So according to some sources it’s being rumoured that the jags are signing George Warhop (offensive line) and Tim Walton (defensive backs)....
Seems odd to me seeing as we haven’t hired a OC yet?
U’d think the offensive coordinator might want to sign his own assistants

Looking pretty grim on the hire front. Maybe there a couple of hobos under a bridge somewhere to appoint?

Well kubiak went to the Vikings and Monken to browns....Bevell and the hobos are the only ones left.

However, Sources say the jags are about to hire Terry Robiskie as RBs coach

Well ladies and gents (and all the rest) we have our OC; John DeFilipo!!!
Actually really happy with this hire compared to the other candidates that were left! I know he had an awful run in minesota last year but I’ll take him over McCoy and the hobos (sorry guys) any day of the week!
This has led to speculation we are looking to acquire Nick Foles as our starter. DeFilipo was widely credit in helping Foles as QB coach in philly’s run to the super bowl.
Jags have also signed Alex McGough to a reserves/future contract. Again, love this signing and hope he pushes Kessler out of back up position.

Tom Coughlin defends extending Blake Bortles a year ago

A year ago, flush with excitement over making the AFC Championship Game, the Jaguars gave quarterback Blake Bortles a $54 million extension.

This week, they got rid of the quarterback and the contract, leaving a $16.5 million pile of contractual ashes in the form of dead money on the salary cap.
And yet, Jaguars executive Tom Coughlin was compelled to defend it.

It was the right thing to do,” Coughlin said of the extension, via Phillip Heilman of the Florida Times-Union. “The guy took us to the AFC Championship Game, and there wouldn’t have been anybody that would have disputed the fact that he deserved the opportunity and we played well behind him.”

Actually, Coughlin probably could have found someone to dispute that. Bortles was a classic case of helping a team to the playoffs without leading a team to the playoffs, largely by getting out of the way and letting their defense take the lead. He had his moments, and wasn’t completely incompetent, but there’s a reason the Jaguars ditched him in favor of Nick Foles.

Certainly, letting Bortles play out 2018 on his fifth-year option was an option, since their books would have been clear now. But the Jaguars bet on Bortles. And lost. And now they get to continue to account for cap space for him, a heavier burden than the flimsy justification Coughlin offered.

Jaguars coach Doug Marrone has been informed that he'll be fired following Week 17's game with the Colts.
PFT's Mike Florio and the Jaguars have denied the report. Marrone's three-plus seasons as Jacksonville's coach have been largely unsuccessful, posting a 21-28 record (.429 win percentage) going into Week 17. The Jaguars have been in steep decline since Marrone led them to the 2017 conference championship. Marrone is the definition of replacement-level with a draconian style that clashes with today's NFL. If Marone is ultimately let go, the question becomes whether the Jaguars also fire GM Dave Caldwell.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Jaguars ownership will meet with coach Doug Marrone Tuesday.
There were reports over the weekend that Marrone was informed he would be fired following the Week 17 game, but co-owner Tony Khan vehemently denied those reports via Twitter. The Khans will meet with Marrone tomorrow and move forward with a decision. It would be a surprise if Marrone gets another shot, but crazier things have happened. GM Dave Caldwell also shouldn't be getting too comfortable.
