The team confirmed their return Tuesday.

Campanile, 43, interviewed with the Arizona Cardinals, Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins and linebackerDevin Lloydlate in the season praised Campanile's impact on an improved Jaguars defense in 2025.

The Jaguars in 2025 improved dramatically on offense, finishing the season ranked sixth in scoring at 27.9 points per game and 11th in yards at 337.3 per game. They were 26th in scoring at 18.8 points and 25th in yards at 306.2 per game in 2024.

The Jaguars also improved significantly defensively in 2025, leading the NFL in run defense at 85.6 yards allowed per game and not allowing any player to rush for more than 74 yards in a game. The Jaguars allowed 132.6 yards per game rushing in 2024.

The Jaguars also finished second in the NFL in takeaways in 2025 with 31 after registering a league-low nine in 2024. They improved from 31st in the NFL at 389.9 yards per game allowed and 27th in points at 25.58 allowed in 2024 to 11th in yards allowed at 303.64 and eighth in points allowed with 19.8 per game in 2025.

Lloyd called Campanile "a guy that that loves all players."
