A new head coach is set to lead the Jacksonville Jaguars this year. The AFC South club has now finalized an interview with a candidate who could be the perfect mentor for Trevor Lawrence.

Following a disastrous campaign, the front office decided to part ways with Doug Pederson. Now, the team is searching for a new head coach for the 2025 season, someone who can maximize Trevor Lawrence’s potential.

One major issue under Pederson was the inability to fully harness Trevor Lawrence’s skills. The young quarterback is seen as the future of the franchise, but his development under Pederson wasn’t enough to make the Jaguars a true contender.
After a disappointing 2024 season, the Jaguars announced Pederson’s departure. Now, the AFC South club is actively searching for a new coach and has just completed an interview with a candidate who could be ideal for Lawrence.
The Jaguars confirmed that they have finalized an interview with Kellen Moore, the offensive coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles. Under Moore’s guidance, the Eagles have developed a formidable offense, with quarterback Jalen Hurts showing significant improvement.
Offensive coordinator Kellen Moore of the Philadelphia Eagles looks on before the game against the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field on December 29, 2024 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Moore is one of the most sought-after coaching prospects right now. He was also interviewed by the Cowboys earlier this week and is expected to announce his decision for 2025 after the Eagles conclude their playoff run.
