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.

Garrard has been a tease ever since he replaced Byron Leftwich as the team’s starting quarterback.
He is excellent at avoiding interceptions, but he struggles to consistently move the offense down the field. (Read More…)
