- Jaguars reportedly to hire former Dolphins CB coach Mathieu Araujo
The Jacksonville Jaguars are moving quickly on finding a replacement for secondary coach Ron Milus, who was let go by the team last week after one year.
According to a report by CBS Sports' Matt Zenitz, the Jaguars are expected to hire Dolphins cornerbacks coach Mathieu Araujo. Miami underwent a coaching change, moving on from head coach Mike McDaniel, hiring former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley .
Zenitz did not speculate on Araujo's official title with the franchise. Jacksonville still has Anthony Perkins as the team's defensive backs coach.

MOVING ON? Jacksonville Jaguars DC Anthony Campanile interviews with Ravens
Araujo has spent the last four seasons with the Dolphins and worked with Jaguars defensive coordinator Anthony Campanile from 2022-23, when Campanile was in Miami as the team's linebackers coach, and Araujo as an assistant defensive backs coach.
Araujo was promoted to cornerbacks coach by the Dolphins in 2024. Before his tenure with Miami, Araujo coached at Yale (2019-21), Boston College (2017-18), Springfield College (2016) and Maine Maritime Academy (2015).
The Jaguars continue to adjust as changes to their coaching staff follow an impressive 13-4 season in their first year under head coach Liam Coen.

In addition to moving on from Milus, Jaguars assistant offensive line coach Keli'i Kekuewa is taking a job at Stanford as the team's offensive line coach.
The team also waits to see whether offensive coordinator Grant Udinski and/or Campanile get hired by other teams as head coaches.
Udinski has interviewed with the Cleveland Browns and will have a second interview with the franchise on Friday, while Campanile interviewed with the Dolphins before taking an interview with the Baltimore Ravens .
Udinski will also interview with the Buffalo Bills , as the team looks to replace long-time coach Sean McDermott.
