It hasn’t been a great few years professionally for John DeFilippo.
On Monday, it was reported that just after one season in Jacksonville, the Jaguars were moving on from the offensive coordinator.
A surprise in Jacksonville: The #Jaguars are moving on from offensive coordinator John DeFilippo, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. After a season that saw him help develop rookie Gardner Minshew, DeFilippo is out and Jax will hire a new OC.

The Jaguars finished the season ranked 24th in yards and 26th in points.
This comes a little more than a year after the Vikings fired DeFilippo just 13 games into his run as offensive coordinator with the team in 2018.
Ironically, the Vikings have an opening at offensive coordinator.
Don’t even joke to Mike Zimmer about hiring DeFilippo for the job. We promise it won’t end well.
He’s only 41, so there’s plenty of time for him to rise the ranks again. But it feels like his next job might be a step down from offensive coordinator. Perhaps quarterbacks coach, where he has 10 years of NFL experience already under his belt.
