Any positive feeling after the Marrone hire is out the damn window. Anybody who tries to defend this hire as anything other than settling for scraps is deluding themselves. If true, this is the most predictable thing ever. No OC candidate worth their salt would jump on a sinking ship like this. Here are the DVOA rankings of every offense he was coordinator for:

 

2004: 23rd (Lions)

2005: 29th (Lions)

2006: 14th (Rams)

2007: 31st (Rams)

2008: 20th (Bucs)

2009: 26th (Bucs)

2010: 8th (Bucs)

2011: 26th (Bucs)

2013: 28th (Raiders)

2014: 30th (Raiders)

 

Like give me a break. I'm sure the usual suspects will be talking about what a coup this is for the jaguars and how much smarter they are than everybody for hiring such an 'experienced' OC. This is horrible.
