Jaguars officially name Jay Gruden offensive coordinator

The Jacksonville Jaguars officially announced former Redskins coach Jay Gruden as their next offensive coordinator on Wednesday.

Gruden, 52, will be responsible for crafting an offense with some promising pieces that include wide receiver D.J. Chark, running back Leonard Fournette and quarterbacks Gardner Minshew and Nick Foles. The Jaguars finished 6-10 in 2019 and 20th in total offense.

This will be the second stint as an offensive coordinator of Gruden’s career. Before joining the Redskins in 2014, he spent three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals — helping quarterback Andy Dalton flourish.

With the Redskins, Gruden went 35-49-1 with one playoff appearance until he was fired last October.
