The Jacksonville Jaguars elevated defensive line coach Todd Wash to defensive coordinator, according to published reports.

Wash, 47, replaces Bob Babich, who was fired after the 2015 season.

Wash has been part of the Jacksonville staff since Gus Bradley took over as coach in 2013. He was the defensive line coach prior to Thursday’s promotion.

The Jaguars allowed 448 points in 2015, one point shy of the franchise-worst total of 2013.
