Jags want to interview Eberflus

[Restinpeacesweetchloe]

 

[GoColts8818]

Sure,  I mean he was up for jobs last year.  He’s probably going to get one at some point.

[pgt_rob]

How about no

[chad72]

Matt, don't go, not to that organization. If the Bears come calling, go right away but not to the Jags, they will always crash and burn eventually.  

 

Truthfully, the Jags would benefit from an offensive minded coach like Doug Pederson, to be honest.

[Superman]

Cool.

Has a team ever declined such a request?

 

Surely this is meant for after the season is over.

They just changed the rule to allow teams with a HC vacancy to request interviews in the final two weeks of the season, rather than during the playoffs. It's up to the person being requested to decline the interview.

[richard pallo]

Caldwell is a perfect fit IMO.

[richard pallo]

I hope Eberfus goes somewhere.  I would love Schwartz here.

Wasn’t he close to signing with the Texans until Culley became their guy?  Interesting to see how it unfolds.

We all know that is short lived....lol.

[Four2itus]

Should make a lot of folks happy. There is a * ton of blame laid at his doorstep in the last couple of years. 

 

Personally very happy for his opportunity.

The Jaguars need an offensive coach to help Lawrence

Peterson and Caldwell are being interviewed. Both would be great for him. Bad for the colts lol.

[jskinnz]

Leftwich seems the natural choice. 

[IrsaysArmy]

I’d rather not see Eberflus go. He has had this defense playing dominant many times this season. Still confused why he did try something different in Baltimore but whatever 

[Moe]

Seems like the same song and dance with him every year, why does it take half the season to make adjustments?

[CR91]

Flus really wanna deal with that nightmare of an organization?

His past will probably keep him from getting a HC job

There has to be something there that makes football people not like him.  He’s been too good too long to not get a chance.  Maybe it’s his race but I doubt it’s just that.

I don't think it's his race. I think owners/GMs look for certain intangibles when they're hiring, and for whatever reason, Bienemy isn't checking those boxes. I also think some of those intangibles and gut feeling decisions are nonsense, and lead to bad decisions. Like Urban Meyer.

 

I also think, for some decision makers, Bienemy's past is too big of a red flag. Not for all teams, but some who won't touch him.

Yeah I am thinking more along your lines.  I don’t really think it’s his race either.  I think it’s something else probably exactly what you laid out.

Bieniemy has done some disgusting things in his distant past but when you see that scumbag Urban Meyer getting an NFL HC job and not Bieniemy, it gets a little fishy. The NFL's not a place where morals are taken into consideration, unfortunately.

What terrible thing did Urban do?

[Les Poulains]

As for Eberflus, I've never been a massive critic of him, but isn't Ballard responsible for our defensive philosophy, anyway? If so, you'd trust Ballard to know what he'd be looking for in a replacement.

 

I'm not sure it's the worst thing in the world if he gets a big job.

Google his legal troubles

Covered up for that piece of filth coach at Ohio St. for one. 

 

Edit: his name is Zach Smith.

I can’t stand Urban Meyer but I highly doubt he’s the first or even the only coach to cover for star players. Infact, it’s been well known and for some reason I will never understand, the NCAA doesn’t come down on this stuff very hard. 

[Happy2BeHere]

There is no way that the jaguars will hire Eberflus. There is also no way they will hire a defensive minded coach. Book it! It will be an offensive minded coach period.

To be fair Lawrence is no where near as polished of a player at his first or second year as was Luck or Manning…

Let’s make it a more manageable list. Tell us the good things he’s done.

There are some reports that he didnt interview well for head coaching jobs

 

Not sure if they actually know something or just speculation, some reporters put that out there though

He quit on at least 2 college programs, "retiring" citing health & family reasons only to coach again somewhere else.

If they had hired an offensive minded coach in 2012, maybe we don't have 3 different coordinators in Luck's first five years. Maybe he doesn't get pummeled his first four seasons. 

 

But establishing that continuity -- even if your OC takes another job -- has some value. Ultimately, should probably just focus on hiring the best guy, but if I had to bet I'd put money on it being an offensive minded coach.

He would work well with Lawrence. He’s shown to be a pretty good coach and a natural leader.

[chickenMan]

I would love it if he said no lol. That being said, is the Jags at all a desirable job right now? Sure you have Trevor Lawrence and a patient owner, but not much else. And at this point you’d be trying to fix Lawrence as much as you’d be trying to develop him. Doesn’t sound like an easy situation to succeed in.

Maybe scares off people that the last OC for the Chiefs was Matt Nagy

What did Bienemy have?
