Quote:I think a handful of teams will bring him in. You can't argue with his success and maybe he can set the new standard for special teams guys getting more serious consideration. 

 

If this was the year Caldwell was hiring his first coach instead of Gus, I think Toub would get serious consideration, but the 2017 Jaguars can't afford a coach that hasn't been a head coach before and hasn't shown he can win. 

 

So on one hand I might be a little jealous if he pans out, but in my head I know that it is not the smart, safe move for us. 

 

   I'm in agreement that an experienced winning NFL HC is the best fit for the Jaguars current situation,   It also gets back to what we discussed a few days ago about Bill O'Brien if he becomes available.  

 

  in terms of the Assistant Coach candidates that haven't been NFL HCs before,  the two that jump out on this end,  in large part because of my familiarity with them,  are Teryl Austin and Dave Toub.   I think there's a good chance both will have plenty of success in good organizations,  with a QB situation that's at least decent.   

 

 The work that Toub did with the Bears was attention getting to say the least.   They won a number of games each season mainly because of their Special Teams.   Though I haven't seen as many Chiefs games in recent seasons as Bears games when Toub was in Chicago,   practically every time I watch the Chiefs,  their Special Teams are a major asset.
