JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — The Jacksonville Jaguars hired Green Bay assistant Anthony Campanile as defensive coordinator and tasked him with turning around one of the worst units in franchise history. The Jaguars ranked 31st in yards allowed and 28th in points in 2024 under first-year defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen. Nielsen was fired along with coach Doug Pederson, offensive coordinator Press Taylor and most of the staff. Jacksonville hired former Tampa Bay offensive coordinator Liam Coen to replace Pederson last week, and Coen tabbed Campanile as one of his first hires. Many would argue it's his most important considering how poorly Jacksonville's defense has played in recent years.
