Follow up question: “Well Jack, which one of your coaches is responsible for calling time outs?”

im a jags fan and i was DISGUSTED! we didnt run the ball on the final play. we have the best running back in the NFL and u dont give it to him. i want del rio gone.

Best running back in the nfl? Smoke one for me pal.

Ps. If I was an NFL owner this would cross Del Rio off the list for ANY vacancy on my team. This guys trying to save his own a s s and tosses his OC under the bus. Absolutely no leadership qualities. Leaders share the love when it goes right and take the blame when it goes wrong.

As a Browns fan, it’s great that someone else is more incompetent for a change!!

Tomorrow they build team spirit by having everyone take a few swings at Koetter with an axe handle.

Del Ego has made a career of throwing coordinators under the bus. Basically every year he fires his staff and claims the team’s bad performance was their fault.

The bad news for Jack is that owner Wayne Weaver can’t possibly put up with his “blame the other guy” mentality much longer.

This immediately made me think of the meeting with the Bobs scene from Office Space.

So what would you say….ya do here?

This was hilarious. Bad coaches all day throwing players and other coaches under the bus. Do you know how many beer commercials will come out of this week alone?

Typical Del Rio, blame everyone else just to keep saving his own azz. The guy has never been HC material, I’m just surprised he has lasted this long, guess all that butt-kissin’ does work.

Wow. I’m not a Jags fan, but I can’t believe I use to like Del Rio as a coach.

I have ZERO respect for Del Rio already…throwing his coaches under the bus makes it a negative #.
Does he have pictures of Weaver in compromising positions with monkeys or something???

Hit the road Jack…….. Longest tenured coach in the HISTORY of the NFL to never win a division title!! I just hope the new HC is offensive minded and also decides to keep Tucker.

Anybody watching could see it was a failure of coaching that put them in a desperate position to begin with by burning time and a lack of efficiency not learned in practice, followed by a not-bad call but too weak a front line and a rushed final pass into traffic. Even if Koetter called the play, the HC can input at anytime and Gabbert and the receiver have to execute. The failure to coach the team into having more than a final, desperate pass is to blame and that’s the HC’s job.

Amazing that people are now seeing this guy for who he is. Look at how he has treated two qbs in his time here. He always sets someone up for the fall. A spineless douche.

Sounds as though he should get a pay cut if he’s only head coach for 1/2 the team. If I was Weaver I would give him half a paycheck and kick him out the front door.

He reminds me of John Fox last year. I think they both were surprised that they still have a job. They just don’t care what they say anymore. They know they’ll be fired at any moment.

I honestly did not see this season going so bad. It’s disappointing to say the least.
Gabbert will get better coaching in the new REgime.
He’s certainly not getting it now.

“Our offensive coordinator calls the plays”

Famous last words.

This whole article is about being flabergasted that an offensive coordinator calls the plays and that the head coach didn’t lie about it to the media. Seriously??

Can you think of a worse coach who’s kept his job a longer time because the owner’s too cheap to get rid of him, lol? I mean, even Marvin Lewis has the “I work for the Bengals” excuse.

In the pantheon of bad coaches who kept their jobs for more than 3 years in the face of continuous mediocrity or worse, I can only compare this dope to Norv turner from his Redskin tenure, which probably could be explained by the ownership turmoil of the late 90′s.

Even the bad coach of all bad coaches who kept his job way longer than he should have, Wayne Fontes, would make the playoffs every year to justify him coming back. The Jaguars have no such explanation for this one, except that the owner is cheap.

How Del Rio has a HC job is beyond me. And how he has managed to hang on to it for so long is, well, Flabbergasting!

What a weak move by Del Rio. He should be gone before he does more damage

By: swagjag

There should be a law against impersonating a head coach. I bet it was Koetter’s fault nobody called a timeout with 30 seconds on the clock so they could actually get a handoff to MJD from the 2 yard line too. Pass the blame Jack while you still can.

The JAX owner should have fired Del Rio before he boarded the plane to go home yesterday.
