Question

The Jaguars will also are not expected to be bringing back special teams coach Russ Pernell

Is it “will also” or “are not expected to?”

Also don’t expect special teams coordinator Russ Purnell back, though Purnell did meet with Mularkey this weekend. #Jaguars

I woudl have thought te job that Undlin did...

with all the injuries was pretty respectable. I would have thought keeping the entire defensive coaching staff intact might have been a goal….shows how little I know!
