Could the Jacksonville Jaguars<\/a> be searching for a new defensive coordinator in the coming days?<\/p>\n Defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile reportedly has a second head coaching interview<\/a> with the Arizona Cardinals<\/a> on Thursday. The interview will take place in-person.<\/p>\n If Liam Coen does have to find a new defensive coordinator — or offensive coordinator with Grant Udinski interviewing for other openings as well — he discussed that possibility recently.<\/p>\n “It’s the frustrating part about success,” Coen said, via Action Sports Jax.<\/a> “It’s why it’s always such a challenge to reload in this business and continue to win. I think both of those guys are going to get multiple opportunities.<\/p>\n “It’s definitely something you want them to go through this process — I was fortunate enough to go through this process — and you don\u2019t want to hold guys back. But, hey look, it\u2019s my job to go find others too.\u201d<\/p>\n Expert NFL picks: Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n So in the event that Campanile heads elsewhere, who could Coen bring in as the Jaguars<\/a>‘ next defensive coordinator?<\/p>\n Raheem Morris<\/p>\n Morris has been the Falcons’ head coach for the last two seasons before being let go recently. He was the defensive coordinator for the LA Rams<\/a> when they won their Super Bowl. Of note, however, Morris has relationships with Kyle Shanahan and Matt LaFleur, both of whom are looking for a defensive coordinator as well.<\/p>\n Aubrey Pleasant<\/p>\n Pleasant has not held the title of defensive coordinator, but his coaching background is rooted in the defensive back position. Pleasant has spent the last two seasons with the Rams and Sean McVay as the defensive passing game coordinator and assistant coach.<\/p>\n Mathieu Araujo<\/p>\n
