Lord. Had he ever coached a winning team?

Fitting for a rotting franchise inept in the NFL.

This is a brilliant move by the owner.  If he continues to field shitty teams, no one in JAX will want to attend, much less root for the Jags, making them a prime candidate to move to jolly ol England.  Peace out Jags!

I wonder why they have to tarp off entire sections of their stadium?

Hah! It's so funny watching these terrible franchises make the same mistakes over and over!

I'm glad we turned out the better franchise of the 2 expansion teams

Yeah, this owner is trying to get himself thrown out of Jacksonville so he can move to London - interesting relocation strategy.

It took me a second to realize that he hadn't already coached there.  A lot of former coaches on crappy teams run together in my mind.

Doug Marrone had a better record than Rivera in his first 2 years as a Head coach. He's also the only guy to get the Bills to a winning record in the past decade.

Not saying this was a slam dunk hire, however I wouldnt write it off as a move doomed to fail from the start.

The more interesting take I have on this, is how does this effect the Jag's draft board?

He's an offensive minded coach. When he was head coach of the Bills they took EJ Manuel (16th) and Sammy Watkins (4th).

It would be awfully early, but if Allen is gone, Fournette could come off the board at 4. Also worth noting, they went all Defense last year in the draft, with the exception of a backup QB in the 6th round. If they go offense at number 4, then Fournette would be the only one who makes sense.

I can easily see him wanting to draft a QB as well.

9-7 in 2014 before he decided to quit and hold out for a better job. 

To be fair, Marrone wasn't terrible that year. The Bills had the 4th-ranked defense that year which is way better than any year since and kind of impressive given how they haven't even had a top-ten defense since 04. But an internal hire won't change a culture of failure.

The London Jaguars does have a ring to it.

Honestly, it's a bit of a crapshoot right now because who knows what SF and Chicago do.

Yeah, I guess anyone can decide they just have to have the player that you want, but the 49ers and Bears shouldn't really be in the market for a running back.
