Jaguars HC Doug Marrone on final roster cuts this week: ‘I think people who are immune to that are bullshitting’

If there’s one thing Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Doug Marrone has stayed consistent on during his tenure as head coach, it’s that he hates (and I mean hates) final roster cuts during the preseason.

Marrone, a former offensive lineman himself who bounced around a couple of NFL teams before a stint in Europe’s World League, knows the pain of being cut himself and knows that dwindling a roster down to 53 guys isn’t a video game — it’s real life consequences for over a thousand NFL players every year.

Speaking after practice on Sunday, Marrone had some choice words for coaches who don’t empathize with the dozens of players they’re cutting every August.
