The Jaguars found their head coach in Doug Pederson and they are moving on with the work of filling out his staff. Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports that they have requested an interview with Texans quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator Pep Hamilton for their offensive coordinator role. Hamilton remains under contract to the Texans as they continue their head coaching search and he could be in line for a new role in Houston based on how that plays out.

Word on Sunday was that the Texans are working on a deal that would make defensive coordinator Lovie Smith their next head coach. Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports that Hamilton is expected to be Smith’s choice for offensive coordinator if those talks wind up with an agreement.

I know there are only 32 teams and limited jobs available, but why (other than a paycheck) would anyone take a job with that franchise?

Pep Hamilton has been a QB coach for many teams:

so which specific QB's has he worked with, and has improved their game?

I think he overlapped with Andrew Luck at Stanford and Indy. Not positive tho.

Pep Hamilton was given a lot of credit for the work he did with Justin Herbert during his rookie year, and again this past year with another rookie, Davis Mills. 

Then there’s his work with Andrew Luck, both collegiately and professionally. 

And it could be argued that he got the most out of Kyle Orton in Chicago.

Zimmer did him no favors 

Agreed.  As we've learned over time, Zimmer wasn't exactly the easiest person to work for.  That doesn't excuse DeFilippo for his "insubordination", but it does put it in context.  I would hope that DeFilippo learned from that experience.

I saw it referenced elsewhere, but what are people's thoughts on potentially seeing the return of John DeFilippo to the Vikings?  He crossed paths with O'Connell in Cleveland and is currently unemployed.

As the OC? Sure, but I don’t think he’d be the best option.

As the QB coach? Absolutely.

Although,, I have to believe that he’s gonna reunite with Pederson.

The Texans have their man: Lovie Smith.

Smith will officially become the head coach of the Texans today, PFT has confirmed.

now we fight for Hamilton.

Poor David Culley; sacrificial lamb for this last season and ends up being replaced by one of his assistants.  Texans are a dumpster fire.

He's a well-paid sacrificial lamb...he got paid as much money in 1 year as his starting LT did.

makes everything that we discussed earlier look even worse. The guy outperforms expectations with a significantly worse roster, gets fired, and is then replaced by someone from his own staff. Nightmare organization.
