Less than enthused over the Olson hiring. 

 

As I offered yesterday, perhaps this was done out of deference to Bortles, who expressed a desire to continue to work with Scelfo.

 

At this point, we can only hope that

 

1)  Olson's past OC stints were marred by a lack of talent;

2)  The Jaguars actually have offensive talent and that it just needs to be developed.

3) Olson can provide a scheme in which that young talent can thrive.

 

But at least we have an experienced OC.

 

1. I think it's safe to say that's the case with his previous stints.  Especially the past couple of years in Oakland. 
   
2. We've all seen what the guy will have to work with.  There's a lot of young talent on that side of the ball to work with, and they should add to that this off season. 
   
3. He managed to make Carr serviceable. 
   

I think the jury is going to be out until the season starts and we get a good sense for how he'll utilize the talent he has to work with.  I'm not excited about the hire, but I do think it's going to be an upgrade over Fisch.  But, I also think the offense was going to be better in 2015 regardless of who the OC is because they were so young last season.
