Changes to the coaching staff continue for the home team. One day after relieving multiple members of the defensive staff of their roles, the Jacksonville Jaguars have also relieved Running Back Coach Bernie Parmalee of his role. Assistant Offensive Line Coach Todd Washington’s contract has expired and he will not return.
Head Coach Doug Pederson provided the following statement via the team:
Since our season’s end, I have made the difficult decision to relieve several members of the coaching staff – on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball — of their duties. I want to thank each of these coaches for their tireless efforts these last two seasons. Ultimately, I felt change was necessary to allow our football team to reach the goals for which we are capable.
At the time, of this report, it would seem that Offensive Coordinator Press Taylor and Offensive Line Coach Phil Rauscher are both safe. No additional (new) staff changes have been announced at this time. In total, at least 10 former coaching staff members will not return for the coming season.
