INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. – The culture changed, and so did the results.
That was the story of the Jaguars’ 2022 season. But as Head Coach Doug Pederson looks ahead to the 2023 season, he knows more will be expected internally and externally. He doesn’t mind if Jaguars players know it.
In fact, Pederson wants them to know it.
“I want them to feel that kind of pressure – where you have to perform week in and week out,” Pederson said.
Pederson, speaking this week at the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, covered multiple Jaguars-related topics. He said he likes the culture created in his first season as the Jaguars’ head coach. He said he likes, too, the team’s resiliency responding to an 0-5 October, after which the Jaguars won seven of nine games to win their first AFC South title since 2017.
“I do think that it’s something we can learn from,” Pederson said of the team’s response. “This is what I kept telling our football team: ‘If we just take care of these little details, hang onto the football, not make these types of mistakes, finish better, whatever it was for that particular week … let’s clean that up and we’re going to be fine.’
“That was a positive and it’s going to be a positive as we continue to build.”
