Doug Marrone named Jacksonville Jaguars interim coach

The Jacksonville Jaguars made the move everyone was waiting for on Sunday after a loss to the Houston Texans, firing head coach Gus Bradley. For some reason, they waited to announce who the interim coach would be even though almost nobody expected anyone other than Doug Marrone – that assertion was confirmed on Monday.

Toiling away as the offensive line coach for the last 2 season, Marrone is best known for unceremoniously leaving the Buffalo Bills after a winning season despite putting up a winning record. Marrone went 15-17 overall in two season with the Bills and he made a foolish gamble by leaving the team in order to secure a “better” job.
