When you are shuffling deck chairs as often as the Jags have been, there is always going to be someone recent who wasn't exactly given a fair shake. So yes, Marrone would have to be part of the collateral damage to get rid of in order to get the clean slate that we so desperately need. Besides, Hackett came with Marrone so it's not like Marrone is averse to firing people quickly himself if it saves his own [BLEEP].

Undoubtedly, that has caused many here interested in dumping the coaches to roll their eyes at my admonitions against firing this guy or the next.

But the turnover may have cost us a player we wanted to keep.

WR Allen Robinson indicated he was close to re-signing with the Jaguars, but the constant turnover was a factor in his wanting to leave.

I do not suggest that coaching changes are never needed.  Sometimes they are warranted...desperately so in some instances.

But I submit too often fans (and more importantly owners) can allow anger and disappointment to cloud their better judgment and make mistakes regarding coaching changes that can hurt a franchise.

I don't buy into that stuff. It's always about the money, and I don't blame him. Every player should be smart enough to go to free agency. That so many of them leave what guys like Cousins got on the table blows my mind.

Robinson wasn't even valuable enough to this front office to put a franchise tag on him. If they'd have paid him he'd be here talking about how he loves the team, thinks Bortles is his QB, and about how much he likes the new direction the next coach is taking the team in.
