## Jaguars’ Doug Pederson ‘Still Evaluating’ Potential Changes to Staff: ‘Everything’s on the Table’
**Jacksonville, Fla.** – Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson has yet to make any significant changes to his coaching staff, but he acknowledged on Tuesday that “everything’s on the table” as he continues to evaluate the team’s performance.
The Jaguars finished the 2022 season with a disappointing 6-11 record, missing the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. Pederson, who was hired in February 2022, inherited a roster that was widely considered one of the weakest in the NFL.
Despite the team’s struggles, Pederson expressed confidence in his staff and players. However, he also acknowledged that he is open to making changes if he believes it will improve the team’s chances of success.
### Offensive Coaching Staff Under Scrutiny
The Jaguars’ offense struggled mightily in 2022, ranking near the bottom of the league in most major statistical categories. Quarterback Trevor Lawrence, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, showed flashes of potential but also made several costly mistakes.
Offensive coordinator Press Taylor, who came to Jacksonville with Pederson from the Philadelphia Eagles, has been the subject of much criticism. Some fans and analysts believe that Taylor’s scheme is too complex for Lawrence and the rest of the offense.
Pederson said he has had discussions with Taylor about potential changes to the offense, but he has not yet made any decisions.
“I’m still evaluating everything,” Pederson said. “I’m talking to Press. I’m talking to the players. I want to make sure we’re all on the same page and that we’re putting our players in the best position to succeed.”
### Defensive Coaching Staff Could See Changes
The Jaguars’ defense was also a major disappointment in 2022, allowing the most points per game in the NFL. Defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell, who was retained from the previous coaching staff, has come under fire for his unit’s poor performance.
Pederson said he is also evaluating the defensive coaching staff, but he did not provide any specifics.
“I’m not going to speculate on any changes right now,” Pederson said. “I’m still gathering information and talking to people. I want to make sure I have all the facts before I make any decisions.”
### Other Potential Changes
In addition to the offensive and defensive coaching staffs, Pederson could also make changes to his special teams staff. Special teams coordinator Heath Farwell has been with the Jaguars since 2019, but the team’s special teams units have been inconsistent during his tenure.
Pederson could also make changes to his front office staff. General manager Trent Baalke has been the subject of much criticism for his roster construction, and there have been rumors that he could be replaced.
However, Pederson said he is not planning to make any changes to the front office at this time.
“I have a lot of confidence in Trent,” Pederson said. “He’s a good football mind, and I think he’s going to be a big part of our success moving forward.”
### Conclusion
The Jaguars are facing a critical offseason as they try to turn things around in 2023. Pederson has a lot of decisions to make, and he has not ruled out any changes to his staff.
It remains to be seen what Pederson will decide, but he has made it clear that he is committed to winning and that he will do whatever it takes to improve the team.
