Jacksonville Jaguars Hire Mike Mularkey

Jags have hired Mike Mularkey as head coach. GM Gene Smith long a fan of his. Move not a surprise. Offensive coach to pair with young QB

Bad hire by the Jaguars.
Not aa THIS is something to fist pump over!
Whole message screwed up lol (DYAC)
  • Now this is something to fist pump over
This gives us a better chance of hiring Chud

Supposing Fisher doesnt take the job dfor Miami.

Beyond confused.

I just don’t understand why NFL team owners don’t have people that are really “smart” close to geniuses making serious decisions. You would think with all the $ they have they would find someone. Mularkey? didn’t he suck at Buffalo?

Thank you Jacksonville

And the Jets fired Schotty basically and decided to hire your former HC-Tony S.

LOL

I honestly had a bad feeling we were gonna get stuck with Malarkey...

There are alot better options IMO, glad his name is crossed off.

Sparano's revenge
What worries me is the following...

I was not a fan of Mularkey what so ever but the truth is this whole waiting for Fisher thing is starting to worry me.. Why?? Because we are running out of options…. I had three candidates that I wanted… 1. Fisher 2. Jay Gruden 3. Rob Chudzinski….. Now Fisher might screw us and pick the Rams, Gruden is already out and we havent even interviewed Rob yet….. What are we waiting for???? If we end up with the guy from Chicago Toub I might have a heart attack……. I’m about to go to bed and I will pray to wake up with Fishers decision made already… Hopefully it will be us but if not then I dont care… Just make your mind already because we are running out of candidates….

two of my favorite targets are still tied up in the playoffs

Pete Carmichael and Perry Fewell

Wow.

We are actually in the best position of any team out there. We already have 5 interviews complete, plus Fisher. The only person we have scheduled for an interview that isn’t available anymore is Mularkey. If we want to interview Chudzinski, the only team to show interest in him so far, just hired Mularkey.

Just calm down. It will work itself out.

And, from what the media has said, Toub is a great candidate. The Bears have informally tapped him to be their next coach. He’s supposed to be ready to take the step to being a HC, and is expected to be a good one. Am I saying I want him? No. But, from everything I have read and seen, he’s not that bad. John Harbaugh was a special teams coach before he got the Ravens job – just because you are “special teams” doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be a good head coach.

just because you are "special teams" doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be a good head coach.

I agree. There is much more to it then people know. I have always believed it was more about the ability to manage people. Sure a strong football background is necessary but……. Take a look at a guy like Jimmy Johnson. Not known as the best X’s and O’x guys but knew how to put together the right people, evaluate talent and then in turn get the most out of them. That was his genius. Not some amazing scheme that he came up with.

Mooch

Go get Steve Mariucci. Great coach, great personality, and proven track record.

whew! we dodged a bullet.

Thanks, Jville we owe you one.
Will the Dolphins grow up? And put on their big boy pants. 14-18 two seasons with Mike Mularkey.
Giants shut out ATL in the playoffs.
In the words of Biggie Smalls, Mr. Ross more money more problems. Throwing your check book at Fisher won’t solve our coaching problems. Grow up and make a smart choice.
Offensive woes are due to poor coaching.

Where's "theTealDeal"... wanna hear his cries... lol
