The terrible punt coverage and occasional poor kick coverage got a lot of (negative) attention for the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016. It felt like every time Brad Nortman took the field the Jags may do something stupid that gave momentum to the other team.
This led to fair accusations against then-head coach Gus Bradley and his decision to keep special teams coordinator Mike Mallory on staff. How does Mike Mallory still have a job? we asked in December, naively hoping that the Jags would make a change mid-season that could turn the special teams unit into something special; or at least just mitigate the severe problems that Mallory oversaw.
