Jaguars officially hire Jay Gruden as offensive coordinator

Only nine days since the Jaguars mutually parted ways with former offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, the team and head coach Doug Marrone have named former Washington head coach Jay Gruden as their offensive coordinator, the team announced in a statement this morning.

Jay Gruden has been named the @Jaguars’ offensive coordinator.

In his last stint as an OC, Gruden improved Cincy’s offense in points-per-game from 18th (2011) to 12th (2012) to sixth (2013).

Gruden is set to become the third offensive coordinator under Marrone since he was hired in 2017.
