Jags’ Doug Pederson Now Leads Odds for First NFL Coach to Be Fired

Jaguars' head coach Doug Pederson is now the leading candidate to be the first NFL coach fired this season.

The Jacksonville Jaguars, despite a valiant effort, have found themselves slipping into treacherous grounds. Initially showing promise with a narrow 27-20 loss to Kansas City in the **divisional round of the 2022 playoffs**, their momentum wavered. Fast forward twenty games and eleven losses, and **Doug Pederson** now sits precariously atop the list of head coaches most likely to be shown the door.

Before Monday night’s crushing 47-10 defeat in Buffalo, Pederson’s odds of being the first NFL coach fired this season stood at **+400** on **SportsBetting.ag**. However, the latest setback has adjusted the odds significantly, placing Pederson as the overwhelming “favorite” at a daunting **+150**. With an unsettling start of 0-3 and having lost eight out of their last nine games, the Jaguars have been outscored 85-40 this season. Their rally to bounce back begins with their AFC South opener against Houston this week, followed by a home clash with Indianapolis in Week 5.

Rumors have swirled, and sources have whispered to the **Florida Times-Union** that Jaguars owner **Shad Khan** was “angrier than ever” post-Buffalo defeat. “He’s normally a reserved, kind gentleman. Not tonight,” the source commented, highlighting the mounting pressure on Pederson and his team.

In the world of NFL roulette, Pederson edged out Dallas’ **Mike McCarthy**, who held a +300 favorite status before Monday but shifted to +450 following the Jaguars’ blowout defeat. Let’s take a look at the current **CHANCES OF BEING FIRED FOR THE FIRST NFL COACH** according to SportsBetting.ag odds:

**Doug Pederson, Jaguars (+150)**

**Mike McCarthy, Cowboys (+450)**

**Zac Taylor, Bengals (+900)**

**Matt Eberflus, Bears (+1000)**

**Kevin Stefanski, Browns (+1000)**

**Antonio Pierce, Predators (+1200)**

**Nick Sirianni, Eagles (+1400)**

**Dennis Allen, Saints (+1400)**

**Robert Saleh, Jets (+2500)**

**Todd Bowles, Buccaneers (+2500)**

**Dan Quinn, Commanders (+2800)**

**Dave Canales, Panthers (+3300)**

**Kevin O’Connell, Vikings (+4000)**

**Jonathan Gannon, Cardinals (+5000)**

**Sean Payton, Broncos (+5000)**

**Sean McVay, Rams (+6600)**

**Brian Callahan, Titans (+6600)**

**Jerod Mayo, Patriots (+7500)**

**Raheem Morris, Falcons (+8000)**

**Shane Steichen, Colts (+8000)**

**Matt LaFleur, Packers (+10000)**

**Demeco Ryans, Texans (+10000)**

**Mike McDaniel, Seahawks (+10000)**

**Sean McDermott, Bills (+10000)**

The **Cowboys** also find themselves in troubled waters, having tumbled to 1-2 following Sunday’s loss to Baltimore, marking their second consecutive home defeat. Notwithstanding, owner **Jerry Jones** has demonstrated patience in the past. Dallas faces their NFC East rival, the New York Giants, on **Thursday Night Football**, paving the way to a critical Week 5 face-off against Pittsburgh.

Cincinnati’s dismaying 0-3 start, punctuated by a 38-33 home loss to Washington, has propelled **Zac Taylor** into the fourth-highest odds. The **Bengals** face a must-win game against Carolina on Sunday, underlining the urgency of their predicament.

**Brian Daboll**, whose seat has been the hottest since the offseason, got a temporary stay of execution with the Giants’ surprise win in Cleveland in Week 3. This victory caused **Kevin Stefanski**’s odds to climb, reflecting the Browns’ disheartening 1-2 record that doused their perceived status as an AFC contender.

Yet, it’s **Doug Pederson** and the Jaguars that find themselves under the brightest spotlight. “You hate to say it, but that’s the reality. This is where we are right now, and we’re not a good football team,” Pederson candidly conceded after Monday night’s debacle. “We have to figure this out. We have to find some answers and we have to do it quickly.”
