The Jacksonville Jaguars have named Nathaniel Hackett their offensive coordinator under new coach Doug Marrone.

Hackett served as the interim play-caller for the latter part of the 2016 season.

"We are excited to announce Nathaniel Hackett as our offensive coordinator and he will immediately be tasked with installing and implementing our offense this offseason," Marrone said. "I have had the pleasure of working with Nathaniel for seven consecutive seasons and know firsthand how knowledgeable and passionate he is about winning."

Hackett followed Marrone from Syracuse University to the Buffalo Bills before joining the Jaguars in 2015.

Chip Kelly has interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars for their vacant offensive coordinator position, according to a league source.

Kelly had previously met with owner Shad Khan for an open-ended interview. It was reported that the head coaching job was discussed at the time.

The San Francisco 49ers fired Kelly and general manager Trent Baalke earlier this month after the 49ers finished 2-14.

The Jacksonville Jaguars quietly interviewed Chip Kelly for their head coaching job before ultimately deciding upon Doug Marrone.

Kelly was fired by the San Francisco after one season with the franchise.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have hired Tom Coughlin as their executive vice president of football operations.

Jacksonville also signed general manager Dave Caldwell to a two-year extension.

Coughlin, Caldwell and new coach Doug Marrone will each have three-year deals.

Coughlin was the first head coach in Jaguars history.

The Jacksonville Jaguars will hire Doug Marrone as head coach.

Marrone has been offered the job and will take it.

Marrone was head coach of the Buffalo Bills in 2013 and 2014 before joining the Jaguars.

Marrone finished 2016 as interim head coach.

Mike Smith has emerged as the "top guy" as the Jacksonville Jaguars search for a new head coach.

Previously the head man for the Atlanta Falcons, Smith currently serves as the defensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Jaguars general manager Dave Caldwell worked in the Atlanta front office when Smith was employed by the Falcons.

Josh McDaniels would prefer to join the San Francisco 49ers if he decides to leave the New England Patriots, according to a source.

McDaniels will interview with the 49ers, Los Angeles Rams and Jacksonville Jaguars on Saturday near the Patriots' facility. 

The 49ers are the only team also with a general manager opening. That vacancy combined with Jed York's commitment to patiently rebuilding and their status as a marquee franchise makes them more attractive to McDaniels than Los Angeles and Jacksonville.

McDaniels, who has served as New England’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach since 2012.

ESPN analyst and former NFL executive Louis Riddick, who reportedly will interview with the 49ers next week, has been an avid fan of McDaniels on social media. Riddick and McDaniels also have strong ties to New England head coach Bill Belichick.

Kyle Shanahan could have a number of options this offseason as he's set to meet with the Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos.

The Broncos appear to the frontrunner where his father, Mike Shanahan, coached for several seasons.

"The word around the league right now," Mike Garafolo said, "the word with people involved in coaching searches and gathering all of this information is that that's the job Shanahan has his eyes on -- going to Denver where his father coached."

Shanahan is currently offensive coordinator of the Atlanta Falcons.

The NFL has very few teams this season that excel in all facets of the game. Further evidence of this issue shows itself in the fact that there is only one team ranking in the top-10 in both Football Outsiders' Offensive and Defensive DVOA.

Last season, the Seattle Seahawks, Carolina Panthers, Arizona Cardinals, Cincinnati Bengals and Kansas City Chiefs ranked in the top-10 on both sides of the ball.

The Chiefs were the closest team to finish in the top-10 in both Offensive and Defensive DVOA at 13th and 14th.

The New England Patriots and Dallas Cowboys finished the season ranked first and second in both Total DVOA and Weighted DVOA.

Kyle Shanahan will interview for four teams for their head coaching vacancies as the Atlanta Falcons have a playoff bye this week.

The Los Angeles Rams, Jacksonville Jaguars, Denver Broncos and San Francisco 49ers all have interest in Shanahan.

Shanahan has guided the Falcons to a sensational campaign on the offensive side of the ball.

Shanahan has several years of NFL experience despite being just 37 years old.
