The Jacksonville Jaguars continue to fill out head coach Liam Coen’s staff with this morning’s announcement that Grant Udinski will be the team’s new offensive coordinator.
Udinski comes to Jacksonville from the Minnesota Vikings, where he served as assistant offensive coordinator/assistant quarterbacks coach.
“Grant will bring a wealth of knowledge, energy and a winning mindset to help lead our offense here in Jacksonville,” Coen said in a news release. “He is a rising star in this league that has been a pillar of success for the Vikings organization, and we can’t wait to have him lead our offense.”
The upcoming season will be Udinksi’s sixth coaching in the NFL and his first as an offensive coordinator. He spent three seasons with the Vikings.
During the 2024 season, the Vikings offense finished in the top 10 in multiple categories including sixth in passing yards per game (237.8), fifth in passing yards per attempt (7.99) and ninth in points per game (25.4). Minnesota was 9-1 in one-possession games in 2024, the second-best mark league-wide.
Udinski entered the NFL coaching ranks with the Panthers after spending the 2019 season at Baylor University as a graduate assistant.
Prior to becoming a coach, Udinski played defensive end at Towson from 2016-18. He played in all 12 games in 2018, finishing the season with 28 total tackles, 4.5 sacks and three forced fumbles.
A native of Doylestown, Pennsylvania, Udinski played one season at Davidson College as a tight end before transferring to Towson in 2016.
The Jaguars have been quick to hire front office and coaching stuff since Coen’s arrival. Former player Tony Boselli was named executive vice president of football operations last week. Anthony Campanile, a 19-year coaching veteran, was named the Jaguars’ new defensive coordinator in late January.
