When general manager David Caldwell announced the hiring of Gus Bradley to be the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2013, hopes were high. Bradley didn’t have a strong pedigree, but he had the look and demeanor of a good leader and he was the coordinator of some good defenses in Seattle.
No one could have predicted he would become statistically the worst head coach in the modern era of the NFL.
Consequently, new coach Doug Marrone has a very low bar to clear. He actually soared above it in the two games he served as the interim head coach, both of which were more competitive than almost all of Gus Bradley’s regular season contests.
