If you throw your Offensive Coordinator under the bus in a press conference following a loss, chances are you will be fired in pretty short order. Things aren't looking good for Jack Del Rio's future at the helm of the Jacksonville Jaguars coming off another loss at 3-7 (1-5 on the road). The ballsy move of cutting his better than ok QB David Garrard (and ECU alum) right before the season started raising eyebrows back in August, but I didn't think it would be a surrender flag. Andy Reid would never throw one of his guys under the bus, and Jack Del Rio has got to be able to straighten up his play caller.
Chalking up the loss to a rookie QB is an easy way out, but I'm not buying anything less than JDR is doing a lackluster job coaching the team. It's a common problem throughout the NFL, as you always have a half dozen or so teams on the market looking for a new coach at the end of every season. This year the Jaguars will get in line with the other teams looking for good leader, I'm just glad the Panthers and Colts won't be in line with em.
In other news, the Panthers and Colts will be playing in Indianapolis next week. My two favorite NFL teams will fight for a rare victory as both are having serious issues while being QB'd by a back-up and a rookie. Colts looking for their first win and the Panthers trying to figure out how to play football in the second half. Additionally, blood brothers John and Jim Harbaugh will meet on opposing sidelines next week in a big matchup of seemingly playoff teams. Their dad must be proud to watch gainfully employed head ball coaches doing it big on Sundys. Ravens vs. 49ers will be a good one to watch in another fabulous week of NFL football.
