According to a tweet sent by The Athletic's Bruce Feldman, former Jacksonville Jaguars defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen is on the move. Feldman reports that Nielsen will join the Buffalo Bills as a senior defensive assistant. New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen has opted to rebuild his own staff, leaving Nielsen and several others without jobs.

"Former Jaguars and Falcons defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen is expected to join the Bills staff as a senior defensive assistant. Nielsen also spent six seasons with the Saints as D-line coach and co-DC. He drew high interest from multiple teams in this cycle," The Athletic's Bruce Feldman said.

Former Falcons defensive coordinator Ryan Nielsen has found a new home, joining the Bills as a senior defensive assistant, according to Bruce Feldman. The Jaguars finished the 2024 campaign dead last in passing yards allowed and 31st in total defense.

Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen found his defensive coordinator after a slew of interviews throughout the week.

Ryan Nielsen has served as a defensive coordinator on three different teams over the past three years. He will not have another DC gig in 2025, but he has landed a new opportunity in the NFL.

The Jaguars are reportedly holding their first defensive coordinator interview under new head coach Liam Coen.
