Del Rio Says Dirk Koetter Didn't Want A Timeout

Photo

The Jacksonville Jaguars had themselves in a situation against the Houston Texans late, where if they converted a 4th-and-2 it's possible the drive could have continued with a chance to tie the football game. Luke McCown and the Jaguars offense rushed to the line, in lieu of calling a time out, and got a play off. The pass from McCown fell incomplete and the Texans were able to kneel the clock out. Many fans in the stands, on Twitter, and in the comments post game wondered why the Jaguars didn't call a time out in that situation and instead chose to rush a play off on such a critical down.

Dirk Koetter didn't want to call a timeout, apparently.

"I asked [offensive coordinator] Dirk [Koetter] do you want a timeout there and he said no. That's why," Del Rio said after the game. This once again looks like Del Rio quasi-throwing someone else under the bus, but he wasn't. I'm told however, that Koetter in fact did not want a timeout on the play. Koetter had caught the Texans defense in "zero" coverage and a time out would have let them adjust. Koetter was trying to catch them in "zero" coverage, but the play simply wasn't executed.

So, let me see if I have this straight...

Mel Tucker took over calling every defensive play this season, and Koetter tells JDR what happens on offesnse?
So, why is JDR here again?

Who is he throwing under the bus ?

Koetter calls the plays. It makes sense that the guy calling the plays is in the best position to know when he wants a timeout or not.

dirk koetter

where have you been?
and he coulda just said. im the head coach i should have called a timeout cuz im in charge of this team and knows whats best for it.
but instead he just says anything negative to do with the offense is dirks fault

That's the point you're missing

It’s not an automatic position to call a time out. Obviously there’s a reason Dirk didn’t want one.

When a play fails there are a million reasons you can speculate as to why but just because the play failed doesn’t mean it would’ve worked had a time out been called.

by pksiv on Nov 28, 2011 5:18 PM EST up reply actions  

this isnt the first time this has happened though

he has called him out multiple times this year. that shows me that he is just trying to throw his OC under the bus because he is desperate. a cowardly move

Cold Blooded

by Jaggaholic82 on Nov 28, 2011 5:19 PM EST up reply actions  

So let's get this straight.

Del Rio lets the OC decide whether to take a timeout when the offense is on the field, and that means he’s throwing Koetter under the bus? Would you rather he deflects questions instead of answering them honestly? Being a great HC is about delegating power effectively. Koetter didn’t want a time out so they didn’t take one.

by Shane Clemons on Nov 28, 2011 6:55 PM EST up reply actions  

let me just ask you this. if they took a timeout and it worked out for the jags, in his presser would JDR have gone out of his way to credit koetter with the decision to call a timeout? ima guess not
but it didnt work out and hes going out of his way to put the responsibility of the offenses bad decisions(not running mjd, clock management a couple weeks back and this week) solely on koetter
if you dont see that you are blind

Cold Blooded

by Jaggaholic82 on Nov 28, 2011 7:14 PM EST up reply actions  

but honestly this particular situation isnt what i have a problem with

letting koetter try to catch the texans with no safeties would have been fine if time wasnt a time constraint

i just have a problem that our HEAD COACH constantly says our OC has a massive amount of power when JDR could make the critical decisions. i just think its a cop out and a way for JDR to try to save face in front of WW

Cold Blooded

by Jaggaholic82 on Nov 28, 2011 7:23 PM EST up reply actions  

Actually it makes sense

Koetter would have a better view of the field from the box, so if Dirk sees a favorable defense, he would want to take advantage of that. The problem is neither Dirk nor Jack realize we have the worst offensive unit in the NFL and asking them to preform anything other than a handoff to MJD is difficult and sometimes problematic.

by Bryqan on Nov 28, 2011 12:15 PM EST reply actions  

I agree that it makes sense

He has an OC who is orchestrating a drive and is in the flow of things. The HC is the CEO, not the line Manager. Of course he can always over rule the OC but in this instance maybe Dirk felt he had a favorable match up and calling a Time out would allow the Texans a chance to substitute.

It obviously didn’t work but I can see acceptable logic in JDR asking Dirk what he wanted.

Really doesn’t matter since they’re all gone anyway.

I'm pretty sure nobody gets fired

at FedEx, UPS, Delta, United etc… every time they lose a package or someone’s luggage.

