Another candidate has withdrawn his name from the Cleveland Browns’ head coaching search this offseason. However, for the first time this hiring cycle, one less name on the market represents good news for Jaguars fans. Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski has reportedly become the third high-profile candidate to remove himself from consideration for Cleveland’s open head coaching role.
As reported by NFL insider Adam Schefter, Udinski is no longer in the running to become the Cleveland Browns’ next head coach after withdrawing his name from the pool of candidates.Udinski had recently emerged as a finalist for the role, alongside Rams...

Welcome to Big Cat Country’s staff roundtable!
Before we fully transition into coaching staff changes, free agency previews, original mock drafts, and plenty of other offseason content, we’re taking one last look back at the Jaguars’ highly memorable 2025-26 season.
“I was extremely proud of a lot of things that we were able to accomplish,” head coach Liam Coen said at the team’s end-of-season presser. “Very proud of their response to adversity and to that 1-0 message and that next-play mentality and now the real work is here to where we have to go and reload it.”

Despite a disappointing first round exit in the playoffs, the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 2025 season can generally be considered a success. With a new front office and coaching staff in place and a significant overhaul of the roster, the Jags jumped from four wins to thirteen and won the AFC South. The ultimate goal of course is a Super Bowl, but Liam Coen and James Gladstone will be satisfied with the foundations they have built in year one.
With the offseason already underway for all but four franchises, attention turns to further roster reconstruction. In the first of two articles we...

After making the first alteration to Liam Coen’s original coaching staff late last week, the Jacksonville Jaguars are about to fill the hole left by secondary coach Ron Milus by hiring Miami Dolphins cornerbacks coach Mathieu Araujo, according to a report by CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.
Araujo has ties with Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile during stints at both Miami and Boston College. One would think Araujo’s hiring means Campanile is likely to stay with Jacksonville, despite having taken head coaching interviews with Arizona and Baltimore.
Though the subtraction of Milus and the addition of Araujo have yet to be...

There are people who love their NFL teams. Sure.
But then there is Asher Grodman and the way that he loves the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Asher is known for playing Trevor on CBS’ Ghosts, but he is more known than anything for being a HUGE fan of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He was kind enough to join me recently to discuss the Jags, his fandom, Ghosts, and so much more. You can watch our entire conversation below.
Grodman expressed an enormous amount of confidence and belief in the current version of the Jaguars and something he said really stood out to me....

The Jacksonville Jaguars’ magical 2025 season has come to an end after the team fell 27-24 to the Buffalo Bills in the Wild Card Round of the playoffs.
While the loss will sting for a little while, the future in Jacksonville has never looked brighter. Head coach Liam Coen is firmly in the discussion for NFL Coach of the Year, Trevor Lawrence had the best season of his career, the defense has playmakers all over the place — and all of that while missing their star draft pick, Travis Hunter, for their entire hot streak down the stretch.
Getting Hunter...

Duval County is all too familiar with the NFL’s head coach hiring cycle. Since Jack Del Rio’s 2011 departure, Jacksonville has fired and hired six head coaches over the past 15 years.
Fortunately, Shad Khan finally got it right by bringing in Liam Coen one year ago this week.
Coen led the Jaguars to a 13-4 record that included eight straight wins to end the regular season. Jacksonville made the playoffs for just the fifth time since 1999 and clinched its fifth division title in franchise history. Though the campaign came to an abrupt ending in the Wild Card Round,...

This week, we asked Jacksonville Jaguars fans whether they are confident the team is headed in the right direction.
99% of the respondents said yes.
Ninety-nine percent!
99% is a record high for Jaguars fans this season. Their confidence level was at 84% to start the season and dropped all the way down to 59% after Jacksonville’s Week 10 loss in Houston.
Going into the playoffs, Jacksonville was one of six teams with at least 95% confidence among its fans. The others were Chicago, Denver, New England, New Orleans (??), and Seattle.
Let’s just hope that Grant Udinski and Anthony...
