Which HC is on the hot seat or what OC/DC/ST coach runs a great O that uses the talent we have and they would have to work with? Hell with the way the league is going you could look at college coaches.

The same could be said for Wash and Hackett.

As much as I want to... wouldn't fire Marrone. Why? What legit HC would want the position with Bortles guaranteed next season? Answer? NONE!!!! Now... Wash.... FIRE HIM. No question we would have all the bright defensive minds lining up to be here... no question about it.

See in one hand I can get behind this. He inherited a rag tag team with young talent and young potential. They had never known success, rarely won and had Gus telling them unlucky. He's in his second year and has had terrible luck with injuries on the O which has severely impacted his game plan each week. How close is this team to what Marrone wants? And then there's Blake.....

And I've said in other threads, it's not all on Wash but we've had the broken coverages and mis communications since week 1. It's up to the coach to clean that up and he hasn't, plus the results from this D unit are appalling. I agree that plenty of D coaches would want to come, look at Wade with the Rams. In a weird way Gus on paper would be a good fit as a DC. If Todd Bowles gets canned by the Jets he'd be a nice addition, I also look at ex players like Vrabel and Pedersen and wonder if a few more will get a shot. McCardell as OC? this D is an elite unit. They've played nowhere like it this year but They are.
