The Jacksonville Jaguars have fired head coach Jack Del Rio after a lackluster performance against the Houston Texans.
Del Rio’s head has been on the chopping block for a couple of seasons now, but it is surprising to see him go in the middle of the year. He most recently came under fire when he tossed his offensive coordinator under the bus when criticized over the play-calling.
Del Rio was essentially set up for failure this year when the team opted to cut quarterback David Garrard at the end of training camp. It left the Jaguars with rookie quarterback Blaine Gabbert as their starter, giving them virtually no chance at competing for a playoff berth.

The good news for the Jacksonville Jaguars: four home games in the first six weeks of the 2010 schedule.
The not-so-good news: four road games in the final six weeks.
The National Football League has released game times and dates for the 2010 season. It’s hard not to notice the number of home games the Jags have at the start of the season, and how many road games they have at the finish.
Jacksonville begins 2010 at home against Denver on Sept. 12. A visit to AFC West champion San Diego is next, followed by two challenging home games: against Philadelphia and against AFC champion and AFC South rival Indianapolis. After a road trip to Buffalo, the Jags play at home again, on Monday Night Football Oct. 18 against Tennessee.
Two consecutive road games wrap up the first half of the season, with trips to Kansas City and Dallas. The bye week comes in week 9 on Nov. 7.
Jacksonville begins the second half with consecutive home games against Houston and Cleveland. Then the difficult finishing stretch, four road games in six games, commences.
It starts with trips to the New York Giants and Tennessee. Jacksonville returns home for a home game against Oakland on Dec. 12, followed by a visit to Indianapolis, the final home game against Washington, and the final game of the season, at Houston.

Five of the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 16 games this season will be against four teams that combined for 49 wins last season.
That’s why the Jags have one of the more difficult schedules in the National Football League in 2010.
The NFL has released the list of home games and road games for each of its teams. Dates and times will be announced later this spring.
The Jags look at a schedule that ranks fifth-toughest in the league, based on opponents’ winning percentage. A big reason why is a home-and-home with AFC champion and AFC South rival Indianapolis, a home game with NFC wild-card team Philadelphia, and road games at AFC West champion San Diego and NFC East champion Dallas.
Those four teams combined to go 49-15 last season.
Jacksonville also plays home games against Houston, Tennessee, Denver, Oakland, Cleveland and Washington. On the road, the Jags travel to Houston, Tennessee, Kansas City, Buffalo and the New York Giants.
