Bradley and Fisch aren't going anywhere

Jags

1st Down Short middle passes= 18 passes short middle/200 total pass attempts on 1st down = 9%

2nd Down short middle passes= 21/151=13.9%

3rd Down...= 22/173=12.7%

4th Down= 1/8= 12.5%

 

Clots

1st Down= 38/232= 16.4%

2nd Down= 38/202= 18.8%

3rd Down= 26/134= 19.4%

4th Down= 2/8= 12.5%

 

I think your overall point is still valid though.

Short routes across the middle that Luck throws aren't primary routes. They are check downs and reads he makes at the line. You are seeing how a more experienced QB and receiving corp make adjustments, not playcalling.

 

Bradley and Fisch aren't going anywhere next year. Babich is the most likely coordinator to get replaced. The defense improved when Gus took over a lot of the coordinating responsibilities from him. It's not a good sign when you get made expendable.

 

The special teams coach could get replaced, but it always seems special teams success is centered more around luck than good coaching. As long as you have good kickers and some players that respond well in chaos, then you will be considered a good special teams coach. If you don't have those types of players available then you are bad. Natural ability and good instincts can't be coached and those two things are responsible for the bulk of special teams success.
