Quote:He would still need a QB. All that other stuff is great, but this is the NFL - you have to have a QB. I wonder who would be his OC.

 

Also - buyer beware! Many of these very same posters were ones saying Mike Malarkey was the worst coach ever ... would never again get hired ... would never again win a game. And that Jack Del Rio ...

 

  At the very least,  the Jaguars need much better QB play than Blake Bortles provided in 2016.    Arguably the # 1 question with the Jaguars HC search is what the candidates think about Bortles moving forward?

 

  In fairness to Mike Mularkey,   the 2012 Jaguars were one of the least talented teams in the NFL in a long time.   Until Doug Marrone went 9-7 with the BIlls in 2014,  the last HC to win as many games with Buffalo was Mularkey in 2004.  

 

 JDR was the only Jaguars HC to get the team to the playoffs since the turn of the century.    And he did it twice,  including,  winning 2 times in Pittsburgh in the same season.   Eventually,  after being with the team for a long time,  players started tuning out his messages,   which happens sometimes,  especially as talent on the roster declines.   Overall though,  the Jaguars under JDR were a team with an identity that opposing teams felt in their following game due to the physical style of those Jaguars teams.
