This season disappointed the Jacksonville Jaguars, as we all know. It was such a disappointment that the Jaguars immediately let go of almost everyone on the defensive side of the ball on their coaching staff.

Now, they have made more moves.

Jaguars running back coach Bernie Parmalee was relieved of his duties, and the contract for assistant offensive line coach Todd Washington expired, and he will not return.

Here is what Jaguars' Doug Pederson said about the moves:

“Since our season’s end, I have made the difficult decision to relieve several members of the coaching staff – on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball — of their duties. I want to thank each of these coaches for their tireless efforts these last two seasons. Ultimately, I felt change was necessary to allow our football team to reach the goals for which we are capable.”

The two worst parts of the Jaguar's offense were undoubtedly the run game and how bad the offensive line was, so those moves make a ton of sense. But now the Jaguars will have to replace those guys.
