The Jacksonville Jaguars finally wrapped up their search for coaching staff members on Doug Pederson’s team this past week, and the group is one with a good mix of player experience. Among those who have played in the NFL is the Jags’ new defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell, who has a lot of history with Pederson due to playing alongside him and coaching with him as both were assistants under Andy Reid.
On Friday, Caldwell was introduced to the Jacksonville media for the first time and spoke on being an assistant for Philadelphia with Pederson and how it helped him realize how sharp of a coach he was.
“Well, you know, anytime you’re dealing with a quarterback they’re going to make an impression on you,” Caldwell said. “So he was the guy and we were going through that transition period, and he did a great job, and you can see the knowledge as a player, and it just transitioned to him being a coach.”
