Jaguars Request Interview With Texans QBs Coach Pep Hamilton For OC Job

Josina Anderson is reporting that the Jaguars have requested an interview with Texans QBs coach Pep Hamilton for their offensive coordinator job. 

The Jaguars just hired Doug Pederson as their next head coach and considering the work Hamilton has done with young quarterbacks such as Justin Herbert and Davis Mills, it makes sense that would be interested in him possibly working with Trevor Lawrence. 

Reports have said that Hamilton could be in for a promotion in Houston should the Texans hire Lovie Smith as their next head coach, so we’ll have to see if he interviews with Jacksonville. 

Hamilton, 47, began his coaching career as the QBs coach at Howard back in 1997. He spent five years at Howard and worked his way to offensive coordinator before taking his first NFL coaching job with the Jets in 2003 as an offensive quality control coach.

Hamilton had stints with the 49ers and Bears before he was hired by Jim Harbaugh as Stanford’s quarterbacks coach for the 2006 season. From there, he spent three years with the Colts as their offensive coordinator before being replaced after the 2015 season.

He was the assistant head coach/QBs coach for the Browns in 2016 and returned to Harbaugh’s staff at Michigan in 2017. From there, Hamilton served as the head coach and general manager for the XFL’s DC Defenders before being hired by the Chargers as a QB coach.

He joined the Texans in the same capacity in 2021.