The point is, the guy calling the plays is in the flow of the game. The HC, unless he’s also and active Offensive guy, is right to ask. It didn’t work. A lot of things with this offense don’t work.

If anything this is further evidence that JDR isn’t holding Dirk Koetter back. If there’s one thing holding him back right now it’s talent. But it’s still going to be new coaches all around next year.

All it is is bloodletting.

You have to pay him either way. He hasn’t lost the team. That’s why coaches get fired mid-season, because they lose the players. Del Rio hasn’t lost that.

What good would firing him do now? Sell some tickets for Monday? Then what happens when you lose on Monday?

I see your point, and it’s a shame that Jax is the poster child for attendance issues. But, it is what it is.

Hell, in Cincy, they have a damn good team who is getting quite a few #1s in the next couple of years in a rookie scale era, They have the potential, if they massage their cap number the correct way to be a team on par with the Patriots or Colts of the past 10 years. Fans there play the “I don’t trust Mike Brown” card and the national media is fine with it.

I do, however, think that Del Rio has lost the coaches and it’s on Weaver.

he may not have lost the team per say

but he has lost most fans, coaches, and any respect this team had nationally, i think that is enough to lose. by keeping him til seasons end i see nothing to gain at all, and only more to lose, and i think the players would benefit more from him being gone, not to mention, the fans would definately buy more tickets just to show support for doing the right thing

by CoachCowherPlease on Nov 28, 2011 1:55 PM EST up reply actions  

You just made Alfie’s point. Firing him is about the fans. Keeping him is about the good of the team, which most certainly is still listening to him. National respect? Firing your coach midseason doesn’t get you respect. Winning gets you respect, and this team isn’t going to be a winning team this season no matter who’s the head coach.

by Alfie Crow on Nov 28, 2011 2:03 PM EST up reply actions  

Honestly

I feel he pulled gabbert wrongly, he and keotter obviously don’t see eye to eye, every week we are progressively looking worse offensively, the players are getting down on themselves, blaine, who is capable, is now going to be pressing in fear of being yanked out again. and not only would fans buy mondays game, but like i said without a doubt more tickets for each of the remaining games.. and i am not all that sure that he hasn’t lost the confidence of his players, these are not the type of guys to speak out, because they are nobodies in this league, besides mojo, and that would not look good on their resume. And maybe they would run more of an offense geared toward gabberts strengths rather than this predictable boring unproductive offense we are now running, it has worked for other rookies, but he expected blaine to do it his way in order to save his job, which leads to the pressure the players feel knowing his job is on the line when they take the field.

It was almost an identical play as the end of the game agst Cleveland. Mike Thomas and his short arse over the middle getting the opportunity to go up high and make a play.

Lets see....

Singletary gone and threw OC under the bus…Reid most likely gone and did not throw OC under the bus. Two approaches with the same conclusion. Common thread, both teams are not (were not) winning. I can not imagine being a head coach, or leader of any organization, and not having supreme decision making authority. That being said, if JDR wanted a time out, then he should have taken the time out. If he does not call one, then he in a sense agrees with Koetter and should not have said anything. I guess my questions is does JDR have final decision authority?

by GAJAGFAN on Nov 28, 2011 12:50 PM EST up reply actions

and the OC is calling the plays

so has the best idea of his thought process and when he’ll want to use them.

Ultimately, the record falls on JDR but trusting his OC when he wants to call time outs at the end of the game actually makes sense to me.

If the system is set up for that call to be the responsibility of Koetter, then there is no reason for JDR To state it any other way. The fact of the matter is that I do not know who has what responsibility for what. Please do not take this as a defense of JDR across the board, but I am not going to lay something on him that is not his fault.

just seems like a natural thing for a defensive minded coach to do.

If he’s usually not involved with the offense, it makes sense to ask the OC things, just in case. I think other defensive-minded coachesa around the league are just more discreet, whereas JDR just is telling it like it is.

I understand....

and I have no problem with other bills coming in front of the cost of tickets. That being said, the fact remains that is the area can not support the team through ticket sales, them maybe it is not the right area for a team. It would sadden me if I Jags left the area.

the case can be made in Cincy, Tampa, Miami, KC looked less than full last night, San Diego, Oakland, etc.

I think Jax is a great spot, but Weaver was so timid in the early going that he felt the fanbase could be cultivated within the 4 county area. I made the point earlier that the Jags radio network only goes as far west as Valdosta. That’s awful.

