The Jacksonville Jaguars are expected to shuffle the structure of their front office.

Shad Khan said Saturday that the plan is to hire an executive vice president of football operations and add someone to work under current general manager Trent Baalke.

The decision comes on the heels of the Jaguars naming Doug Pederson their new head coach.

"One of the reasons we had the search was not only looking for the head-coaching candidate but really to learn about other organizations," Khan said. "That's a byproduct of the coaching search. So some of the practices, some of the structure that works, we got great insight into it. Strengthening the football operations, more staff, that's part of our goal. We've had too flat an organization and we want to add brainpower and more people to strengthen that."

The Jacksonville Jaguars are hiring Doug Pederson as their next head coach, according to a league source.

Jacksonville has been without a full-time head coach since Urban Meyer was fired 49 days ago. Pederson, who led the Philadelphia Eagles to a victory in Super Bowl LII, first met with the Jaguars more than a month ago.

Pederson spent 2021 out of the league after the Eagles fired him following a 4-11-1 season.
