Jacksonville Jaguars: Todd Wash’s return as defensive coordinator is a smart move

Bob Babich was a yes-man for former Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Gus Bradley. He was there to implement the near-carbon copy of the Seattle Seahawks defense that Bradley wanted to make.

Nevermind that the talent on the Jags roster was nowhere near the Seahawks. Nevermind that forcing the system on the Jags resulted in three of the six worst defensive seasons in franchise history. Bradley wanted a specific defense and Babich was the yes-man to implement it. Fortunately the results were so bad that Bradley had to dismiss Babich.

Elevating defensive line coach Todd Wash before the 2016 season was one of the few smart things that Bradley did during his tenure as head coach.
