He WOULD have a semblance of a defense there.

 

Of course, he'd have no QB, no receivers, no OL, but hey, we can't have everything, right?  :teehee:
Quote:No. Maybe LA because it's Los Angeles but in no way is SF a more desirable job than Jax. SF's roster is very BAD! No weapons on offense and a bottom five unit on defense.
 

And SF has a terrible owner.
This week's MMQB is a great read for those interested in the coaching stuff.

Here is what King had to say about the Jaguars' job...

 

Quote: 

By surveying the landscape, I can tell you the Jaguars’ head-coaching job is not quite as attractive as many in football might think, because there’s so little conviction in Blake Bortles as a long-term answer at quarterback.

<p class=""><a class="" href='https://twitter.com/hashtag/Jaguars?src=hash'>#<b>Jaguars</b></a>[Image: NFL_Season_2016_JAX.png] interim coach Doug Marrone had dinner with owner Shad Khan Monday night to discuss their opening. He’ll likely get another meeting

Just said on <a class="" href='https://twitter.com/gmfb'>@<b>gmfb</b></a> . News: Patriots OC Josh McDaniels will interview with Jacksonville, Los Angeles Rams, and San Francisco this weekend.

If I had to guess, that would be Sean Payton.

 

Even though the team did not win yesterday, on the whole, they came to play these last two weeks, which is more than what we can say about the team under Bradley.

 

Marrone et al seems to be able to get the most out of Bortles.

 

I was a Marrone advocate before he took over.  Nothing that has transpired since has changed my opinion.
Depressing to hear if true that we're not as attractive of an opportunity

I suppose we need to do the whole due diligence thing, but I don't want this guy coaching the Jaguars.

It was probably Coughlin.

Jacksonville Jaguars have scheduled an HC interview for Friday with Falcons OC Kyle Shanahan, per source.

Me personally, I am not rah rah about the coaching search this time.  I'm feeling like groundhog day.  Here we are at the start of the playoffs and our team is spin its tires in the mud again.  We are ending the season with more disappointment.

 

I'll have to back whoever we get but I probably won't like it very much.

Quote:It was probably Coughlin.
 

If it was Coughlin, that would solidify my support for Marrone even more.

That would be curious considering TC interviewed for the same opening currently occupied by Marrone.

 

If this happened, I think that would let me know TC wanted total control and wasn't going to get it here, or perhaps he said this at some point throughout the season when Caldwell consulted with TC.

Very good.
If it ends up being Mike Smith, that OC hire is critical to whether or not we can make that quick turn around.
Believe Shanny is my #1 option currently
They're officially interviewing McDaniels now at some point. We've requested an interview with him which was reported this morning. Another team as well has requested to interview him. 

Quote:If it ends up being Mike Smith, that OC hire is critical to whether or not we can make that quick turn around.
Agreed completely.

 

If Smith is the head coach, I would want Norv Turner as OC my first choice.
