There are a number of teams in the NFL who are still looking for an official offensive coordinator.
A possible candidate for offensive coordinator is former Super Bowl-winning head coach Doug Pederson, who was dismissed from his position as head coach of the Jaguars after this season.
According to ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler, multiple teams have inquired about Pederson for an offensive coordinator position in this cycle.
It is unknown if Pederson is interested in that or not.

Pederson has had a very long and strong NFL career as both a player and a coach.
As a career backup quarterback, he had a long career and was able to help the Green Bay Packers win the Super Bowl in 1996 as Brett Favre’s backup.
After serving as a high school head coach, he began his NFL career in 2011 with Andy Reid and the Philadelphia Eagles as a quarterbacks coach.
Of course, Pederson played under Andy Reid in both Green Bay and Philadelphia during his career.
After making the jump to coach with Reid in Philly, he followed Reid to Kansas City, where he became an offensive coordinator.
That is what earned him the head-coaching job in Philadelphia, and he ended up guiding Nick Foles and Co. to a Super Bowl win in 2017.
Jacksonville later hired him in 2022 after being fired by Philadelphia in 2020.
The 57-year-old is one of the most experienced NFL minds a team can find today, and although it didn’t work out with the Jaguars, that doesn’t mean he can’t help another team right now.
