CBSSports.com’s Will Brinson talks to Jaguars running back Maurice Jones-Drew during Super Bowl week in Indianapolis.

It didn’t take former Jaguars coach Jack Del Rio long to find another gig, as Friday night the long time Ex-Jags coach signed on to become the new defensive coordinator of the Denver Broncos.

The Broncos lost their defensive coordinator in Dennis Allen just three days ago, as he became the new head coach of the rival Oakland Raiders.

The move will put Del Rio back with Broncos coach John Fox. The Ex-Jags coach was Fox’s first defensive coordinator in Carolina in 2002 before leaving after one year to coach the Jacksonville Jaguars, who fired him in November.

Del Rio is the Broncos’ seventh defensive coordinator in seven seasons. Other men who have filled the Mile High musical chair in the last six seasons are Larry Coyer (2006), Jim Bates (2007), Bob Slowik (2008), Mike Nolan (2009) and Don Martindale (2010). Allen was the only one who left for a head coaching job.

“We are thrilled to be able to add such a well-respected defensive coach to our staff,” Fox said in a statement issued through the team’s Twitter account.

“He was an integral part of our turnaround on defense during my first year with the Panthers in 2002,” Fox added. “His defenses with the Jaguars have ranked among the NFL’s best, and we are excited he’s a Bronco.”

The Broncos also hired Luke Richesson as their head strength and conditioning coach. Richesson spent the last three seasons with the Jaguars.

Mularkey also named his son, Patrick, as strength assistant. Patrick Mularkey joins the coaching staff after spending the past two seasons as a scouting assistant in Jacksonville’s personnel department.

Myslinski played nine seasons in the NFL and then spent the last seven years as a strength and conditioning coordinator, beginning at Robert Morris (2005-06) and continuing with the Cleveland Browns (2007-09), Memphis (2010) and North Carolina (2011).

While playing in the NFL, Myslinski served as a volunteer assistant strength and conditioning coach at the University of Pittsburgh (1998-2001). Prior to his stint at Pitt, he spent 1996 as the volunteer strength and conditioning coach at the University of North Florida.

According to Biggs, Olson is the only candidate to interview for the position, but chose the Jaguars’ offer, which included a longer term (three years compared to the Bears’ two-year offer) and the additional title of “assistant head coach”. The Bears’ search for a quarterbacks coach will continue next week.

Middle linebacker Paul Posluszny’s first off-season with the Jacksonville Jaguars will be spent rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder, Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union reports.

According to Ganguli, Posluszny already went under the knife and will be out until training camp.

“The only thing it’ll screw up is a training schedule,” Posluszny said of his shoulder injury after the end of the season. “When I’ll be able to get back into training 100 percent, but other than that it shouldn’t be (a problem). I don’t have vacations planned so it should be okay.”

Signed to a six-year, $45 million contract on July 29, Posluszny started all 16 games and had a team-high 119 tackles, adding two quarterback sacks, two interceptions and a career-high nine passes defensed.

Added to his staff are John Bonamego as the team’s special teams coordinator, running backs coach Sylvester Croom, tight ends coach Bobby Johnson, and wide receivers coach Jerry Sullivan.

Bonamego coached on Tom Coughlin’s staff with the Jaguars from 1999-2002 before coaching with the Green Bay Packers (2003-05), New Orleans Saints (2006-07, 2011) and Miami Dolphins (2008-10).

Oden coached the Texans DB’s before joining the Saints in 2006.

Prior to his NFL work, Oden coached at the college level at Boston College, Millersville, Army, East Carolina, and Eastern Michigan while interning with the Browns and Packers during training camp.

Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, who was the interim head coach for the Jaguars late last season, also has the “Assistant Head Coach” affixed to his title.

Olson spent the last four seasons with the Buccaneers, coaching quarterbacks before he was promoted to offensive coordinator at the start of the 2009 season. Olson interviewed with the Bears last week for a possible quarterbacks coach/passing game coordinator position.

Family parties around the NFL have always been a staple in my family. My first memory from a family party was Super Bowl XVII on January 30th 1983.

While that was fun, finally in 2006 it was my turn to host my first Super Bowl party, a bash complete with food, games, and the two best teams that season in the league.

The menu was pretty basic, yet effective. Pizza, wings, pasta, red potatoes, a veggie and cheese tray, and even fruit salad. The party kicked off with some squares, a football tradition, and even some football bingo with some small prizes for those lucky enough to take home a game. Finally at 6:25pm, it was kickoff of Super Bowl XL.

While I have gone back and watched the game probably about 3-5 times, the real memories of that party is not the game, but the fact that it was all about the people that attended.

We had a number of people rooting for both teams, so the game vibe was pretty solid, which was a cool element to the party. Add to the fact the game was close, there was a lot of rooting during the contest.

There was a healthy mix of people that included relatives and friends. The conversation during the game centered not just on football, but on the holidays that had passed just a few weeks before, new jobs, new relationships, and even about other sports like baseball and basketball.

That’s the best part about football parties. It’s the games, the food, and most important, the people that make the game great, like the family and friends you spend it with.

Jags fans have had to sit back and watch a ton of other teams celebrate Super Bowl parties for all the other teams in the league. While folks in J-Ville can throw some massive parties, I can only imagine the parties if the team can finally make it to the dance in the next few seasons!

February 6th is another chance to create memories at yet another Super Bowl party, and now there’s a perfect way to figure out just who to invite!

Visa has come out with the Visa’s YOU+TEN Draft app, and it’s a perfect way to have some fun figuring out who to invite over for the big game on the first Sunday in February, or if your actually lucky enough to win the sweepstakes – WHO to take to the game!

Super Bowl XLVI – another chance to create that connection with family and friends once again. Don’t miss out on it.

The Jags and new coach Mike Mularkey have added a couple more assistants to his staff.

Mularkey retained Paul Spicer and Brandon Blaney, and hired former Jaguars defensive back Marlon McCree. Spicer is the assistant defensive line coach. Blaney is a defensive assistant. And McCree is the assistant secondary coach.

Also Wednesday, the Jaguars interviewed former Florida and Illinois coach Ron Zook for special teams coordinator. New owner Shahid Khan is a big Illini booster and supported Zook during his tenure in Champaign.

Spicer spent last season as a defensive assistant in Jacksonville, and Blaney was a defensive quality control coach. McCree served two coaching internships in training camp with the New York Giants and the Broncos. McCree played eight seasons in the league, including his first three with the Jaguars.
