While the Jacksonville Jaguars 2021 season went terribly under Urban Meyer, and it couldn’t end soon enough, it wasn’t all bad, and there were parts of Meyer’s staff that fans were vocal about keeping, like defensive coordinator Joe Cullen.
Cullen, who was a first-time coordinator in 2021, had some highlight moments, though the Jags’ defense ultimately ended up finishing 20th overall and 23rd against the rush. When reflecting on the season, his group was able to hold the Buffalo Bills to six points, which gave the Jags their second win of the season. They also locked down quarterback Carson Wentz in the season finale, holding the Indianapolis Colts’ offense to just 11 points and giving the team their third win of the season.
Such performances by the Jags’ defense certainly didn’t go unnoticed outside of Jacksonville, and now Cullen’s old team, the Baltimore Ravens, will be interviewing him for their defensive coordinator vacancy. The team recently parted ways with longtime assistant Don Martindale, who Cullen was under for many years, and it appears replacing him with a familiar face could be on the table.
