Gus Bradley, Jaguars
Even if you consider Bradley all but fired now, the Jaguars are smart to retain him for the time being. There's nobody of any note who is going to come in midseason and turn around Jacksonville over the long term. Any outsider would need a full offseason to teach the team concepts and scheme, and any promotion would be unwarranted. It's the same logic that led to quarterbacks coach Nathaniel Hackett's promotion to the offensive coordinator role after Greg Olson was fired. The offense was a mess, but why would Hackett be able to fix it after watching Blake Bortles ' mechanics go completely haywire on his watch? Bradley's likely in-season replacement would be assistant head coach Doug Marrone, but interim coaches often fool you into making a bad hire . Bradley would need a scorching-hot second half to hold onto his job. He would need to go 6-2 to make it to .500, and with the Broncos and Vikings on the schedule at home, the Jags will have a razor-thin margin of error. You also could make a case for Bortles appearing on this list, but the Jaguars are committed to Bortles and his fully guaranteed contract for the time being. Even if they fire Bradley and replace him with a new head coach, it's extremely likely that Jacksonville will ask that new chief to try to rebuild Bortles before moving on to a new option under center. The make-or-break year for Bortles is likely 2018. Bradley has to win now to have any hope of being around for it. http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/18012...-half-2016 <p style="margin:0in 0in 15pt;"> ![]() |
