Scapegoat -- defined by Webster’s dictionary as “one that bears the blame for others” -- is the first word that comes to mind regarding the Jacksonville Jaguars’ recent moves.
After finishing the season 9-8 to miss the playoffs, and allowing Derrick Henry to rush for a season-high 153 yards in a win-and-in Week 18 divisional matchup, Doug Pederson fired defensive coordinator Mike Caldwell and much of his staff on Black Monday.
The team announced on Tuesday that running backs coach Bernie Parmalee was relieved of his duties and assistant offensive line coach Todd Washington’s contract had expired.
