Early this morning, the Jacksonville Jaguars announced that Nathaniel Hackett was relieved of his duties as offensive coordinator. Later in his press conference, head coach Doug Marrone stated that this was not a “knee jerk” reaction and something he has been thinking about for a while.
In addition to expelling Hackett, Marrone also announced that he went to the executive office and spoke with Shad Khan and Tom Coughlin about wanting to bench Blake Bortles and start Cody Kessler for the upcoming home game against the Indianapolis Colts. Interestingly, that there is one key name missing from this statement, and even without reading between the lines from Marrone’s comments, it’s very likely that Dave Caldwell will also be dismissed on December 31st after their final game against the Houston Texans.
