They just can't let him go..... There's plenty of discussion about other coaches. Doug Marrone is just not a good coach and deserves to be fired. He's not a good offensive coordinator or offensive line coach either. Edited December 31, 2019 by MJS

He flat walked out on the team to become a OL coach for the Jags. He thought he was walking out to be the Jets HC, but, yeah that didn't work out. 1

For some reason, whenever a franchise fails, fans assume that every person that touched that failure are themselves failure too. That is super myopic and, frankly, dumb. Doug is the coach. He has a record of 22 wins, 28 losses in Jacksonville. One winning season out of three. Despite his offensive background, his offenses always suck. Despite his offensive line background, his lines always suck. What makes you or anyone else think that he is a good coach? He inherited an elite defense and rode them to a 10 win season and then after that everything unraveled. What exactly does Marrone bring to the table? Is he is good leader? No. Is he smart? No (he cant even get out coherent sentences have the time). Is he a good offensive or defensive coach? No. Do players like playing for him? No. I don't quite know how he became an NFL head coach... 2
KevinInThe781 Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I think this says less about Doug, and more about the lack of quality candidates willing to even interview for the Jags.
TuelTime Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 Douggie was a good coach in a tough spot. He had a clause in his contract that paid him good money if there was an ownership change. He and Whaley weren't seeing eye to eye at the time because Whaley was trying to shove EJ Manuel down his throat. He had overachieved the year before and he wanted out before Whaley and EJ ruined his career.. Can you really blame him for not wanting to hitch his wagon to EJ Manuel and Doug Whaley? 2

That is super myopic and, frankly, dumb. ...fair assessment...thought da Fuhrer mellowed a bit with NYG....but went back to his old habits.....read an article that said Khan fired him because he was set to retire at the end of the year, wanting to upstage him so he didn't go out on his own terms......maybe the Czar has Gettleman on speed dial.......

He has shown that he’s an average coach but what he’s done the past 2 seasons is not impressive. If I were a Jags fan, I would be super pissed, but oh well - not my team. Almost like in 2008 when Ralph announced he was retaining Dick Jauron. That was worse but still disgusting. 1
Solomon Grundy Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 I'm wondering how far under the bus did he throw Coughlin?

No and he also had to deal with the a non-football guy who had no idea of that side of the NFL (Russ Brandon) sharing his input into football decisions. It was a bad situation, working with a bad GM and team president. Still Doug could have handled this differently and I think even he would admit it
Another Fan Posted December 31, 2019 Posted December 31, 2019 (edited) Call me naive as I usually try to assume the best intentions in people. But his apology to the Jaguars fan base for the last few disappointing seasons seemed heart felt. I guess ownership gave him one more year or done kind of thing. And let’s be honest getting to the AFC title game got him 3 years in Jax. Even if the Bills stunk this year Sean probably still would’ve have gotten 1 more year for breaking the drought Edited December 31, 2019 by Another Fan

If you define a coach simply by looking at his background and then looking at that position group, you are doing it wrong. The question is how is he as a manager and guiding the team towards wins. Marrone has shown he can do that. At this point, the Jags decision has more to do with continuity than anything else. Coughlin seemed to be the primary source of the locker room problems, which were in turn the reason the team failed. This will be Marrones do or die season.
