BREAKING:Coaching Carousel: Mularkey to the Jaguars

Mike Mularkey
((ht: jacksonville.com))

The Jacksonville Jaguars have apparently hired the third coach in team history. That man is now former Atlanta Falcons offensive coordinator and former Buffalo Bills head coach Mike Mularkey.

Mularkey had been with the Falcons for 3 seasons and has been credited with the development of QB Matt Ryan. That development many consider stunted though due to the Falcons lack of performance in the NFC Playoffs during that time.

Jacksonville.com gives us the full story RIGHT HERE

This should be interesting as Mularkey had generally been considered an effective head coach despite a 14-18 record in Buffalo and his success in Atlanta. Though as we mentioned earlier, there had been growing sentiment that he'd become stale with the Falcons, a team with loads of offensive talent that has generally underdelivered/performed during his tenure.

Mularkey takes over officially from the fired Jack DelRio who ironically has been mentioned as a potential replacement for departed Falcons defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder. Defensive coordinator Mel Turner had been the interim coach
