The Jaguars could be looking for a new coach in 2017.
If Vegas oddsmakers were handicapping Gus Bradley’s chances of survival, they would be under 50 percent. Perhaps, well under. The reasoning is simple — a 12-36 coach likely needs to win at least eight games this fall (maybe more) to earn a second contract.
With that in mind, the closure of the 2016 coaching carousel brought about good news for the Jaguars.
No, not just because Tennessee hired Mike Mularkey.
The key isn’t who got the seven open jobs, but who didn’t.
If the Jaguars do move on from Bradley, the coaching pool in 2017 will be deep, even without looking at any college coaches.
