Jacksonville offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, candidates for head-coaching jobs elsewhere, have agreed to terms to remain with the Jaguars for the 2026 season, the team announced on Tuesday.
Both spent their first season with Jacksonville in 2025 under first-year head coach Liam Coen.
Udinski, who turned 30 on Jan. 12, withdrew his name after interviewing with the Cleveland Browns, according to reports on Monday. He also was in the running for the Buffalo opening before the Bills promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on Tuesday.
Campanile, 43, was a finalist for the Arizona Cardinals’ head-coaching position, which had not been filed as of Tuesday evening. He also interviewed with the Baltimore Ravens, who hired Jesse Minter, and the Miami Dolphins, who chose Jeff Hafley.
The Jaguars were eliminated from the playoffs with a 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round.
Jacksonville ranked sixth in the regular season in points per game (27.9), fourth in scoring margin (plus-138), fifth in total touchdowns (55) and seventh in first downs (356). The 474 points scored, total TDs and first downs were franchise records.
The Jaguars’ run defense under Campanile was tops in the league (85.6 yards allowed per game), which was a franchise record. Other franchise marks broken were 102 passes defensed, 31 takeaways, 22 interceptions and a plus-13 turnover differential. Jacksonville ranked eighth in scoring defense (19.8 points per game).
