Maybe in JV high school. Mike Smith (current Falcons coach) and Mel Tucker ran the defenses during the Jags good years of D. When Jack ditched Gregg Williams and tried to coach most of the D himself, the defense was flat out terrible, one of the worst in the league. Weaver had to tell him to stop interfering with the defense. Yes. The owner told Del Rio to stay away from the defense. And now they are #4 in the league.

You still want this guy coaching your defense? Be careful what you wish for.

I seem to recall him firing Garrard unceremoniously a couple days before the season began. That was a CHOICE Jack Del Rio made. A poor one. And part of a familiar pattern of poor decisions.

I don’t know if we can hang the decision to draft Gabbert around JDR’s neck or not. But the decision to throw him to the wolves was entirely JDR’s.

Sorry, Jack. You wear nice suits, and you say the right things in interviews, but to keep a head coach gig in the NFL you at least need to win more games than you lose.

Maybe Del Rio knew this and saved a 6 mill or so salary when he knew the inevitable was coming, which was Gabbert playing.

Took a big man linebacker to mess on a little ex-wide out older guy.

Del Rio is a punk, was a punk and is not coach-worthy. Go blame others chump.

It was his decision to get did of Garrard. He was on the hot seat and knew he had to do something to spark his team. It worked for him in 07 when he got rid of Leftwich so he decided to try it again and failed. He may have also ruined Gabbart’s confidence and his chances of becoming an NFL QB. I’ve been waiting to read this report since they fired Coughlin.

So what are you saying?
That he’s so bad he lost one game twice?

I always thought they were the 2nd worst in the league behind you know who.

Like Billy P said…if they want you to cook the dinner they should at least let you buy the groceries.

If JDR was the last say in the draft room then he needs to go back to being a D-Coordinater.

Blaine Gabbert – looks to be the next David Carr
Tyson Alualu – who???
Eugene Monroe – we will see, off to a rough start
Derrick Harvey – Jaguars longest holdout ever and now is a backup in Denver
Reggie Nelson – a Bengal
Matt Jones – hahahahahahahahah
Reggie Williams – hangs with Pacman Jones

This year he was doomed to fail. He was forced to start an over-rated rookie quarterback with a sub-par support system.

Probably good for Del Rio to get out of Jacksonville. He may not be the best coach in the league, but he is far from bottom tier.

I have never been so happy to hear of someone losing his job.
================================
He’s no Bernie Fine. But if it makes you happy, good for you.

As for the Gabbert drafting and cutting of Garrard, why no blame for Gene Smith on that one? Del Rio should have been fired after last season. Again, the cheap owner didn’t want to pay for a season of Del Rio not coaching.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. Del Rio was a punk when he was a player, a punk as a coach, and now a punk without a job.
*************************************************
You remember him playing, do you?

I know I do and even though he played for the Chiefs and I’ve always been a Raider fan, I admired the way he played.

Punk player my arse.

Gabbert looks worse than Dalton, and appears to be one of the worst starters in the league…there is also no wide receiver talent on offense. This team is several years away from winning and may as well just move out of town to L.A.

Bres’s playcalling is terrible and has given up a ton of big plays.

For example, 3rd & 10, Bres blitzes EVERYONE and that Chi QB tosses a quick pass for a 40yd TD. I saw tthat presnap. Bres should go coach the HS kids. Not NFL.
