It’s been known for a while that many of Urban Meyer’s assistants wouldn’t be retained, and on Tuesday, one more departure was confirmed. That departure was from former receivers coach Sanjay Lal, who has joined the Seattle Seahawks’ staff as a receivers coach and offensive passing game coordinator.
The Seahawks’ addition of Lal reunited him with the organization he was with before coming to Jacksonville, as he was a senior offensive assistant on Pete Carroll’s staff. However, Nate Carroll, who is Pete Carroll’s son, will be moved to the role Lal once had with the Seahawks after previously being the team’s receivers coach.
Lal was one of the assistants Jags fans were the most vocal about in 2021 as the receivers group didn’t have the season they were hoping for. It didn’t help that the group lost DJ Chark Jr. Week 4, but even when he was available, the team was underperforming at the position.
