The Jacksonville Jaguars will have a new defensive coordinator by next Monday, if what Ryan O'Halloran is hearing around EverBank Field is true.

Told the #Jaguars "expect" to have a defensive coordinator named by Monday, when staff leaves for Senior Bowl. — Ryan O'Halloran (@ryanohalloran) January 20, 2016

All signs point to Todd Wash being promoted from defensive line coach to defensive coordinator. Jim Schwartz, the top-tier candidate, took the same position with the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this week, leaving the team with the option of going after a positional coach on another team, or promoting from within.

Overall, the search has looked like a failed process. As O'Halloran points out, there are a number of questions that need to be answered if and when Wash gets promoted, including who will now coach the defensive line, who will call plays, and what other staff moves will be included.

Funny enough, if former defensive coordinator Bob Babich's replacement is named on Monday, it will follow nearly the exact same timetable as last year when replacing Jedd Fisch with new offensive coordinator Greg Olson.

Two days after the 2014 season finale, Fisch was fired. 22 days later, Olson was hired.

Two days after the 2015 season finale, Babich was fired. 20 days later is... Monday.
