#Jaguars have fired HC Doug Pederson, owner Shad Khan said in a statement.

Pederson served as the team's head coach since 2022 and went 22-29 in three years.

Jax finished 4-13 this year.

By the numbers: How big, how fast, how expensive is Shad Khan's new Kismet megayacht Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan docked his newest megayacht, β€œKismet,” over the weekend in Jacksonville. What does something of this size, speed and cost actually look like?

What started as a joke about "how many Trevor Lawrence's long" Shad Khan's yacht is in our afternoon meeting quickly devolved into another silly "sports" story from yours truly. (But really, how many is it? πŸ€”) Find out this and more:

My neighbors often bring speakers outside or throw their truck doors open so they can play norteño for the whole street to hear. At 2 a.m., this is annoying. But at 4 p.m. when I'm finishing up an article, it's actually a vibe. 😌🀘

Opinion: Gaetz, Trump's AG pick, is about to show America what it means to become Florida Donald J. Trump announced on Wednesday that he was nominating Matt Gaetz as U.S. Attorney General, a stunning choice even in this funhouse timeline

Column | Matt Gaetz is a miscreant who better resembles a barking Pensacola used car salesman than he does the figure responsible for the sober and fair administration of justice in the United States. This is a stunning pick even in our funhouse timeline.

Nate Monroe: Verdict brings closure to JEA mess left in ex-CEO Aaron Zahn's wake Zahn's defense was marked by the very mendacity and bad faith that defined his brief but catastrophic tenure as the chief executive of JEA.

None of this would have seen the light of day, let alone a trial, if not for the watchful eye of Times-Union reporters, especially Nate Monroe, who wrote this about the verdict:
