Over his winding, marathon 15-season pro career spanning the better part of this century, Josh McCown has played for 13 different offensive coordinators. He is well versed in virtually every type of offense and coach the league has to offer, and his experience and acumen are major reasons why he has continued to be employed as an NFL quarterback through the ripe age of 39, most recently as the New York Jets’ backup last season.



One of McCown’s many OCs was John DeFilippo, whom the Jaguars hired as their play-caller last month as part of sweeping changes to Doug Marrone’s coaching staff. McCown actually crossed paths with DeFilippo twice, first in Oakland when the man they call “Flip” was serving as the Raiders’ quarterbacks coach in 2007 and again in Cleveland in 2015 when DeFilippo was the Browns’ offensive coordinator.



McCown, who will be a free agent in March, thinks the Jaguars made an excellent addition in DeFilippo.
