Jaguars’ Liam Coen gets real about possibly losing OC, DC as each is already getting head coaching buzz

The Jacksonville Jaguars were one of the busier teams before the trade deadline, making improvements on the defensive side of the ball in hopes of playing meaningful football late into the season. If the Jaguars continue playing some of their best football, there's also a chance that some of their staff could get bigger opportunities down the line.

That goes for offensive and defensive coordinators Grant Udinski and Anthony Campanile, who actually had already received head coach interviews last season. They're expected to be in that pool once again after this season, and head coach Liam Coen is preparing for the moment.

As of now, all he can do is be thankful for what they've been able to bring to the team in these two years, as they make his job easy.

“It's been such a huge bonus to go into Year 2 with true continuity and chemistry,” Coen said. “We say continuity all the time; it's such a vague word in a lot of ways, but it is so important to what we're doing on a day-to-day basis. What it allows me, personally, to be able to do as the head coach, knowing that Grant, the way that the offense operates every single day is something that I'm extremely proud of. The work, the detail, the walkthroughs, the meetings- I mean, there's not a lot of stones left unturned, and I really appreciate that.

“Those 2 guys are obviously extremely talented in their own right. Um, and I'm very, very pleased that we were able to get them back and hopefully we can keep that going.”

There's no doubt that Udinski and Campanile are good at their jobs, and teams that have vacancies are going to want to pursue them. After seeing what the Jaguars have accomplished so far this season, it should be no surprise.
