Udinski has come up the coaching ranks in the Sean McVay system under Kevin O&#8217;Connell and now Liam Coen. That scheme is known for its unpredictability.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Both offensive and defensive schemes throw a variety of looks at opponents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">A head coach with a malleable scheme that is quick to adjust is a good foundation for any team to build around.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Udinski is only 30, but teams are always looking for the next up-and-coming offensive mind. Campanile has the ability to rally players around him with the best of them.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Put all of that together, and it&#8217;s easy to see why Campanile and Udinski are garnering interest.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jan. 19, 2026, 11:11 a.m. ET Jacksonville Jaguars&#8217; defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile and offensive coordinator Grant Udinski have&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":690139,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2060],"tags":[95878,7,212,125,2401,213,6,31186,95933,95882,95936,95895,95906,95884,95883,95881],"class_list":{"0":"post-690138","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-jacksonville-jaguars","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-jacksonville","11":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","12":"tag-jacksonvillejaguars","13":"tag-jaguars","14":"tag-nfl","15":"tag-sstssportsnfljaguars","16":"tag-sstsnjaguars","17":"tag-tagamerican-football","18":"tag-tagjacksonville-jaguars","19":"tag-tagnfl-hub","20":"tag-tagoverall-positive","21":"tag-tagsports-coaching-training","22":"tag-tagsports-news","23":"tag-typestory"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115925035489811590","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690138","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=690138"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/690138\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/690139"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=690138"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=690138"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=690138"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
