Jaguars to interview Chip Kelly for OC position
Former Eagles and 49ers head coach Chip Kelly is among the candidates being considered for the Jaguars offensive coordinator position, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports via Conor Orr of NFL.com. The news was first reported by 1010XL in Jacksonville. Rapoport noted that Nathaniel Hackett, who ended the 2016 season as the team's offensive coordinator, is also in the running.
Kelly has a personal fan in the former Giants head coach. Coughlin offered Kelly a job as a quality control coach with the Giants back in 2006, when Kelly was still the head coach at the University of New Hampshire.
"I was very tempted to go because I have the utmost respect for coach Coughlin," Kelly told USA Today back in 2013. "Philosophically, we were very similar in terms of being disciplined, not making mistakes, taking advantage of what the offense gives you."
