That’s kind of how I feel.  Truth be told, I prefer O’Connell over Eberflus or Hackett.  Probably over everyone else the Jags interviewed other than Peterson and Caldwell, and even then, you could probably talk me into O’Connell.  It’s just a bad look for the franchise the way it’s currently going down.

…and this is all making the rather large assumption that O’Connell would even take the job.  There are openings every year in the NFL, so he can afford to wait, especially since we may be the only team left that hasn’t hired a HC by the Super Bowl.

I’m still thinking it’s going to be Leftwich though, until I hear something definitive from Leftwich’s camp saying it isn’t.
