Joshua G. Grizzard (born June 11, 1990) is an American professional football coach who is the pass game coordinator for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL). He previously served as the offensive coordinator for the Buccaneers in the 2025 season. Before that, Grizzard served as an assistant coach for the Miami Dolphins, as well as at Duke University and Yale University.
A native of Lizard Lick, North Carolina, Grizzard was a two-sport athlete at East Wake High School, where he played basketball and football. A two-way player who played quarterback and safety, he was the football team's MVP and his class's valedictorian, graduating with a 4.75 GPA.[1][2]
Playing career
Grizzard played college football at Yale from 2008 to 2011 before opting to switch to a student coaching position. He was originally recruited by Tony Reno, who was both the defensive backs coach and assistant head coach at the time.[1] Grizzard was forced to redshirt his freshman season at Yale after reaggravating an ACL injury. Following Yale's 10–0 loss to rival Harvard to close the 2008 season, head coach Jack Siedlecki resigned amid growing criticism,[3] which also resulted in the departure of the staff, including Reno. Grizzard played for Yale under new coach Tom Williams for his redshirt freshman, sophomore, and junior seasons.[1]
