Quote:They do?

 Yup.

 

The TU staff and Bobby boy used to hold hands way back in the late 1990s.

 

People forget that after OC Chris Palmer left as head coach of the brand new Cleveland Browns after the 1998 Jaguars' season, Tom Coughlin served as head coach and offensive coordinator. The TU fabricated a rift between Coughlin and then-franchise QB Mark Brunell. The TU published that the Jaguars needed Petrino to serve as a buffer between the head coach and star QB.

 

It was enough to get the snout of the camel into the tent, so to speak. Tom hired Petrino as QB coach, but not offensive coordinator as the TU demanded.  Carelessly, The TU seemingly ignored the entire NFL coaching community to pimp Bobby boy as Palmer's replacement in first place. Tom could not simply hire as Petrino as OC since Bobby boy had zero NFL coaching experience at that point.

 

When Coughlin wouldn't make Petrino OC, he backed himself up by producing a 14-2 record in 1999.

 

Tom still held the OC title for the 2000 season 

 

Coughlin finally promoted Petrino to OC in 2001 as the Jaguars' began to cut personnel to stay under the salary cap. Weaver and Huyghue's crazy, mixed up capology caved in by the end of that year, and the TU staff led the stampede to fire Tom. 

 

Ironically, the TU Staff got egged by Bobby boy, as once he was named the Jaguars' offensive coordinator prior to the 2001 season, Petrino quit the NFL after just one year as the Jaguars' OC.
