The Jacksonville Jaguars haven’t made it official yet but it’s expected that Jay Gruden will be their next offensive coordinator soon.
The team had a vacancy at offensive coordinator after mutually parting ways with John DeFilippo last Monday after a season which had some highs for quarterback Gardner Minshew II and DJ Chark Jr. but lows for pretty much everyone else on the unit. That said, it appears a lot of people are pumped about the pending move.
Here are some reactions to Tuesday’s big news:
Jay Gruden is going to make the Jaguars offense more watchable than it’s been in a long time.

I’m glad Jay Gruden got a job, sounds like he was starting to get really bored.

Jay Gruden is a good hire by the Jags. He was a good offensive coordinator in Cincinnati, and I think he'll build around Minshew's strengths.

Jay Gruden is the most exciting coaching name I've heard the Jaguars be connected to in years.

LOVE the Jags hiring Jay Gruden as OC. I look for a much different offense out of Jacksonville next season, with some more consistency in the passing game.
