Khan is fine with keeping the full coaching staff intact, however, Marrone could be making changes soon
Based on Khan’s statement, his meetings with the staff and players were so positive that he decided not to make any staff changes. This means that the Jags’ most scrutinized assistant, Todd Wash, will be sticking around as defensive coordinator and fans aren’t happy about it.
With the Jags not having the blue-chip talent they did in 2017, Wash has struggled with his duties at defensive coordinator. His unit finished the season 28th against the rush, 24th in yards allowed, and 21st in points allowed. And while he lost several key players in 2019 like Telvin Smith to retirement and Marcell Dareus and Myles Jack to injury, the Jags’ defense were out schemed even when healthy.
Coach Doug Marrone said he plans to evaluate his staff in the next few weeks

During Tuesday’s presser with Caldwell and Marrone, Marrone said that he will be making evaluations on his staff in the coming weeks. That could mean he may finally decide to part ways from Wash, who clearly isn’t the answer on the defensive side.
