With the Jacksonville Jaguars’ hiring of former Atlanta Falcons DC Ryan Neilsen now confirmed, the Jaguars look to fill the remainder of its executive office. In total, at least 10 Jacksonville former coaching staff members will need replacing for the coming season.
Def Coordinator – Mike Caldwell
Safeties Coach – Cody Grimm
Def Quality Control Coach – Tee Mitchell
Senior Defensive Asst – Bob Sutton
CB Coach – Deshea Townsend
DL Coach Brentson Buckner
Def Quality Control Coach – Sean Cullina
ILB Coach – Tony Gilbert
Asst OL Coach – Todd Washington
RB Coach – Bernie Parmalee
With the majority of the defensive staff being relieved of their role and the additional loss of two coaches on the offensive side, the Jaguars have multiple major holes in need of filling to round out their staff before the coming 2024 NFL Draft and NFL Combine seasons.
Reported Staff Interviews:
- Kris Richard – Former Co-defensive coordinator and DB Coach- New Orleans Saints
#Jaguars interviewed Kris Richard, per a league source @KPRC Richard previously interviewed with #Raiders @KPRC2

While the specific role Richard interviewed for has not been confirmed, an educated guess would be in the secondary as a former DB and multiple stops as a DB coach. Richard was last with Nielsen in New Orleans from 2021 to 2022 as a DBs coach and co-DC. He also was the Seattle Seahawks DC from 2015 – 2017.
Reported Additions:
- Dave Huxtable – Former Def Assistant- Atlanta Falcons
I’m told Dave Huxtable will be joining the Jaguars staff. He was a Senior defensive assistant in Atlanta.

Huxable worked with Nielsen from 2013 to 2016, before working with him in Atlanta. Nielsen was Huxable’s DL coach at NC State. A coach since 1982, he has been a DC at NC State, UCF, Pitt, UNC, GT, & Western Kentucky.
Rumored Interest/Links:
- Jerry Gray – Former Asst HC/Defense- Atlanta Falcons
As coordinator positions continue to populate, one name to keep an eye on is Falcons assistant head coach/defense Jerry Gray. Despite some speculation, I don’t anticipate him going to Jacksonville. He’s under contract in ATL but obviously things are in flux there.
