Former Washington Redskins head coach Jay Gruden is no longer searching for a job, as NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero reported that he is close to being hired as the offensive coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Gruden, who was fired in Washington after starting the 2019 season with an 0-5 record, will now return to the NFL after being off for the past several months. His future with the Jaguars should be highly anticipated, as they have the weapons to be a high-flying offense that will surely utilize the deep-ball a lot under Gruden.
The Jacksonville OC job is open after the team surprisingly fired John DeFilippo earlier this offseason after he spent just one year on the job. Now it will be Gruden’s goal to get the Jaguars offense back up to speed with either Gardner Minshew or Nick Foles under center.
