Tom Coughlin would be so proud. Why did the Jaguars keep both of these men aboard even after firing Tom Coughlin a year earlier? Because life is shit. But this offseason, owner and bumper magnate Shad Khan got serious and hired a new GM in Trent Baaaaaaaaaaaalke, and then snatched the hottest coaching candidate of off the market! Or the time Urban bailed on Florida because the Illuminati had implanted futuristic shock chips into his brainstem.
New senior VP Karim Kassam left the team after just three months on the job, which counts as a quaint bit of dysfunction compared to this :. Jaguars coach Urban Meyer says he's known new director of sports performance Chris Doyle for 20 years. Said he vetted the hire and said he's confident there will be no issues with Doyle, who left Iowa after numerous allegations of racist remarks and belittling players. That was Urban praising his own due diligence in hiring former Iowa squat rack tender and documented racist Chris Doyle to his staff, before letting Doyle resign a few days later and hoping everyone would forget about it.
And they did, right up until the moment a U. When Urban Meyer is your head coach, your next disgrace is only five minutes away. Good luck to new PR director Amy Palcic cleaning up all of his messes. Your quarterback: Trevor Lawrence, who gives off Blonde Wiley Wiggins vibes with that hair and that brother of his.
But trust me, Trevor Lawrence is a boring dipshit. Your backup is Gardner Minshew. Remember Minshewmania? I swear this country needs better things to do.
Only Urban Meyer and the Jaguars would sign him to use him. Tebow is currently listed as a tight end and is playing behind former Panthers Chris Manhertz, whose addition to the Jaguars this offseason counted as a major free agent signing for them. Call it Week 6. This team makes me not want to watch football. They make want to read books to pass the time instead. The Jaguars will be leaving in , and they will leave behind a legacy written in occasionally decent fantasy stats and afternoon blowouts presided over by Spiro Dedes.
Imagine if the Jaguars had never existed. Would your life be different in any appreciable way? The Jaguars exist as a needless tax on greater humanity. Their pro wrestling company, which has existed for exactly two years, is far more successful than they are. His offense was seen as too vanilla near the end of his time with the Packers, and he was nearly run out of town in Joining the Cowboys last year, McCarthy's squad was one of the most disappointing teams of at , but part of the issues were injury-related.
The team expects him to turn things around this year with an uber-talented core, or he might not last until the end of the season. Mike Zimmer, Vikings Zimmer led a consistent Minnesota defense and made three playoff appearances in his first six seasons with the team, but last year was a sign that the wheels could be coming off.
The defense struggled after losing significant talent, and Minnesota finished the year at Another losing year from Zimmer could earn him a pink slip. Jon Gruden, Raiders Gruden came out of the Monday Night Football broadcast booth in after 10 years away from coaching, but his team is only in three seasons.
While the Raiders have improved with each season, they seem no closer to a championship with a defense that continues to struggle. While Gruden has made five playoff appearances and won one Super Bowl in his 14 seasons as a head coach, he's only four games above. Matt Nagy, Bears Nagy has received his fair share of criticism since he was hired in , but it's somewhat remarkable that he's yet to have a losing season in three years in spite of the team's quarterback issues.
Chicago hopes those problems are solved after drafting former Ohio State star Justin Fields, giving the former offensive coordinator Nagy more options in the playbook. His team has shown flashes in two seasons, improving to last year with Kyler Murray continuing to develop at quarterback. The expectations are much higher in Kingsbury's third season, with his job possibly on the line if Arizona fails to make the playoffs.
Matt Rhule, Panthers Rhule came from the college ranks to go for a rebuilding Panthers squad last year. The team did remain competitive in most games despite some major injuries, and Rhule is now betting on former Jets draft bust Sam Darnold to get Carolina back to its winning ways.
Joe Judge, Giants New York's unexpected hire earns an incomplete after his first season as head coach, going in with an injury-plagued team. The Giants were aggressive in free agency during the offseason and will be expecting much better things in Judge's second year.
The success could be riding on the development of quarterback Daniel Jones in his third season. Vic Fangio, Broncos Fangio waited until age 61 for his first head coaching job, and it's been a tough go in two seasons thus far. The Broncos have had back-to-back losing seasons with poor quarterback play and major injuries. The roster is talented going into his third season, but there remain questions at quarterback that have made the job so difficult already.
The results through two seasons have been bad, with only six wins, but the team's young offensive talent looks promising, led by Joe Burrow. Now in his third season, Taylor faces the pressure to make a huge jump with a squad that was aggressive in free agency. New Hire: Dan Campbell, Lions Campbell held the interim head coach title with Miami in , going after replacing Joe Philbin, but the Lions are his first chance at his own team.
The job couldn't be much more difficult, with a roster that has been stripped of most of his talent and a defense that ranked dead last in Good luck. New Hire: David Culley, Texans The good news is that Culley finally got his long-earned head coaching opportunity this year at age The bad news is that it's the Texans. The organization was left in shambles by the last regime, with little cap space or draft capital, and Deshaun Watson's off-field issues have complicated matters even more.
The long-time offensive assistant in the Andy Reid coaching tree has his work cut out for him. New Hire: Urban Meyer, Jaguars Meyer is one of the best college football coaches ever, but he's already made some unforced errors since the Jaguars hired him this offseason.
Most notable was the hiring of former Iowa strength coach Chris Doyle, who was fired from the school for allegedly making racist remarks toward players. Jacksonville has already moved on, and is hoping the team can forget quickly due to improved play on the field.
New Hire: Robert Saleh, Jets Saleh was seen as a home run hire by the Jets after building an elite 49ers defense, but he has a tough rebuild with the Jets coming out of the struggling Adam Gase days.
He will be developing a team that goes into with a lot of holes but hopes rookie quarterback Zach Wilson can be a bright spot. The former Colts offensive coordinator has a tall task with Jalen Hurts at quarterback and an impatient fanbase that has seen an elite team turn south quickly.
