Jeremy Fowler reports the Jaguars are interviewing Jets safeties coach Marquand Manuel for their defensive coordinator job
Here’s the updated list of candidates for the Jaguars’ job:
Jacksonville requested to bring in Manuel last week.
Manuel, 44, began his NFL coaching career with the Seahawks back in 2012 as an assistant special teams coach. After three seasons in Seattle, the Falcons hired him as their secondary coach and he worked his way up to defensive coordinator in 2017.
The Falcons dismissed Manuel following the 2018 season. He joined the Eagles coaching staff as a secondary coach in 2020, then left for the safeties coach role with the Jets in 2021.
