When NFL.com’s Elloit Harrison wrote a piece last season, ranking NFL head coaches, there was a bit of outrage from Jacksonville Jaguars fans. How could Doug Marrone, who took a team not expected to compete for a wild card spot in the AFC South, let alone a division title, find himself ranked 14th amongst NFL elite?
Even I was a bit shocked to see Marrone, who did a solid job of playing no-nonsense football with a power running game and a stinging defense, chosen as a middle-of-the-pack guy at No. 14.
This past season, Marrone and the Jaguars endured a season of disbelief with injuries and, well you have read the issues from 2018.
