Does this mean he is keeping the original coaching staff? We all know Hackett is staying here.. unfortunate..

If true IMO it is a good hire. I  didn't give it any chance and it's not "sexy" but I believe continuity to be more valuable than most folks here do. If true and I'm Khan I would let it be known to all involved the leash is short.

Dave definitely went the route of least resistance. What a snake.

Hoping for the best. Expecting the worst....year after year.

 

That Jaguar life

Glad we spent the last 2 pointlessly embarrassing seasons with the worst coach In history, with his replacement already on the roster.


I keep saying this, but it's pathetic me and other posters on here knew more than people who get paid handsomely to do this. This FO is a joke.

<p class="">marrone is a good coach. but this hire was more for Dave/Bortles job security than the overall success of the franchise.

<p class="">Everyone can see through Dave. Liars lie and idiots believe them.

Great news for Skuta fans

Khan probably force this upon the Jaguars because "some Superbowl wining coach" told him to do it

*sigh*  Yes, let's hire a guy who's already part of the organization that couldn't win 4 games.  Surely that'll change things. 

 

Oh well... here's hoping Marrone puts together a good staff, and doesn't just stick with the guys who are here.  

---

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

The gag order on leaking info about how the search was going sure makes a lot more sense now. 

Yup, nobody wanted the job so they closed all information to the public to minimize the damage. Hired the guy within because.....well, nobody wanted the job. 

---

Well, it makes it easier to fire Marrone and Caldwell together after another sub .500 season next year.

Strike 2. You really should quit while you have a shred of dignity left.

His contract was up if ownership changed. He chose not to take the extension. That is not quitting.

Actually it's a way of quitting with out taking a hit for quitting. It was reported a lot that he wasn't meshing with management and players and wanted an out before he got canned.


In his defense it was the Bills.

---

True, it looked a lot better than it had. However, it was against the Titans and Colts; not to mention after the HC was fired, so I'm sure a little more fire was lit underneath them. I just find it highly ignorant to do this and not have let him have more games........

 

I agree with your last statement.

 

I look at it this way.  Is New England's offensive success due to Josh McDaniel or Tom Brady? Is Atlanta's offensive success due to Kyle Shanahan or Matty Ice and Julius Jones?  In both cases, it's the latter.  I think Marrone's winning record in Buffalo is more impressive. Who did he win with?

---

No-one wanted to risk getting fired next season when Dave Caldwell gets fired because the team didnt turn around. 

 

But hey, lets get all hyped up for the draft!!! Jags always kill the offseason, cant wait for more stupid tweets from the Jaguars account about how awesome our offseason was. 

 

 

Please stop. You're the only poser spewing this take, and it's wrong on many levels. I don't know about Shannahan, but I guarantee you Mike Smith and Josh McDaniels wanted the job.

'02

I stand corrected he quit.

Ownership changed and he had an out that gave him his full salary if he left. Made the smart move.

---

The jaguars hired the best available candidate in my opinion. I am already excited for next season.

No problem with this.

80% of what I talk about is nonesense.. the other 25% is made up statistics...

I'm guessing he did it because his son Tony has his ear. Mike Silver reported not to count out Marrone and finished it off by saying Tony really like Marrone.

Where were all those people saying keeping Gus this year would show "patience" and entice other coaches to come here?


lol whatever the mods say on this board, if you just believe the polar opppsite you'll be 100% correct.
