Jaguars’ owner Shad Khan: “After deliberation over many weeks and a thorough analysis of the entirety of Urban’s tenure with our team, I am bitterly disappointed to arrive at the conclusion that an immediate change is imperative for everyone….”

The Jaguars can begin interviewing coaches who are not currently employed by an NFL team right now. They can begin interviewing assistant coaches/coordinators on current NFL staffs as early as Tuesday, Dec. 28.

Zygi, make your move sooner rather than later...

This is what scares me. At one point or another, coaches like Meyer, Petrino, Nagy, Fangio, Rhule, etc, etc were seen as franchise saviors. I'm decidedly FOR moving on from Zimmer, but my God, be careful what you wish for. The failures far outnumber the successes.

I do agree and I doubt anybody has said it more often than me to dump him now and get the process started,  however I dont think it needs to be a rush decision, just more time afforded to a very important decision.  I also think any quality coaching candidates out there have to know that there will be at least a couple pretty good opportunities out there this year and they would be best served not to accept any offers early on until they know what other choices they might have.  With that said... Zimmers next loss should be his last,  regardless of why, how, who to blame, or any other excuse that has been made for him over the last several years.

And that leaves out last week Trevor Lawrence was asking the coaches to give more carries to James Robinson because Meyer insisted on playing his OSU boy Carlos Hyde over the better back.

Urban Meyer is a dick. Always has been. People have been putting up with this guy's shit for years. He's a horrible person.

Steve Spurrier is my favorite.  During his first preseason with Washington he blew away his opponents and ran up the stats and score only to find out that preseason success doesn't necessary translate into regular season success. :p =)

you and me both MB....

Do we get someone serviceable ala Zimmer? Or another Chilly???

Not sure how much I trust the Wilfs to make a good decision tbh. Hopefully their football acumen has grown over time. Key is to get the right GM to make the football decisions --- if they send RS to the street.

Oh my. I'm hoping and praying that the Wilfs aren't that stupid. Focus on the problem. And it ain't Rick. Are we losing because we just don't have any talent? LOL. No objective person would say yes to that. We're losing because we have a team that seems to piss down its leg when the going gets tough. That's in the head. Mental toughness, preparedness. That's on the HC. 

So many want to "clean house." Why? Because it would feel good? Good decision makers are able to identify where the problem is, and more importantly, where it ISN'T. I could go on for days about this so I'll just leave it at that.

Rick took a decade to figure out the OL was an issue. His drafting and trading have been ok at best. Name one other GM that has been in his position as long as Rick without at least a conference championship?
He is  the picture of mediocrity.

Not confident in Rick regarding picking qbs in the draft either.
