Well 15 straight losses to end a season is not a good look. And it looks like it has cost the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach his job.
The team announced that they have fired bench boss Doug Marrone following a 28-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday to wrap up the season. They finished with a dismal 1-15 record in 2020.
“I am committed and determined to deliver winning football to the City of Jacksonville. Realizing that goal requires a fresh start throughout our football operations, and with that in mind I spoke this morning with Doug Marrone to express my gratitude for his hard work over the past four seasons as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars.” said Jaguars owner Shad Khan.
“I’ll always appreciate Doug’s passion, grit and class, and I’m confident he will enjoy success in the next chapter of his career. As the search for our new general manager continues, now the quest begins to find a head coach who shares my ambition for the Jacksonville Jaguars and our fans, whose loyalty and faith are overdue to be rewarded.”
The Jaguars will have a lot to look forward to despite the horrific season. They have guaranteed themselves the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, and our likely to draft the QB of their future Trevor Lawrence.
