Report: Jaguars to hire DeFilippo as OC

The Jacksonville Jaguars have chosen John DeFilippo as their offensive coordinator, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.

"Doug Marrone took his time with such a key hire, but when the deal gets done, he'll have his guy," Rapoport tweeted Wednesday morning.

Marrone, the Jaguars head coach, also interviewed former NFL head coach Mike McCoy for the job, according to reports on Tuesday.

DeFilippo, 40, spent 2015 with the Cleveland Browns as offensive coordinator, then was the quarterbacks coach in Philadelphia in 2016-17. The Minnesota Vikings hired DeFilippo as offensive coordinator just days after the Eagles won Super Bowl LII, then fired him after a 21-7 loss to Seattle in Week 14.

Early in his career, he was in charge of offensive quality control with the New York Giants, working under head coach Tom Coughlin, who now is the Jaguars' vice president of football operations.
