Jacksonville Jaguars Fire Jack Del Rio

PrintThe news has broken this morning that the Jacksonville Jaguars have fired Jack Del Rio. This is a sad day for Titans' fans because Del Rio is a bad coach who was constantly making terrible decisions. You need look no further than his decision to let David Garrard go so late in the game this season for evidence. Defensive coordinator Mel Tucker will be the interim coach.
It will be interesting to see what Tucker does with Blaine Gabbert. They ran him out there too early and benched him last week for Luke McCown. The smart thing to do would probably be just let Gabbert have these last five games for the experience.
Part of his problem is that he doesn't have any weapons around him. I am not sure that Gabbert will ever be a franchise quarterback, but there are few guys who could make it work with the receivers that he has right now.

To see if Mel Tucker shows signs of being a good head coach.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
WHY couldn’t Weaver have seen that Del Rio had a rookie QB with no weapons and given him a mulligan on this year?!
I’m guessing we’re going to hear a lot about Jeff Fisher in connection to this opening, but don’t anticipate him going to Jacksonville unless he has an axe to grind (aw, there’s something else to miss about Del Rio!) with Bud. I see Fisher in San Diego or Philly should Reid not make it.

I don't know why he would have an axe to grind with Uncle Bud....
hell, he let him do whatever he wanted to.

I agree with Fisher in San Diego
I’ve been saying this for some time.
Bahahahahaha
I am actually really surprised it took so long… but mid-season? They are just a franchise of ’Can’t Get Right’s’

Yeah, exactly.
With only 5 games remaining, that’s the puzzling part. I guess it really didn’t sit well with Weaver that JDR pulled the rookie.
The Force is with you, young SkyLocker, but you are not a Jedi... yet!
Yeah, karma's a bummer, dude.
He fired his starting QB at an awkward time….so….he GETS fired at an awkward time. What goes around comes around.

then again Garrard
had to have back surgery, thats why the raiders didn’t pick him up.
but they still shoulda ir’d him or let him go earlier
Well, that's that.
Sorry to see a bad coach leave, hopefully they will just hire another bad one.

Jaguars-Fisher talk day one.
With Fisher wanting to get back into the league coaching, i expect pft and cbs and etc. to start the Fisher watch. Firing the head coach now cant help ticket sales which arent there. Despite firing him, they wont finish last in the South, that how bad the colts are.
Oh hai MCM

One reason this will never happen.
Jacksonville hates Fisher ever since he said that their field was a “home field” advantage for the Titans.

It would be ironic though, wouldn't it?
If they do hire him, the visit to Jacksonville for the Titans would suddenly become a helluva lot more interesting.

More likely the Jaguars to Los Angeles talk.
take it to the bank, this will be a big off season topic.
Darn, but guys should we really be scared of Fisher coming to Jacksonville?
He is a good coach, but extremely conservative and we were always mediocre with him at the realm. Wouldn’t we want that to happen in Jacksonville?
GO TITANS!!!

L.A. Jaguars
If the Jags move to L.A. In 2013 or 2014 they would probably be placed in the AFC West and Kansas City would take their place in the AFC South. But that puts all 3 California teams in the AFC West so the NFL might do some major shifting.
Kinda reminds me of the Astros moving to the AL....:-(
God forbid!!

Hey, I root for the Rockets as long as they're NOT playing my Spurs.
And I enjoyed cheering for them back in the day when they had Olajuwon, Drexler & Kenny Smith. That 1995 team was a great team.

More likely Jags move to the NFC West and the Rams would move in the AFC South. Dont see them breakiing up Kansas City and the rivalries with Broncos and Raiders.

doubt it would be the Rams
they arent very ‘south’ but its really the only option. but i definitely agree they would never break up the AFC West.
Oh yeah
I totally overlooked the NFC for some reason. Absolutely makes sense to move St. Louis. It’s definitely more southern than Indie. Good for Titans and good for the AFC. Flushes out all the horrid cat expansion teams. I hope the new owner changes the name/colors with the move. Complete rebranding.
I think that's too big of a change right after solving a lockout.
The NFL might advice the Jags to stay in Jacksonville for a while.

Well I was hoping that they'd keep him a little longer.
He really seemed to butcher handling tough QB situations and this firing was definitely warranted. I’m shocked they didn’t promote Dirk Koetter to interim head coach though.
The next major watch will be if Gene Smith is retained. The Del Rio firing ensures Gabbert will get a new coordinator next year, a Smith release would mean a new GM bringing in his own guys.

Can we officially switch to the Jim Caldwell watch
Assumings he’s gone, who would have thought 2 years ago that Kubiak would be the only coach remaining in the division.

And....if the Texans do NOT make the playoffs this year....
he’ll be gone, too.

man, Peyton Manning really screwed things up this year in the AFC South!
1. Colts are 0-11
2. David Garrard needs back surgery and is released by JAC
3. Blaine Gabbert is horrible and so are the JAGS
4. Matt Schaub is out for the year
5. Matt Leinart fills in for him and he too is out for the year
6. Texans collapse behind 3rd stringer T.J. Yates
7. Titans win the division with a win over HOU in the final game of the season
Thanks a lot Pey Pey

I think its all but a certainty that Caldwell will be gone.
I don’t think even Bill Belichick could survive a 0-16 year.

the team is going to be sold...
I could see the team being shipped off to LA by the end of next year. The Arab dude who bought the team has an “affinity” for the area, but he’ll realize that the money’s in Los angeles by season’s end
jags are gonna come after fisher HARD next year

Hopefully after the Colts fire Jim Caldwell, they hire JDR
that way he can ruin the Luck era.
