Who will be the next Jacksonville Jaguars head coach? Doug Marrone fired after 15th consecutive loss
On Monday, December 4, Jacksonville Jaguars owner Shad Khan fired head coach Doug Marrone, a little more than 12 hours after the team suffered their 15th consecutive loss this season - a 28-14 loss to the Indianapolis Colts in the 2020 regular-season finale. Marrone took over as interim head coach late in the 2016 season and coached the Jaguars to the AFC Championship Game the following season. His ouster was not a very surprising move, considering the team’s performance this season.
"I am committed and determined to deliver winning football to the City of Jacksonville," Khan said in a statement. "Realizing that goal requires a fresh start throughout our football operations, and with that in mind, I spoke this morning with Doug Marrone to express my gratitude for his hard work over the past four seasons as the head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I'll always appreciate Doug's passion, grit, and class, and I'm confident he will enjoy success in the next chapter of his career.”
