With the pool of head coaching jobs drying up, former Bills head coach Doug Marrone is apparently lowering his sights.
According to Ryan O’Halloran of the Florida Times-Union, Marrone was at Everbank Field Wednesday, ostensibly to interview for the vacant Jaguars offensive coordinator post.
He has the financial flexibility afford by pocketing $4 million from the Bills when he opted out of his contract, but hasn’t found another head coaching job.
He interviewed with the Jets, Falcons and Bears, but the Jets job is already filled and the Bears might be soon.
The Jaguars are looking for a replacement for Jedd Fisch, who was fired on Dec. 30. They have a varied field of candidates, including Vikings running backs coach Kirby Wilson, Dallas offensive line coach Bill Callahan, Jets running backs coach Anthony Lynn and Oakland offensive coordinator Greg Olson.
They might also be in the market for an offensive line coach, since George Yarno was out last year while battling cancer.
Again, Marrone can afford to do nothing for a year if he wants, but the chance to work with a young quarterback on an ascending team might be the trick if he wants to rebuild his chances to get another head coaching gig.
