The Jacksonville Jaguars went from 3-13 to one bad half of football away from the Super Bowl — with the same quarterback, largely the same defense, and missing their No. 1 wide receiver due to injury. Their offensive and defensive coordinators remained the same and the staff behind them went unchanged, for the most part.
So what changed?
Doug Marrone became the permanent head coach.
This past season was a complete 180 in terms of on-the-field performance and one of the few changes was the head coach — but it still wasn’t enough to warrant putting Marrone in the top 10 of head coaches in the NFL.
