You have to consider the context, just like everything. The Jaguars had a GM, who also just got fired. So, it's not like an O'Brien situation where Marrone had sole discretion over personnel. Marrone took the Jags to a halftime lead against the Patriots in the AFC Championship game with Blake Bortles as QB. Then, in 2018, they dealt with injuries along with a regressing Bortles. In 2019, the GM traded away all of their Pro-Bowl type players. That's what you get. You will not succeed when your franchise decides to dump your best players and play for the #1 pick.

Regardless of the reasons for them sucking, he still hasn't proven all that much. Perhaps he is a good coach, but we don't really know because he had guys hurt and the GM traded away some of their good players. Maybe Bortles was just a bad QB, but his regression doesn't make Marrone look good, although he did get more out of Minshew than anybody thought. His Buffalo tenure briefly looked promising but was cut short because of his own doing. I just don't know how Tennessee goes down the unproven route at this point.

we still have a head coach.

we'll know one of two ways....either pruitt hires an assistant or two, or he's gonna get fired.

if hes' gonna get fired, i can't for the life of me figure out why he hasn't been yet.

which leads me to believe he isn't.

The investigation.. Evidently they can't even go to the bathroom, much less hire or fire people, until that's completed..

This.

Buncha faux insiders up in here. I don’t know how many times we have gone from he is definitely going to definitely staying and back to definitely going.

I will never understand the need to have e-cred to a bunch of people I don’t even know.

First repeat 2k rusher? I don't think he -can- but man I'd love to see him surpass Emmitt's career yardage. Sadly Henry's first 2 seasons here he didn't get anywhere near enough carries.

Got a loooooong way to go! Payton and then Smith built that record by remaining injury free and putting up elite numbers in seasons way past the normal RB shelf life.

What?

He averaged 4.5 & 4.2 per carry in those first 2 seasons, even with that lesser OL he still would have went north of 1k with ease if ya get him 225 (14 a game) carries. Instead he had 110 & 176, best thing to happen to Henry was Vrabel coming to town and realizing what he had.

He just would have split more carries with Murray, who had similar YPC numbers, especially that first year. Those O-lines just weren't good enough to get him going, and Murray was aging and losing his effectiveness.

The known is Pruitt sucks. You don’t give a crap head coach another year. I’d rather have an unknown.

Marrone was SLIGHTLY above average at Syracuse, that's the only college HC experience he's got... I mean I get where your coming from but I'd take another year of crap to save another 4-5 after it

Yeah, looking at the career leaders it's going to be nearly impossible to reach those numbers without clocking 10+ seasons. But if Henry can maintain his current production (5 YPC + 300 carries) he could be close in 10-12 years, he's such a rare breed at RB I'm not sure when we'll see him decline.

I guess our definitions of "proven" are a little different. Two bad organizations in the past 20 years. The NFL is built for parity, so aside from the Patriots, Colts, maybe Steelers, Packers, and Saints, you don't get sustained success. The common denominator with those franchises is a HOF QB. The average tenure for NFL coaches is very short.
