The Jacksonville Jaguars agreed to terms with Press Taylor to be their offensive coordinator on Thursday, and they’ve now locked in their defensive coordinator. As expected, that assistant will be Tampa Bay Bucs interior linebackers coach Mike Caldwell, who has officially put pen to paper to rejoin his former teammate from his days with the Philadelphia Eagles in Doug Pederson.
Earlier in the week, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was the one who reported that Caldwell was the Jags’ top option to be their defensive coordinator and that both sides were in talks to finalize it. Then on Friday, ESPN’s Field Yates reported that it was official, while Garafolo confirmed the addition.
The Jaguars have now officially hired Bucs LB Mike Caldwell as their defensive coordinator, per source.
A deal that has been expected gets past the goal line.
