If Jacksonville falls brief in Week 11, NFL Media stories “dramatic transfer” may occur as quickly as this week.
Whereas that characterization is slightly obscure, it doesn't take lengthy to encompass head coach Doug Pederson and normal supervisor Trent Baalke as doable casualties ought to the Jaguars lose this week, inflicting possession to shake issues up. This report even illustrates that it wouldn't be a shock to these within the constructing if Pederson and/or Baalke obtained the axe.
If the Jaguars had been to maneuver on from Pederson, quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy may very well be a candidate to take over within the interim given his earlier head teaching expertise.
