DONE DEAL: Glasgow set to leave Detroit lions details below

Jaguars Assistant day after former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell landed with the Las Vegas Raiders, another former key Jaguars assistant has a new role as well. According to Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz, Townsend is set to be the new passing game coordinator for the Detroit Lions, where he will officially work under defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn and head coach Dan Campbell. Townsend, who served as passing game coordinator and cornerbacks coach for the last two years in Jacksonville, was fired the day after the Jaguars’ 2023 season ended, joining other defensive staff members such as Defensive Line Coach Brentson Buckner, Defensive Quality Control Coach Sean Cullina, Inside Linebackers Coach Tony Gilbert, Safeties Coach Cody Grimm, Defensive Quality Control Coach Tee Mitchell, Senior Defensive Assistant Bob Sutton, and Caldwell. Every coach but Sutton and Gilbert were hired by Jaguars head coach Doug Pederson in 2022. Sutton and Gilbert were holdovers from previous coaching staffs. After starting the season on fire through the first eight weeks, the defense allowed 30 points or more in four of the Jaguars’ six losses during the second-half of the season, including two such games to Jake Browning and Joe Flacco. Jaguars head coach Pederson lamented missed assignments and missed tackles on the defensive side through the Jaguars’ 1-5 streak over the last six games. This culminated in the Jaguars allowing 28 points to the Tennessee Titans in their season-ending loss, including 21 first-half points and over eight yards per carry.
