When the Jaguars hired Doug Pederson to replace Urban Meyer as head coach, they did so with a clear vision in mind. Pederson is now one of the few active head coaches with a Super Bowl win, and given his reputation as a quarterback guru, the team hopes he can turn the offense around.
A major part of that equation will be Press Taylor, the newly hired offensive coordinator. It’s the first NFL play-calling gig for Taylor, the younger brother of Bengals head coach Zac Taylor, but he’ll have some experienced coaches around him.
In addition to Pederson’s expertise, the team also hired two assistants — passing game coordinator Jim Bob Cooter and quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy — with offensive play-calling experience.
