Jaguars coach Gus Bradley fired defensive coordinator Bob Babich on Tuesday afternoon after three seasons.
The Jaguars (5-11) ranked 31st in the NFL in scoring defense, allowing 28 a game.
On Wednesday, Bradley spoke with reporters via conference call to discuss the move. Bradley enters the 2016 season with a 12-36 record.
Here are the takeaways.
-Bradley said the process for hiring a new coordinator began last night with phone calls and continued this morning. The Jaguars have not submitted paper work to the NFL requesting to speak to potential candidates.
-Bradley said he’s received many phone calls and texts already about the job and was “pleasantly surprised” by the response.
