Mike Florio and Chris Simms take a look at some of the candidates the Jaguars have requested permission to interview as their new head coach, including Todd Bowles, Nathaniel Hackett and more.

The Jaguars are getting the ball rolling on their head coaching interviews with a Super Bowl champ.

According to multiple reports, the team will interview former Eagles head coach Doug Pederson on Thursday. Pederson went 42-37-1 over five seasons in Philadelphia and won Super Bowl LII, but was fired after the team went 4-11-1 in 2020.

Pederson is not currently working for any NFL team, but said over the summer that he is interested in coaching another team.

The Jaguars have identified a number of candidates beyond Pederson. Former Colts and Lions head coach Jim Caldwell, Buccaneers coordinators Todd Bowles and Byron Leftwich, Cowboys coordinators Kellen Moore and Dan Quinn, and Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus are all on the team’s radar as they look for a successor to Urban Meyer.
