The Jacksonville Jaguars announced late Thursday night that they hired Anthony Campanile to be their new defensive coordinator.
Campanile, 42, spent four seasons as the linebackers coach of the Miami Dolphins before leaving last year to become the linebackers coach and run game coordinator for the Green Bay Packers. In his sole season in Green Bay, the team allowed the third fewest rushing yards per attempt in the NFL.
During his final season in Miami, Campanile earned some air time on HBO’s Hard Knocks: In Season, giving the world a glimpse at his passionate coaching style (NSFW language):

Campanile joined the Dolphins as a member of Brian Flores’ staff in 2020 after spending the previous season as the linebackers coach of the Michigan Wolverines. The Dolphins finished sixth in the NFL in rushing yards allowed per attempt in both the 2022 and 2023 seasons.
