Is it just me or does this feel an awful lot like when Gene Smith hired mularky and had one last hail marry season to make it all work?

Feels like Caldwell is on such thin ice,they've opted to just keep the staff the same. Then see if Marone can pull a rabbit out his [BLEEP] and when it all goes predictably south they blow it up again.


I hope it works but this franchise has sucked the hope out of me.

With Coughlin in the mix, it will work.

Coughlin is Khan's insurance policy incase doubling down doesn't work.

I envy your staunch vision that it will work - after ALL of these years of mediocrity. 

 

I am taking the route of keeping an open mind and not jumping the gun one way or another. 

 

I just hope it finally works out for our beloved Jags. Thats all I want and thats all we want as Jaguars fans...

Atleast we have the insurance policy this time. Know what I mean...

Let's hope we hit a blackjack with this move.

Shhhhhhhh.. Don't tell em yet..

You could also say it's like the Titans last year...they hired a seemingly underwhelming interim coach for actual head coach and it turned out to be positive hire, at least for this season. That same Mularkey guy your mentioning

---

Many of us was around since the beginning of this franchise and I can tell you off rip that Coughlin don't put up with nonsense.


Every player will be early to meetings. Players will practice like they play. Things will be done the right way.


He offers a ton of value to this putrid franchise.


Some of you may have become fans after Coughlin was already gone. For those fans, I can promise you that he is the man.

The more things change, the more they stay the same.


 

We have to hope that Gus was the problem, that the last two games are more indicative than the first 14, and that Wash scraps Gus' defensive scheme for one that fits the roster.


 

That's a lot of hopes.

They're sitting at home for the playoffs too. If that is our benchmark, we might want to reconsider.

You're saying you wouldn't take 9-7 next season?

I would prefer being in the playoffs and not choking to a 2-12 team who just fired their coach and on a 9 game losing streak.

Duuuvalllll

Mularkey wasn't the problem.

 

 

Gene Smith's roster was the problem.

 

 

The roster has far, far fewer needs currently.

Mularky was about to get fired from the Falcons when we hired him (he had just laid a gooseegg with Ryan in the playoffs), so that is different. Also consider Gene Smith himself. Gene had never done anything real promising prior to becoming GM and hasn't done anythung since.


Its just not the same. Gene never drafted a single probowler, Caldwell looks like he has a couple already. Dave deserved to be kept at least one more year on merit, Gene deserved to be fired in 2011 2 years before he was.


The only simularities are the promotions from within really. And that both MM and Marrone were the last coaches to get Buffalo to a winning record when we hired them.


But having Coughlin as insurance makes this so different. If Dave and Marrone fail, we know what is gonna happen.

Peyton must store oxygen in that forehead of his. No way I'd still be alive after all that choking.

We can pretty much write this season off if that is the case. I mean, what's one more lost season in the scheme of things? I'm sure the Jags may even make the playoffs one more time before I kick the bucket.

Make the Jags Great Again
Blake Bortles......YOU'RE FIRED!
Dave Caldwell.....YOU'RE FIRED!

MEDIOCRITY? We haven't been mediocre in years.

I'm waiting for the press conference when the vision is explained.  I'm hopeful that the defensive scheme is altered and that the rumors of keeping all of the defensive staff is not true.

---

The team may indeed be tripling down in a bid to salvage Bortles but it does feel like a redo of last year where we kept Gus.  Only this year they are putting all the blame on Gus.
