The Jacksonville Jaguars and offensive coordinator John DeFilippo decided to mutually part ways Monday morning, which means the Jags now have a new vacancy alongside the two they already had on offense.

New York Giants Mike Shula quarterback coach Mike Shula

Like Garrett, Shula has a ton of experience as both a quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator. In fact, Shula has been coaching in the NFL since the late 80s and has over 30 years’ worth of coaching experience.

He’s technically still employed by the Giants despite his boss Pat Shurmur getting fired after the 2019 season, but new head coach Joe Judge may have a new quarterbacks coach in mind and likely won’t hold Shula back if he wants to move on.

As we pointed out in our list of quarterback coach candidates, Shula has also groomed young talent before in Daniel Jones and Cam Newton, which, of course, is huge for Minshew. He also has coached in Jacksonville before under Jack Del Rio and may be open to coming back to Northeastern Florida.
