The Jaguars are adding an offensive assistant.
Jacksonville is hiring Brian Picucci to be the club’s offensive run game coordinator, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Picucci had been Tampa Bay’s offensive line coach in 2025 after serving as the club’s assistant offensive line coach in 2024.
Picucci worked with Jaguars head coach Liam Coen at multiple stops, including with Tampa Bay in 2024 and also at the college level at Kentucky.
The Bills interviewed Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski on Sunday, the team announced.
Udinski, 30, just completed his first season as Jacksonville’s offensive coordinator under head coach Liam Coen. Udinski did not call plays, as Coen filled that role.
Udinski has been a fast riser since entering the coaching ranks after completing his collegiate playing career as a defensive end at Towson. He started as a graduate assistant at Baylor in 2018. He was a coaching assistant with the Panthers from 2020-21, overlapping with Joe Brady.
Udinski joined the Vikings’ staff under Kevin O’Connell in 2022. He transitioned from assistant to the head coach in his first season to assistant quarterbacks coach in his second season before also assuming the role of assistant offensive coordinator in 2024.
Udinski also is a candidate in Cleveland and Buffalo.
The Browns will be continuing their second round of interviews on Friday.
According to multiple reports, they will be meeting with Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski. He is the third candidate to meet with the Browns a second time.
Their own defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz and Ravens offensive coordinator Todd Monken are the others who have interviewed twice. Rams pass game coordinator Nate Scheelhaase is expected to have a second meeting with the team after the NFC Championship Game and the Browns still need to satisfy the Rooney Rule requirements before they can move forward with a hire.
Udinski, who just wrapped up his first season running the offense in Jacksonville, is set for an interview with the Bills on Sunday.
Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski is scheduled for an interview with the Bills for their head coaching job.
Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Udinski is set to meet with the team on Sunday. The Bills fired Sean McDermott in the wake of last weekend’s 33-30 overtime loss to the Broncos in the divisional round of the playoffs.
Udinski is also in the running for the head coaching job in Cleveland. He’s slated for a second interview with the Browns on Friday.
Udinski was hired by the Jaguars after Liam Coen took over as the team’s head coach in 2025. He worked with Coen to construct an offense that helped the team finish sixth in the league in points scored and win the AFC South.
