Jaguars gonna Jaguar. Hire Doug Marrone as HC.

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.

Lord. Had he ever coached a winning team?

Fitting for a rotting franchise inept in the NFL.

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.

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.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
