Anthony Campanile joins Liam Coen’s coaching staff as defensive coordinator. 

Campanile moves to Jacksonville after a year with the Packers. There, he worked as the linebackers coach and defensive run game coordinator. 

Before Green Bay, Campanile acquired a few years of experience coaching linebackers. From 2020-23, he coached the Dolphins’ linebacker room. 

In 2019, he worked on Jim Harbaugh’s Michigan staff as a linebackers coach. That season ended an extensive run for Campanile in college and high school football. 

Campanile began his coaching career at Rutgers. In 2005, he served as a student assistant. 

Six years in high school coaching followed before a four-year spell at Rutgers. There, he worked three different roles for the Scarlet Knights:

  • Defensive Assistant (2012)
  • Tight Ends Coach (2013-14)
  • Wide Receivers Coach (2015)

He returned to coaching defense in 2016 by joining Boston College. For a three-year period, he coached defensive backs and spent a year as co-defensive coordinator.
