Doug Pederson Clears Stance on Jaguars Future as Calls Mount to Fire HC After Historic 46 Points Lions Blowout

Rough night for the ? Try catastrophic. While was busy dreaming about playoff punch cards, Jacksonville got served a 52-6 beat down that left zero room for pride. Forget optimism. This wasn't just an L. More so, it was a flashing neon sign that screamed, "Reset time!" And you've got to wonder—how much longer does Doug Pederson have before the axe falls?

Pederson, though, isn't flinching. When asked if this was his last game as Jaguars' head coach, he calmly replied: "I can't control that. I've been around this league a long time, and if it's going to happen, it's going to happen. But at the same time, I still have a job to do, and that's to get ready for a good division opponent in two weeks." Stoic, sure. But how far does that attitude get you when the wheels have already come off after a 2-9 start?

In a season where coaches like Robert Saleh (who was doing better than the current Jacksonville situation) and Dennis Allen were sacked, you can bet that Pederson might be the next name on the chopping block. The patience in Jacksonville is wearing thinner than the team's defense. And if this game is any indication, the clock is ticking loud and fast.
