Doug Marrone (Jacksonville Jaguars)

This Jaguars team was in the AFC championship last year. They had every right to have high expectations this season given the wealth of talent on their roster. For them to have crashed and burned so spectacularly is not a good reflection on Marrone. Especially when he’s supposed to be an offensive specialist and it’s the offense that is the primary source of the issues.

Blake Bortles is a lost cause. The running game can’t get on track. None of the receivers they’ve added are helping. It’s all one big mess. Given how competitive Tom Coughlin is, it stands to reason that he may not wait long to make a change. This roster is too talented to be playing at this level. If Marrone isn’t up to the task, he’ll find somebody who is.
