Arguably the best part of the Jack Del Rio era was the dominant defense. That defense was oppressive and suffocated opposing teams, allowing the Jacksonville Jaguars to win many games.
The defensive coordinator that built that defense with Del Rio was Mike Smith. Smith went on to coach the Atlanta Falcons for seven seasons. He turned that franchise around, bringing Atlanta to the playoffs four times including reaching the NFC Conference Championship in 2012.
A return to the Jaguars would be fitting for Smith. It’s where he built his name and it’s where he first got a chance to shine after working for the Baltimore Ravens as an assistant before.
