NFL insider hints at potentially huge move for Jaguars after 0-4 start

The Jacksonville Jaguars have not started their 2024 season the way they thought they would, sitting at 0-4 and being the last winless team in the league. It's been a rough month for the Jags and somehow even with the winless start, head coach Doug Pederson seemed baffled by questions asking if his job was on the line.

Pederson shouldn't be surprised by those types of questions considering not just the poor start this year but the collapse the team had down the stretch a season ago. It wouldn't surprise anyone if Pederson was relieved of his duties at this point but realistically, what would it take for the Jags to end up canning Pederson? What would be the plan after Pederson was fired?

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated's Monday Morning Quarterback gave his best guess. Breer appeared on The Dan Patrick Show on Wednesday and said that if the Jaguars are 0-7 following their game against the Patriots in London that would be the time for the front office to make a change because those losses would come against not-so-good teams like the Bears and Patriots.

Not only that, but Breer said that if the Jaguars took this approach, they'd then have an interim head coach for the rest of the 2024 season and then hope to turn the reigns over to... Wait for it... Bill Belichick.

Albert Breer says Jags could target Bill Belichick after this year

Belichick finished up a 24-year head coaching stint with the Patriots following a disappointing 2023 season and has spent the 2024 campaign out of coaching altogether. He'll be a hot target for teams looking for a new head coach in the 2025 offseason and the Jags could very well find themselves in that boat if Pederson continues to flounder at the helm.

Belichick will turn 73 in April so he's definitely closer to the end of his coaching career than the beginning of it but he's a six-time Super Bowl winning coach and could bring a winning mentality to Jacksonville. Some said the same thing about Pederson when he was hired in 2022 but Belichick coached in nine total Super Bowls as a head coach, winning six of those. He's absolutely someone the Jaguars should be reaching out to if Pederson isn't retained past this year.

At this point, the Jags have to start winning games or else it's pretty much a foregone conclusion that Pederson will be gone. After an excellent first year on the job in 2022, Pederson has underwhelmed as the head coach in Jacksonville and Trevor Lawrence isn't getting any better under his tutelage, which is concerning.

Hopefully the Jaguars can figure things out and start winning games and being the contender fans thought they could be. Otherwise, we could be in for a
