This is bad news for Colts fans, because we need them to beat Tennessee in week 16 as part of our recipe to get into the playoffs. Looks like Jacksonville is giving up on the season, but I guess I can't blame them.

Damn. That was quick.

After that last game, the owner must have grabbed Gus by the arm, threw him into his office, said, "Get out of my house!" Then grabbed him by the arm again and threw him out.

Maybe they'll play better for an interim coach?  At least the Jags are at home.  I am not holding my breathe though.

Man that was quick! Jags might play better now??

intra-season firings are rarely a wise move

Hopefully we follow them at seasons end and fire ours!

Well they are a 4% chance of beating Tennessee now where as before it was a 0% chance!

4% is better than 0

In this case it makes sense.  This signals that Jags are focusing on ensuring the best draft position possible. Bad news for Colts playoff chances next week.  But we brought it on ourselves.

It is starting to become "cool" to fire your coach early when you know he is a dead man walking because you can get a head start on the search for your next coach.

As I was saying a few weeks ago...Tom Coughlin, Jim Mora and Marty Schottenheimer walk into a bar in Jacksonville........

I've read that the Jaguars next head coach might be Mike Smith.

The Titans were probably going to beat them regardless.

Interesting, but the question is does Mike Smith want Jacksonville?

So you're tellin me there's a chance?!

 

I would not be at all surprised to see the Jags beat the Titans if for no other reason than this entire season has been difficult to predict week-to-week.

Nah, I thought it was over after we lost to Houston and still do but I guess anything can still happen. The Titans should have no problem with Jacks and I also think they take care of Houston and win the Division now. I doubt we beat Oakland anyway, I see us 8-8. It isn't 6-10 or 10-6 but right in the middle of that.

Exactly RMDY. He should remain on the Tampa Bucs staff with J. Winston at the helm. Better offers will come his way once the pirates make the playoffs in a season or 2. 

 

I even heard rumors that Tom Coughlin is in the interview rotation for that job again.
