Jaguars Hire Gus Bradley

Oct 31, 2014 7:03 AM

The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Gus Bradley as their head coach.

Bradley was most recently defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.

Bradley replaces Mike Mularkey and is the first defensive-minded hire as head coach this offseason.

"He's got a brilliant football mind," Pete Carroll said last week. "He's got a way of reaching people and touching people and getting the best out of them, coaches and players alike. He's got everything that you're looking for."

NFL On Cycle Of Hiring Offensive-Minded, White Head Coaches

Oct 31, 2014 3:45 PM

The NFL appears to be in a cycle where franchises are looking for offensive head coaches. They have also been uniformly white men this offseason.

The NFL had eight head coach openings this offseason and all six of the hires have been by white men lauded for their ability to coach on offense.

Andy Reid (Chiefs), Doug Marrone (Bills), Rob Chudzinski (Browns), Mike McCoy (Chargers), Marc Trestman (Bears) and Chip Kelly (Eagles) have all been hired. 

The favorites for the final two positions are Bruce Arians for the Cardinals and Greg Roman for the Jaguars.

All of the general manager hires have also been white men.

The NFL requires the interview of at least one minority candidate for every head coach and GM position.
