Jaguars' offensive coordinator Grant Udinski is still in the running for the Buffalo Bills head coaching position. He withdrew from consideration for the Cleveland Browns' job, according to sources. Udinski has also agreed to a new contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, which includes a raise for the 2026 season if he isn't hired by Buffalo.

Udinski's rapid ascent in the coaching ranks is notable. In his first season with the Jaguars, the offense ranked sixth in scoring, 11th in total yards, and 12th in passing yards. He worked closely with Trevor Lawrence, who had a career-high 29 touchdown passes. Udinski began his NFL coaching career in 2020 with the Carolina Panthers.

The Bills are seeking a new head coach after a disappointing season, and Udinski's offensive prowess makes him an attractive candidate. His experience with quarterbacks and offensive schemes could be a great fit. If he's not hired by the Bills, the Jaguars have locked him in with a new deal.

This situation underscores the fluid nature of NFL coaching, where success quickly leads to opportunities. The Jaguars are clearly keen on retaining Udinski if he doesn't land the Bills job, showcasing his value. The Bills' decision will have a major impact on their future.
