Jacksonville Jaguars' Doug Marrone: Losing rips something from my soul

Jacksonville Jaguars' Doug Marrone trying to win, not secure top pick in 2021 NFL draft

The Jags are going to fire Marrone, right? Right!? As much as I like Trevor Lawrence, Doug Marrone may be one of the few guys in the league that I could see ruining Lawrence. If the Jags don’t fire Marrone they might as well burn the franchise down.

And if he’s legit going out there and trying to win, I’d fire him on Saturday and make sure the interim coach knows that the most important thing for the remaining 2 games is to “evaluate the younger players on the team so they know what they have going forward.”

Jaguars fired head coach Doug Marrone. 

Jaguars owner Shad Khan thanked Marrone for his service in a Monday morning statement. The team never found an answer at quarterback during Marrone's four-year run, muddling through the Blake Bortles era before landing on Gardner Minshew, who proved not to be a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. Marrone's tenure started out well enough, with the Jags making the playoffs in 2017 for the first time in a decade and advancing to the AFC title game before losing to the Patriots. Urban Meyer is reportedly in the running to become the team's next head coach. The Jaguars have the first pick in this year's NFL Draft and $100 million in salary cap space.

Now we’ll see if Marrone can sucker some other organization into believing he’s not a big part of the problem.

Trevor Lawrence and $100M in salary cap when most other teams will be struggling with cap space is certainly an attractive landing spot for GMs and a HC. That’s assuming they don’t hire Meyer and he goes with “his” guy Fields instead...

Honestly, I think the Jags would be making another mistake if they hire Meyer. He was a great college coach that I don’t think will translate to the NFL well and who has a history of bailing on his teams. I don’t know that I’d trust him to rebuild my organization.

When he quit the Bills he went from a HC job to coaching the Oline. If he didn’t have a foot in the door at Jax I don’t see how he would have got the job there. If he lands another role I think he will have to take a similar route.

JAX was atrocious for many years and accumulated a bunch of high draft picks. You would think the team would improve, and they did — in 2017. Then they went back to being atrocious. 

All of that rebuilding for just one year of success. And now they have to rebuild again. Marrone is not the only reason for that, but it certainly does reflect terrible coaching.

Alabama hired former Jacksonville Jaguars HC Doug Marrone as OL coach.

The rich get richer. Nick Saban lost OC Steve Sarkisian to Texas, so he simply turned around and refilled his offensive coaching staff with two recent NFL head coaches. Marrone will work under former Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien, reunited after the two worked together at Georgia Tech in the late 1990s. In 2017, Marrone took Jacksonville to the AFC Championship Game in his first season. He didn't win more than six games in a season after that. Previously, he was head coach of the Buffalo Bills and the Syracuse Orange. He's been an assistant in the SEC twice, in 2000 at Georgia and 2001 at Tennessee.
