Report: Colts’ Press Taylor potential target for Doug Pederson’s staff

The Jacksonville Jaguars hired Doug Pederson to be their next head coach and it appears Indianapolis Colts assistant coach Press Taylor will get consideration for a role, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

The Colts have already had most of their defensive coaching staff migrate to Chicago to follow former defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus. Now, it seems Taylor could be on the move as well.

Expect Doug Pederson to give Press Taylor (now a #Colts offensive assistant) consideration for a role with the #Jaguars and Mike Caldwell (#Buccaneers ILBs coach) as a candidate for defensive coordinator. Caldwell played and coached with Pederson with the #Eagles.

Taylor has a strong history with Pederson during the latter’s tenure with the Philadelphia Eagles. He was the offensive quality control coach for three seasons (2013-2015) before Pederson got to Philly. However, Taylor then added assistant quarterbacks coach to his duties for two seasons (2016-2017).

He was then promoted to quarterbacks coach for two seasons (2018-2019) and then became the passing game coordinator along with being the quarterbacks coach for the 2020 season.

Taylor joined the Colts’ coaching staff under Frank Reich following the firing of Pederson during the 2021 offseason.

It will be interesting to see if Taylor joins the staff under Pederson in Jacksonville but this should be something to watch.
