The Jacksonville Jaguars owner is high on the new Jaguars defensive coordinator.
In an offseason full of change and historical investments for the Jacksonville Jaguars, there is still no more impactful addition than defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen.
"So I mean, you look at it, we need a coaching change there. Every candidate we wanted to interview wanted to interview with us," Khan said on Wednesday at the Miller Electric Center. "And they came in because again, we're talking about the last decade. I mean, decade is a lifetime, but they know the reputation, what we've done. They know the facilities we have, they know the players we have. So everyone we wanted to interview, wanted to interview here.
"And if you remember, I mean, Atlanta wouldn't let us interview until they made their head coaching . And I think they were, to be honest, and kudos to them, they knew the direction they were going and they wanted to be fair to Ryan. He did a great job for them. And then you look at his record, I mean, they beat Houston. Really I mean, the game against us in London was super competitive. It wasn't for that interception at the end. I mean, who knows what would've happened.
