I don't really see the point in doing this now. Why not wait until after the season is over? There's really no way that they can come back and make it to the playoffs at this point anyway.

Been a long time coming. Gene Smith should be next, IMO. The LA Jags are beginning to become a reality.

From what I have heard, Mel Tucker's name has came up before in consideration for other HC spots, so JAX may get over on this.

Oh yeah, hi all!!!

9 years too late, apparently.

They finally cut the cord, they let him go. He's been there for I think 9 years, and it was a good run. Here's the article:

Annnnd now the teams for sale as well.. Big Day in the Jags FO.

Jack Del Rio has been fired by the Jags. See. Mr Irsay, it can be done during the season. Crummy head coaches get fired all the time during the season. That being said. How about Del Rio as our DC next season and Tressel OC and Fisher as HC?? Any thoughts??

Jack Del Rio was a terrible head coach, he should of been fired sooner.

Wrong section bro. NFL related not Colts

Well certainly none like that.....

Per ESPN:

Jaguars being sold to Shahid Khan and the Jags organization signs GM Gene Smith to a 3-year extension.

First thing I thought with JDR is that the guy is ripped (he was a LB after all). Probably the last NFL HC I'd want to get mad, lol.

[-JJ-]

I'd like to see him DC in NE:>
