Quote:An assistant head coach title is usually nothing more than a title.  Calling him the "head coach of the offense" is major stretch of reality. `They are running Olson's offense with input from Marrone on blocking schemes. 

 

The order in which they are hired is often due to the order in which they schedule interviews/ have availability and weigh offers from other teams. 

The Jags also may have simply wanted to consider other candidates at OC than they did when hiring Marrone as a line coach. The Marrone hire was a "no brainer" once he was open to being a line coach.  The OC job required/deserved more consternation.

 

Offensive coordinators get to pick their assistants in almost all situations... in this case it looks like Marrone was hired first, followed by Olson. I'll ask you this: who do you think had the idea of hiring Hackett as qb coach?

 

Normally I'd agree, the asst head coach label is almost always a meaningless title. I'm not so sure this time.
