During last February's Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, Tom Coughlin was in his customary Lucas Oil Stadium seat to watch the 40-yard dash even though he wasn't working for a team. The man simply loves evaluating players.

Expect Coughlin to be in the same spot next month in his new role as the Jaguars' executive vice president of football operations.

But how much will Coughlin be traipsing around the country in the weeks leading into the NFL Draft? The Jaguars have the fourth overall pick.

"When I was here as head coach [from 1995-2002], I made sure to go to all of the Florida schools," Coughlin said.

But …

"The thing that happens, to be real honest with you, is I can look at maybe four players a day [on video] while I'm here," Coughlin said. "And if I'm out traveling, I might see one player. That always plays into the decision. Some people, you definitely have to see and sit down with them in their environment and grab whatever information you can from people.

"We'll just see how it plays out."

Teams are allowed to bring in draft prospects for visits, but aren't allowed to put them through on-field drills - that must be done on-campus.

The guess is Coughlin may go to Florida or Florida State for Pro Days but if he leaves town, it will be for private workouts like the Jaguars' brass did last year for linebacker Myles Jack in Los Angeles.

Sullivan sounds off

Former receivers coach Jerry Sullivan had a parting shot for the officials when discussing his departure from the Jaguars.

Asked how the game has changed recently, Sullivan said: "The discrpency in pass interference and holding downfield. By rule of the book, it says after five yards, there is no contact. Well, that's a joke."

Receiver Allen Robinson drew 16 penalties (enforced and declined) this year, but that number should have been much higher.

"In the Oakland game, Sean Smith had A-Rob in a head-lock at 10 yards and the [official] looked right at it and didn't call it," Sullivan said. "And then you get something back from the league saying, 'Oh, they should have called it.' The thing that irritates me is the TV booth people who say, 'Let them play.' My answer to that is, 'OK, in baseball, when a guy gets strike three, do they say to let him play and give him more strikes?' No. The integrity of our game has been diluted."

Etc.

*The first Jaguars staff member to find a new job was assistant linebackers coach Scottie Hazelton, who was hired at Wyoming's defensive coordinator/linebackers coach even before his dismissal from the Jaguars was announced. Hazelton is reunited with Cowboys coach Craig Bohl - he ran Bohl's defense at North Dakota State from 2007-11 before moving onto USC (and Monte Kiffin), Nevada and three years with the Jaguars. Wyoming allowed 34.1 points per game in 2016 (lost four of last five games) and Steve Stanard's contract wasn't renewed.

*Former Jaguars defensive backs coach DeWayne Walker also landed quickly, joining the Cleveland Browns in the same capacity. Walker is reunited with Browns defensive coordinator Gregg Williams - the two were together in Washington for the 2004-05 seasons. Walker was respected by the Jaguars' defensive backs so Perry Fewell has some big shoes to fill in that room.

*The Jaguars didn't express an interest in Redskins offensive coordinator Sean McVay, 30, who was hired by the Los Angeles Rams Thursday. Great move by the Rams. My last two years in D.C. (2010-11) were McVay's first two years on the staff. One veteran player told me early that year, "Get to know him. He's the smartest guy on the staff. Future head coach." So I did and have followed his career ever since.

*I never expected the Jaguars to wait for an assistant coach to become available for fear they wouldn't be able to put together a preferred staff. Said general manager Dave Caldwell: "If we felt there was a guy that we really wanted, we would have waited." Offensive coordinators Josh McDaniels (New England) and Kyle Shanahan (Atlanta), whose teams played Saturday, may have been penalized by teams for that very reason.

*The Jaguars can begin their off-season workout program April 3, two weeks early because they have a new coach.
