Doug Pederson is an Football coach and former quarterback, renowned for leading teams to Super Bowl victories both as a player and a head coach. After earning a Super Bowl XXXI Championship ring as a player with the Green Bay Packers in 1997, Doug Pederson established a 13-season professional playing career as a quarterback. Initially drafted by the New York/New Jersey Knights in 1992, he made his NFL debut with the Miami Dolphins in 1993, notably helping coach Don Shula achieve his NFL-record 325th victory the same year. Pederson was selected by the Carolina Panthers in the NFL expansion draft in 1995 before joining the Green Bay Packers, where he served as a third-string quarterback during their championship season.

In 1999, he signed a three-year, $4.5 million contract with the Philadelphia Eagles and secured his first NFL win as a starting quarterback against the Dallas Cowboys. His playing career also included a two-year contract with the Cleveland Browns, signed in 2000. Transitioning from player to coach in 2004, Pederson began his coaching tenure as head coach for Calvary Baptist Academy in Shreveport, Louisiana, where he led the team to an impressive 33–7 regular-season record over four years, starting in 2005. In 2009, he joined the Philadelphia Eagles as an offensive quality control coach, reuniting with former head coach Andy Reid.

While the Jaguars missed the playoffs in the 2023 season after a promising start, Pederson continued to lead the team through the 2024 season. He departed from the Jacksonville Jaguars in January 2025 following a 4-13 season.
