Two regimes later, Syracuse still has some of Doug Marrone’s fingerprints on it

In mid-September of this year, Dan and I declared that Doug Marrone was an “Absolute MaJAGcian” and praised the Jacksonville Jaguars as the odds-on Super Bowl favorite in the AFC. Three months later, the Jags are 4-9 and have won just a game since. We obviously cursed them. May we never utter the phrase “MaJAGcian” again...

Despite Marrone’s team struggling this year (he even fired Nathaniel Hackett six or seven years after some of you wanted him to), they still did numerous things well, and with a new quarterback, they could be right back atop the AFC South come next year.
