And if the jaguars reaching the playoffs; I think it will be he or Sean Peyton.

If the Jaguars reach 8-8 he will get some votes; but I think he will finish 3rd; 4th ; around that(just like in 2007) I think these 3 games will give the answer about this question; if the Jags will win 2 (and I add Cleveland; and maybe; a strong maybe the Colts game) I tink he will be the 2nd behind Sean Peyton.)
13 rookies; 27 new guys -Come from an 0-2 start(since then we are 6-2!!!).
I think Gene collected the good material; we don’t discuss who had what in last week ( i mean off field issues); we dicussing about Torry Holt is the 2nd WR coach; Sean Considine is stepping up; when he needed the most; etc.
This week MSW said he will stay in his hotel room; and Groves will pay a driver to the airport(Instead of Reggie Williams and his guns and Jerry Porter’s new car of the week; sure this topics are 1000% better for me)!!!!
Jack is good with young talent; he showing this wih the rookies. I gave him credit for that.
Plus the Jaguars have luck/were best at crunchtime lately.We can stand 4-6 or worse; very easily.. but no we are at 6-4; on the driving seat for the wildcard at Thanksgiving.
This record come from many pars; many little (but Important) components. Is that all Jack’s success? NO. Is he doing a better job this year then in 2008? YES
Is he the best HC of 2009? Most likely NO Is he deserving the COTY award if the Jaguars reach the playoffs: Absolutely Yes!

By the way: do you remeber which team’s coaching stuff were at he Senior Bowl ? Bengals; Jaguars. Many people called for Marvin Lewis and Jack Del Rio’s head last year. One of them will be most likely in the playoff(Lewis) and one have a pretty good shot to do that(Del Rio)
So Patience sometimes pays off very quickly…

OFF: Is anyone upset too that today’s “Jaguars This Week” was cancelled???
I know tomorrow is Thanksgiving in the US(Happy Thanksgiving to all BCC readers who celebrate that today-Here is already Thursday); but I think the most important Jaguars radioshow on WOKV (besides the game) cannot do a no-show; right now. Or I’M alone with ht thought?

At the beginning of the season, we all knew JDR had a few years left on his contract. When the team went 0-2, the fans were calling for his head. All of a sudden, now that the team is 6-4, Were talkin’ about coach of the year? Is that what it takes… Zero to hero? I personally have been satisfied with what JDR has done so far.

That game will tell me all I need to know.

I think this is too early yet; but yeah his name is starts to pop (with Lewis; Payton; Childress; and Caldwell-but INdy’s success is on Peyton I’M rule him out

Not because I don’t like Jack but because the disparity is too wide and the bar was set so low. I can’t help but think this is more about what they thought as opposed to what they knew. If that is how the process works then JDR is in the mix. If the loses were closer (see AZ, Sea and TN) then this would make more sense. He has still done a solid job of making this team competitive and at the very least their the best of the bottom 16 in the league. How much of it goes to Gene for bringing in kids that can be coached as opposed to the coaching and can you even separate the two? What a great story line and even better that we can discuss it. Good year so far.

but apparently Firefox thought it sucked, because it crashed on me. So I’ll abbreviate it a bit and just say this:
I love JDR. He’s the right coach for this football team, but he is no Coach of the Year.

Ever since the Seattle debacle I have believed that Jack needed to go, he seemed to have given this team, city, and fans all that he could, and I don’t think that has changed, yet. Now with that said I have been very impressed with how our boys boys been playing of late, and I think Jack has improved from the beginning of the year. However, we can’t say that Jack is coach of the year just because of a few wins. IF Jack can get us to the playoffs, and IF we win MORE than one playoff game, and ONLY then should Jack be considered for coach of the year.
       In addition, these past few wins haven’t been the greatest coaching we have seen, the Jets and Bills game were WAY too close for comfort. The second half of the Jets was brutal for our offense, but I blame “genius” Dirk for his TERRIBLE play calling in the second half. As for the Bills game it wasn’t pretty all on offense except on the final drive, yet the best part of that game is the defense.
     I think that the coach that should be getting praise is Mel Tucker. The switch from 3-4 to 4-3 has been a night and day difference. The boys on defense are actually getting sacks, INTs, and are stuffing the run pretty well. Even our pass defense has been a great improvement, Considine has surprised the hell out of me, and I just hope he can keep this up. Once we get Mathis back our secondary could be a feared corp once again.

Starts off slow but gets very good:

He calls the “run downs” which are 1st & 10, and 2nd 1-6. First 12 of those plays are scripted, based upon a Thursday night consensus decision. Wasn’t sure where to post this, but I think it’s quite an insight.

Limousine ridin, Jet flyin, kiss stealin, wheelin and dealin son of a gun. Woooo. (Sorry, I just wanted to do that)

win 4 and you’re in, 10-6 should do it in the AFC. We have to have tiebreakers on our side, however, and have some luck head our way.
-Better conference record than Denver, Pittsburgh, and Baltimore
-Head to head vs. Houston, one game to play
-Potential head to head vs. Miami
So really it boils down to the AFC games that are of critical importance. Is this game a throwaway? Absolutely not, SF is pissed and looking to get back into the playoff chase, and anybody remember the last time we headed west? Yeah, I’m sure the players do too.
Point? Del Rio HAS to make the playoffs to keep his job. Period. 9-7 and a 7 seed isn’t going to do it. That said, does he deserve COY for doing a little extra to save his skin? Not a chance. Marvin Lewis is doing the same thing, I wouldn’t consider him a COY candidate either. I’d take Caldwell (remember the “Indy is toast” chatter when Dungy retired?) or McDaniels (although he has a huge mess to clean up with Marshall’s bellyaching on the sidelines, interesting to see how he handles it)
