Jaguars to an AFC South title in his first season leading Jacksonville.
