The Jaguars are losing another important assistant coach, and this time, to an AFC South rival.
Cooter was the offensive coordinator for the Lions for three seasons and spent two with the Jets as the team’s running backs coach. Cooter was on staff with the Eagles as a consultant before being hired to Doug Pederson’s staff in Jacksonville.
On Pederson’s staff with the Jaguars, Cooter helped a passing game with Trevor Lawrence at the helm take a massive step forward in 2022. Lawrence was added to the Pro Bowl as a replacement for Patrick Mahomes and helped lead Jacksonville to the AFC South title and to a playoff win. Cooter will join new coach Shane Steichen’s staff in Indianapolis as the franchise looks to find stability for an offense that has languished since Andrew Luck’s surprise retirement in 2019.
It’s the second notable loss for the Jacksonville coaching staff since the season ended. Chris Jackson left as receivers coach for the University of Texas. Jacksonville hired Chad Hall to replace him.
