Tragically, a loyal Jacksonville Jaguars coach has announced his abrupt resignation, making a…
Florida’s Jacksonville (AP) — Bernie Parmalee, the running backs coach for the Jacksonville Jaguars, is one of nine coaches whom head coach Doug Pederson has let go.
A day after Pederson fired defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell and seven of his assistants on that side of the ball, Parmalee’s departure was made public on Tuesday.
Additionally, Todd Washington, the assistant offensive line coach, had his contract expire, and Pederson declined to extend it.
Following the greatest late-season collapse in franchise history, the changes were made. In late November, the Jaguars were 8-3 and leading the AFC South. However, they lost five of their next six games and were eliminated from the playoffs.
Jacksonville lost 28–20 against Tennessee in what had turned into a win-and-in game to conclude the season. Derrick Henry ran for a season-high 153 yards in that game, while the other five losses in December and January were mostly the result of poor defense.
In those defeats, Caldwell’s team gave up 29.2 points and 146.8 yards of rushing per game.
