Quote:Doug Marrone is a decent coach. I wish he had more time to prove to the higher ups that he could be the head coach for the Jaguars. Shad Khan didnt react quick enough and let Bradley play out way farther than it should have. After the Thursday Night debacle, Bradley should of been out the door. That was Doug Marrones chance to prove what hes got. That would of been enough time to judge him and see what he can do with the team. Unfortunately we were stuck with Bradley and after 9 miserable games later which we lost all of them, Bradley got fired and Marrone got 2 games as the interim head coach to baby sit. 

 

Thats not enough time or enough to convince me that he would be a good head coach. All I see is a solid coach who blew a chance last time he was a head coach. I wish he got a more extensive period as the interim head coach. But he didnt and it costed him a real chance at being the head coach here. 

 

When you look at the Doug Marrone situation, you have to compare it to the Gus Bradley era. We went 14-48 under him, hiring one of his coordinators is a tough tough sell to the fanbase. Its showing that you dont want change. Let me tell you, they hire Doug Marrone, and I can promise you they would have a disaster of an offseason selling tickets. They are already going to have a time time energizing the fanbase after last season no matter who the head coach is. But I can promise you hiring from within IS NOT the way to go. 

 

It isnt just about the coach. Khan knows this, they have got to turn the corner and move on. Fans want change, team needs change and the owner needs both. 

 

Ill go out on a limb and say Dough Marrone will not be the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

I would agree.  My stance is Khan is a business man.  And if you change your gm even for two weeks.  And production increases into sales.  That shows the product can be sold with the pieces in place.  So why it is great to shop around for other potentials.  At end of the day Khan was impressed with Tenn and first half of Indy.  Just needs to hear alot more will be replaced to have the hottest selling product on the market. 

 

And yet if a new fresh idea has things that sparks interest. Only then would they go in a different direction.  So in essence.   It is Doug's job to lose. 

 

So now if he can show his marketing plan can be even better and the end result alot more revenue aka wins.  Then he is our new coach.  Especially with the reference of a super bowl winning coach.
