Jaguars's revamped front office opts for continuity hiring Doug Marrone as head coach

Are two games enough for a coach to prove his worth? Is that a long enough time for a downtrodden team, seemingly on the verge of hitting the reset button, to reverse direction and stay the course instead?

Apparently, for the Jaguars, the answers are "yes" and "yes."

Jacksonville will remove the "interim" tag from Doug Marrone’s title and make him its head coach, per multiple reports. Also, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Jaguars will bring back former coach Tom Coughlin as executive VP of football operations and extend the contract of current GM David Caldwell.
