There’s a new job opening on the block, and it’s because of a former Buffalo Bills bench boss.
Doug Marrone has been fired by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Monday, according to ESPN’s Adam Schfter. Marrone, 58, had been in Jacksonville since 2015 and was the team’s head coach since 2016.
The Jags finished the 2020 NFL season with a 1-15 record. Astonishingly, the Jaguars actually won their season opener and went on to lose 15-straight games. Overall, Marrone was 23-43 as the Jags coach, which included a 10-6 record in 2017. That year saw Jacksonville make it to the AFC Championship Game.
With his two seasons in Buffalo included, Marrone was 38-60 overall as a head coach.
Last month, Dave Caldwell was fired as general manager in Jacksonville which makes Marrone’s firing less surprising. However, it is the first time Marrone was fired. In 2014 with the Bills, he stepped down from his job, he was not fired.
The Jaguars is a very attractive job at this time because they are on the clock. Jacksonville officially has the No. 1 overall pick at the upcoming 2021 NFL Draft following the conclusion of the regular season on Sunday.
