Sources: Jags Close To Hiring Tucker
The National Football Post has just been informed that the Jacksonville Jaguars are very close to naming Mel Tucker as their new defensive coordinator. Tucker would be taking the spot that was formerly held by Gregg Williams, who left last week to become the defensive coordinator of the New Orleans Saints.
Tucker spent the previous four seasons with the Cleveland Browns. He was promoted to defensive coordinator in January of 2008.
More on this story as it develops.
Enjoy, JAX.

Maybe not such a bad move.
Del Rio's once again fighting to keep his job, so he'll probably be the one actually running the defense. Jacksonville's secondary took a step back last year, despite their adding Drayton Florence in free agency. And Tucker's received a lot of praise for his work with our young corners.
If Mel Tucker will basically be a DB coach with a more impressive job title, this could end up working well for the Jags.