Who started this Mark Duffner as interim HC rumor?

Anything to it? Curious as to where it originated…if anyone has info.

by CheapSeat on Nov 28, 2011 12:55 PM EST reply actions  

I think it was more a product of process of elimination

If Shula were still here, he might have been the guy.

I don't know...

but I will be calling him “Duff Man” if he gets the job.
Actually, I will call him that even if he doesn’t…its just that no one will notice if I call the LB coach by a funny name.

ugh

So many terrible decisions by this staff. Where is Kassim Osgood ad WR? Is he terrible? I haven’t even seen them give him an attempt. I may be wrong. Just a thought.

I do not care what really went down

the fact that JDR says he asked his OC whether to take the TO or not indicates to me the JDR is a very poor HC.

Blah blah

Del Rio are you ever going to take any of the blame?

by TheAsianIdiot on Nov 28, 2011 1:53 PM EST reply actions  

When the offense wasn't executing early..

Everyone bashed him and said he was holding back koetter.. Now he defers to his OC to make an offensive call, they don’t execute and you blame him again…

by Sylvester.The.Jaguar.fan on Nov 28, 2011 3:28 PM EST via mobile reply actions  

Actually, this pointed out Del Rio wasn’t throwing Koetter under the bus here. Did you read what was written, or just go right to the comments?

by Alfie Crow on Nov 28, 2011 3:30 PM EST up reply actions  

My bad

I didnt mean you. I meant the fire del rio mob.

by Sylvester.The.Jaguar.fan on Nov 28, 2011 3:46 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Based on most of the comments

I don’t think anyone else read it either. I know I stopped after reading “Dirk Koetter didn’t want to call a timeout, apparently.” you’re usual style is to bash everyone so I assumed that’s where you were going.

Funny thing is, in the comments I’m defending exactly what you explained in that last paragraph…. Smh.

Well, great job assuming and willfully being ignorant.

Maybe you should read. It would really help out.

Good game Jags.

Have to put our faith in TJ Yates for the playoffs, scary…

I got a suggestion assuming that JDR isn’t fired by tonight or 1st thing in the morning…..Everyone to wear white shirts to the MNF game in protest of JDR not being fired!

After a good nap this afternoon, I've come to accept that short of a mutiny, JDR is here til after the Colts game

Some coaches may go before then, but JDR is here for the remainder of the year. My Christmas list for the Jags in 2012:

Eagles fire Reid, we pick him up and bring in Jeff Fisher as defensive coordinator. I can’t see anyone on the staff staying which is a shame because I’d like to see Purnell, Cullen, Heck, Byner and Duffner stay

I don’t know what else we can do as a fans….putting paper bags over our heads, I think would be asking too much…..personally I’m not looking forward to attending the game knowing that JDR will still be standing on the sidelines, but if there is any way to show my displeasure for him not being FIRED I’m wit it.

Look dont bite my head off for this suggestion.

I think the eagles are going to fire Andy Reid soon. Do u guys think he is good solution for our next coach? Dont get me wrong his team is bad now but this guy is a winner and he seems to be good with young qbs. He couldn’t do any worst than Jack and his offenses are usually pretty good.

this guy is a winner

Yea

He has a whole lot of playoff appearances and playoff wins. He has been to the nfc championship game alot nd one superbowl appearance but we all know they lose. He is an ok coach but does make some dumb coaching mistakes but what coach is perfect. Out of all I said the part u read was he is a winner.

by Marshall856 on Nov 29, 2011 12:04 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

Ask an Eagles fan how great of a coach he is.

Actually, ask Philly’s opponents’ fans how great of a coach he is. He was very fortunate to have a great DC for years, and the stars aligned for him in 2004 (yeah, that NFC championship season was that long ago) the way they aligned for JDR in 2007, but otherwise he makes maddening coaching decisions and his teams underachieve.

I like to watch.

My whole family are eagles fans.

Sometimes they love him and sometimes they hate him. Ive been a jags fan my whole life but since I live in NJ I am forced to hear about the eagles. If he is fired because the eagles may not even do that Andy reid is a better coach than jack del rio so he would be an upgrade but don’t get me wrong if we find can a better then I’m for that.

by Marshall856 on Nov 29, 2011 1:38 AM EST via mobile up reply actions  

he would be an UPGRADE but I would like to have a new GM also meaning that Andy does not come in with that title
