Buftex Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 In this day and age, it is hard to fathom how Marrone has held on to that Jaguars job for so long. That team is a mess. To think, it was only 3 years ago they were thought to be on the cusp of being one of the new powerhouses of the NFL. They have made one awful move after another. 4

peterlaw Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 The Bills play at Jacksonville in 2021. Pray the Jags keep Marrone. 2 2 1
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I suspect Marrone will probably be promoted by the Jags. That guy is a survivor!! 1

His contract runs out this year, so they don't even need to fire him. Dumped players who needed big money extensions too.
Royale with Cheese Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 That defense about 3-4 years ago looked to be on the 2014 Seahawk and 2015 Bronco levels. They were stacked! And still suck. And drafted Fournette who is a bust. When you take a RB that early and they bust, it's like double worse.

I didn't think that. Marrone is just too mediocre to sustain anything for too long. He doesn't have anything going for him at all. Players don't love him, he doesn't have a special offensive or defensive mind. Not particularly good at game management. I can't think of a single thing he is good at. Some say oline, but our oline was the worst it had been in years under him and improved immediately when he left, all with largely the same players. 1

I always wondered the same thing when Jack Del Rio was there coach. Ownership may have a blind spot when it comes to coaching evaluation. 1

Uninterested / incompetent ownership is the biggest reason.
aristocrat Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 (edited) justin fields will help or if they manage to sneak in and get lawrence they have some decent weapons on offense. the jags have two firsts and two seconds to help surround that team with talent. good new coach and a smart free agent or two and they could turn it around quick.

Like A Mofo Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Remember 3 years ago when the 2 or 3 Jags fans known to existence were talking so much trash about the Buffalo Bills and taunting and lauding how great their franchise was? Ill give the Jags organization credit though: They were the franchise most ready for COVID football, they tarped 1/2 their stadium anyway and were very used to playing in front of only a few fans. Kudos to them. 1 5
H2o Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Injuries, trades, letting guys walk, and trusting in Blake Bortles. Add on top of that Tom Coughlin's played out shtick and Marrone's overall incompetence then you get: 2
noacls Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 If I'm a stud qb in college with eligibility remaining no way am I coming out this year. Jets and Jaguars are historically bad. 3
atlbillsfan1975 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 The one constant is the issue. Ownership.
GRHater69 Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 I sometimes wonder that if it wasn't for COVID this year they would have been greasing the skids to move either to London or even possibly St. Louis. They need major stadium upgrades to stay there and I can't see that happening given how poorly the team has performed with the lone exception of 2017. As for Marrone, he clearly bumped his head in 2017 and has fallen back to being what he was all along, a sub 500 coach. He had 2 years here with 1 winning season mostly riding the coattails of Jim Schwartz's defense. And in all honesty he would have finished here 8-8 that second year had the Patriots not sat Brady and their starters for most of the game in the season finale. What my friends down there tell me is the contract extension for Bortles really hurt them, there was constant feuding between their GM David Caldwell and Tom Coughlin, and players just don't want to be there. Throw in Marrone and you have a recipe for disaster.
Freddie's Dead Posted December 15, 2020 Posted December 15, 2020 Maroon is a cockaroach, he will somehow survive.

Throw in Marrone and you have a recipe for disaster. It wasn’t just Bortles. It was also the Foles contract. There are so many things there. I was at the playoff game in 17 as many of you. Caldwell (Frannies grad with Chris Polian and Telesco and a guy we know Daboll). Coughlin really started this team off in a trailer as they had nothing then before he went to the Giants. There is no doubt Khan had his eye in London. For a purely business standpoint it makes sense. There wasn’t a 70+ year history there and London would’ve been a cash cow. They dodged a bullet as they would’ve had to move back here this year. Funny as there was a story either this morning or last night how Daboll is being speculated as an in for LA with the connection to Telesco. All speculation and click bait.
