Candidates with any confidence in their ability to do their job well may choose to see a team with a defense that will provide no small amount of cushion for their offense. And they may see Marrone as the guy who could have taken his team to the super bowl in 2017 with a more creative and aggressive offensive play-caller in place.

Certainly such a candidate would want some assurances about the team's intentions from a personnel standpoint, but I don't see candidates calling this a "bad career move." It's not going to be on the top of every candidates wish list, but it could be a great opportunity for a talented play caller if the team succeeds in finding an upgrade at QB and bolstering their line.

The last part is the important part. The new OC will be tasked with fixing an offense except he'll have to sign the contract without knowing who the QB might be. That's a big leap for any OC but especially for younger guys who are moving up the ladder. You'd have to have some good faith in A) This team finding a QB and B) Getting good performance out of them year 1.

I agree.
But I do think the Jags brass would be wise enough to have a fairly transparent conversation about their plans and targets for the QB position.
If they name players that an OC can get on board with, that hurdle gets a bit easier to clear.

Every time I play Madden, I have to change the Offensive scheme cause it's been the most boring playbook the last ten years. please get someone creative at least

I don't think we will have a problem staffing. This is more like a win win scenario for someone on offense. You turn it around you will be a hot prospect. If the offense fails the Head Coach is the scapegoat. Even if you know it is a one year gig, you will have a multi year deal that will give you some financial gain.

I do understand why someone would stay away as well but there are only 32 opportunities.
