Last year, the defense ranked 18th, and allowed 19.8 points per game.<br /><br />Mike Smith has been a great defensive coordinator for the Jaguars since he arrived here, and many fans believed that one day he could become a head coach.<br /><br />Now with Mike Smith gone, the Jaguars will need to fill in the vacancy. Will they look to promote someone inside the organization, or will they look elsewhere? One possible canidate for the job could be Dave Campo, who works as the defensive backs coach and assistant head coach for the Jaguars. Another trendy pick from outside the organization would be Rex Ryan, defensive coordinator for the Bears, who Jack Del Rio coached with in Baltimore.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4559680435293642273-6202064639193031000?l=jacksonvillejags.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Mike Seeverhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08218091346844595997noreply@blogger.com0
