Doug Pederson

Doug Pederson is the former head coach of the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars. Pederson reached the pinnacle of his career, winning the Super Bowl during five seasons with the Eagles. He came to the Eagles with a combined 19 years of NFL experience as both a coach and player, including three seasons as the Chiefs' offensive coordinator. In addition to being head coach of the Eagles, he previously served as the team’s quarterbacks coach (2011-12) and offensive quality control coach (2009-10), and played quarterback for the team in 1999.

As the Chiefs' offensive coordinator from 2013-15, Pederson helped guide Kansas City to a 31-17 regular-season record and playoff appearances in 2013 and 2015. During his three seasons as the team’s offensive coordinator, the Chiefs ranked first in the NFL in rushing touchdowns (54), third in yards per carry (4.64) and seventh in total rushing yards (6,018). In 2015, Pederson helped the Chiefs rebound from a 1-5 start to win a team-record 11 consecutive games, including Kansas City’s first playoff victory in 22 years.

During Pederson’s first two years as Kansas City’s offensive coordinator, Pro Bowl running back Jamaal Charles enjoyed remarkable success as he ranked third amongst NFL running backs in yards per carry (4.99) and third overall in rushing touchdowns (21), fifth in rushing yards per game (77.3) and sixth in total rushing yards (2,320). In 2013, Charles’ first season in Pederson’s offense, the eight-year veteran set career highs in yards from scrimmage (1,980), total touchdowns (19), receptions (70) and receiving yards (693).
