Well Chiefs OC isn't going to leave KC to be Jags OC.
Garrett is unemployed as he was previously HC of the girls and is now looking for work, likely as an OC waiting for another opportunity at a HC gig (which would be possible with Jax I suppose next year)

However.... I don't get any hype though. People just tossing around familiar names. (I also think the post you quote was more tongue in cheek #becausejaguars type stuff)

What we will end up with is either a hire from within or a guy looking for some sort of promotion (QB coach or RB coach from another team)
Or perhaps an OC that was recently let go from a team looking for immediate work like Rich Scangarello (Broncos) or Shula (Giants--though he may stick there with new regime, maybe)

I don't get why you WOULDN'T want him here as an OC though. He only has to focus on one side of the football. It's the same reason I would look at Caldwell and Gruden. You gain a veteran presence with a ton of head coaching experience and a lot of QB work and experience to benefit Minshew's development in year two. 

Also. With this pretty much being Marrone's and Caldwell's final year up to bat potentially? And they're looking at the AFC & NFC North on this schedule coming up? The more coaching experience you can get on the offensive side of the football the better. Will we land one of them? Probably not. 

It's the same reason that made me sick earlier. We're still leaning with Wash until reported otherwise yet here it is Wade Phillips is potentially looking at being the DC in Cleveland. [BLEEP] Cleveland. . .
