Quote:It's an interesting progression the franchise has gone through. First Coughlin as HC who ran a very tight ship, too tight some might say. Then Del Rio who was more of a player's coach but still willing and capable of laying the law down (see Mike Peterson). Skipping Mularkey. And then Bradley who appears to have been the exact opposite of Coughlin, something that clearly hasn't benefited the team. 

 

The Jaguars have been the model of over-correction in its history:

 

TC was a disciplinarian, so we went with Jack who was more a player's coach.

 

TC had a lot of control, so we went with a three-headed monster of Shack, Jack, and contract guy.

 

Jack fired (rumblings of him not doing work towards the end of his tenure, clocking in late, leaving early)....and we go with a details oriented HC in Mularkey. We also went with a single GM approach away from the 3H monster.

 

When Mike and Gene failed, both incredibly dry personality guys...

 

We went with Gus "Do your job!" and Dave "even if he's released"...

 

Mike/Gene had a veteran coaching staff that some felt was "too many chefs in the kitchen"

 

So Gus/Dave went with a young staff...

 

And now we're back to a disciplinarian in Tom/Doug, a more veteran staff, veteran players instead of all young guys.

 

The cycle never ends...
