Previewing the Jaguars' 2024 Season - Defense and Special Teams
Along with the seismic change in South Alabama football that was the loss of head coach Kane Wommack to Alabama to be their defensive coordinator, USA also lost its own defensive coordinator, Corey Batoon, to Missouri. Despite significant changes among the offensive staff, new head coach Major Applewhite could guarantee continuity there as he had handled that side of the team for Wommack, but on defense he needed someone that he trusted to run the same successful scheme that Wommack had designed and installed. In that way he was fortunate to Will Windham on speed dial. Windham had been linebacker coach for the Jaguars for Wommack's all three years, but had just left the staff after a shakeup for a similar job at Arkansas State. Young, energetic and well-liked by the players, Windham will now be in charge of the whole show on defense. Young talent abounds, but the loss of six of the seven top tacklers and the players responsible for 21 of the team 27 sacks and 68 of 84 tackles for losses will make this challenging.
