Reports: Jaguars to Hire Gus Bradley

Gus Bradley/Seahawks.com
And the carousel quickly begins winding to a close.

Multiple outlets, including ESPN's Adam Schefter and Fox Sports say the beleaguered Jacksonville Jaguars have found a new head coach.

That man is now former Seattle defensive coordinator Gus Bradley. Details are still being ferreted out, but the announcement is expected to be made sometime Thursday.

Bradley brings a great resume as a defensive coach both in college and the pros, but the one thing lacking on it is Head Coaching experience. He was the interim head coach at Fort Lewis College, but that is it.

The Jaguars, who just hired David Caldwell to be their G.M are looking to recover from 2012's 2-14 season when the team was rarely competitive and the crowds continue to dwindle.

It will be very interesting to see how this move goes over in the football deprived town.

Developing: Mike Mularkey Fired from Jaguars

This probably is not much of a surprise to our Jacksonville friends and quite honestly, it wasn't a shock to us either.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have parted ways with Mike Mularkey after one 2-14 season as the teams head coach.

The team had fired former G.M Gene Smith a few weeks ago and announced David Caldwell as his replacement on Tuesday.

ESPN.com is already speculating on replacements, saying Caldwell would like to bring in pal and current San Francisco offensive coordinator Greg Roman or current Falcons defensive coordinator Mike Nolan to take over the floundering franchise.

Interest in Jaguars football has been waning and team owner Shad Khan has been frantically looking for ways to boost attendance. We, along with many, were shocked at the Mularkey hiring last season. We also might mention, whomever gets the job, may be dealing with the specter of Tim Tebow. The Jets backup QB has voiced his displeasure at the way he was used (or not) in New York and tons of rumors say he'll get his release or a trade in order to end up in Jacksonville where he is absolutely worshipped.

Stay tuned.
