After firing defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell and others on the defensive coaching staff Monday, the Jacksonville Jaguars turned to the offensive side Tuesday and dismissed running backs coach Bernie Parmalee.
Parmalee, 56, was on Jaguars coach Doug Pederson’s staff the last three seasons following stints with the Atlanta Falcons (2018-20), then-Oakland Raiders (2015-17), Kansas City Chiefs (2010-12) and Miami Dolphins (2002-04).
The Jaguars, who lost five of their last six games and missed the playoffs, are also moving on from assistant offensive line coach Todd Washington after his contract expired.
“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,” Pederson said in a statement. “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.”
