JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Just two days after being introduced as the Jaguars’ new head coach, Doug Pederson has begun adding to his staff with the hiring of former Chargers’ head coach Mike McCoy as quarterbacks coach, according to a report from Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
McCoy, 49, has not coached in the NFL since a season spent as the Arizona Cardinals’ offensive coordinator in 2019. The prior season, McCoy served as the offensive coordinator for the Denver Broncos.

Pederson has said that he plans on calling the plays for the Jaguars, so McCoy’s work will be specifically with Trevor Lawrence and the other Jaguars’ quarterbacks.
It’s expected the Jaguars will complete the hiring of the key assistants by the week after the Super Bowl.
