Jacksonville Jaguars executive vice president of football operations, Tom Coughlin, and head coach Doug Marrone are two peas in a pod. Tough-nosed coaches with a no-nonsense approach to team building, they are complementary pieces.
For a franchise that desperately needs some tough love, it’s hard to find a better pair.
The return of Coughlin to Jacksonville has brought out the rose colored glasses and nostalgia, but it may not be his presence that has the most impact. Marrone, working in tandem, could be the key.
In discussing the Jags’ “winning the offseason” again, ESPN’s Sarah Barshop, who covers the Houston Texans, rightly highlighted Marrone as the true change agent.
