JACKSONVILLE – The coordinators are staying.
Offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, key figures in the Jaguars’ 13-4 2025 AFC South championship season, have agreed to terms to remain with the team in 2026 after interviewing for NFL head-coaching vacancies in recent weeks. The team confirmed their return Tuesday.
Udinski, 30, interviewed with the Cleveland Browns and Buffalo Bills in recent weeks – with Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence late in the season saying Udinski “has been awesome for me.”
“He’s helped me a lot,” Lawrence said.
Campanile, 43, interviewed with the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins – and linebacker Devin Lloyd late in the season praised Campanile’s impact on an improved Jaguars defense in 2025.
“He came in passionate, held us to a standard and the standard has always been the standard,” Lloyd said.
The Jaguars in 2025 improved dramatically on offense, finishing the season ranked sixth in scoring at 27.9 points per game and 11th in yards at 337.3 per game. They were 26th in scoring at 18.8 points and 25th in yards at 306.2 per game in 2024.
The Jaguars scored at least 23 points in their final 10 games of the regular season, averaging 32.8 points per game. Lawrence set a franchise record with 38 touchdowns – 29 passing, nine rushing – and is a finalist for AP NFL Most Valuable Player and AP Comeback Player of the Year.
“He’s really unique,” Lawrence said. “I’ve never really met anyone like him, the way he approaches the preparation process, the attention to detail, the game planning in general, the things that he thinks about, the conversations that we have throughout the whole week. It’s a very, very detailed process.
