Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley is keeping his job despite the team’s miserable performance, but someone has to be the scapegoat.
That someone will be offensive coordinator Greg Olson, who was fired today, according to multiple reports.
The firing comes less than 24 hours after Bradley claimed there would be no changes to his coaching staff. It’s unclear what changed between Bradley’s comments yesterday and Olson’s firing today, but it’s possible that owner Shad Khan prevailed upon Bradley to make a change.
Olson is in his second season as the Jaguars’ offensive coordinator and has previously been an offensive coordinator of the Raiders, Buccaneers, Rams and Lions.
Today’s news means there have already been three offensive coordinators fired this season, with Olson joining former Bills offensive coordinator Greg Roman and former Ravens offensive coordinator Marc Trestman in the unemployment line.
