The NY Jets might consider Doug Pederson, but that doesn’t make him the favorite.

The NY Jets have long been considered a potential landing spot for Doug Pederson if the oft-criticized head coach were to be fired by the Philadelphia Eagles this offseason.

And on Monday, team owner Jeffrey Lurie made the somewhat surprising decision to move on from Pederson after five years with the organization.

The initial indication was that the Eagles would retain Pederson despite a 4-11-1 record that saw the team finish dead last in a woeful NFC East.
