Jaguars keep OC Grant Udinski, DC Anthony Campanile in the fold for 2026 season

Jacksonville Jaguars offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile, both candidates for head-coaching jobs elsewhere, have agreed to remain with the team for the 2026 season, the Jaguars announced Tuesday.

Udinski and Campanile spent their first season in Jacksonville in 2025 under first-year head coach Liam Coen.

Udinski, who turned 30 on January 12, withdrew his name from consideration after interviewing with the Cleveland Browns, according to reports on Monday. He was also in the running for the Buffalo Bills’ head-coaching position before the team promoted offensive coordinator Joe Brady to head coach on Tuesday.

Campanile, 43, was a finalist for the Arizona Cardinals’ head-coaching job, which had not been filled 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 after a 27-24 loss to the Bills in the wild-card round.

Jacksonville had a strong regular season, ranking sixth in points per game (27.9), fourth in scoring margin (+138), fifth in total touchdowns (55), and seventh in first downs (356). The 474 points scored, total touchdowns, and first downs set new franchise records.

Under Campanile, the Jaguars’ run defense was the best in the league, allowing just 85.6 yards per game—a franchise record. Other records set included 102 passes defensed, 31 takeaways, 22 interceptions, and a plus-13 turnover differential. Jacksonville also ranked eighth in scoring defense, giving up 19.8 points per game.
