As they continue their search for to replace fired head coach Gus Bradley, the Jaguars will interview Cardinals offensive coordinator Harold Goodwin during the upcoming week, according to Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported earlier Sunday that Jacksonville would likely interview Goodwin, though he didn’t offer a timeline.
The 43-year-old Goodwin has been the Cardinals’ O-coordinator since 2013, but head coach Bruce Arians has called the plays during that four-season span. Arizona’s offense ranked just 22nd in the NFL in DVOA entering Sunday, but Goodwin is nonetheless drawing interest from multiple head coach-needy teams. Along with the Jaguars, he’s likely to interview with the Bills and Rams.
Before the Cardinals hired Goodwin, he worked as the Bears’ assistant offensive line coach from 2004-06 and then oversaw the O-lines of the Steelers and Colts. He’s now one of several known candidates for the Jaguars’ vacancy, joining interim head coach Doug Marrone, Tom Coughlin and Mike Smith, among others.
Well at least they cover the Rooney rule, which is such an odd rule
the NFL version of Affirmative Action.
The reason you believe Goodwin’s interview is due to the Rooney rule is the entire reason the Rooney rule exist. SMH.
I never said I believe that’s why, I stated that they covered it now
Affirmative action? If he can do the job, then he should have the opportunity. Sometimes you need new blood in the head coaching fraternity.
Connor, next to last paragraph “Along with the Cardinals…,” I think you mean Jags.
what an idiot
I think he makes good head coach.it would be better if arians would let him call plays.
