Mike Mularkey, What To Expect From The Jaguars New Coach

We've all seen the immediate reaction on new Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Mike Mularkey, including some fans from the Buffalo Bills and Atlanta Falcons chiming in. I decided to ask Dave from SB Nation's Falcons blog The Falcoholic what his thoughts were on the Jacksonville Jaguars new head coach.

Hit the jump to see what he had to say.

Star-divide

Falcons fans the world over poured champagne, fired their guns into the air and generally acted like a bunch of crazy fools when we learned that Mike Mularkey was heading to Jacksonville. You could be forgiven for seeing all that and fearing for the future.

You need not fear. Mularkey's offensive philosophy was becoming a terrible fit for the Falcons, who have dynamic receiving options and an aging, plodding running back. When I look at the Jaguars, I see a terrific fit.

Mularkey is great at developing a young quarterback. I give him a lot of credit for turning Matt Ryan into a top ten passer in today's NFL, and for his emphasis on short, accurate passing. He also gave Michael Turner an insane amount of run, simultaneously turning him into a franchise record holder and wearing him down. It's just that as the team evolved, Mularkey didn't evolve with it.

He's not perfect. In a few years, if your offense develops into something dynamic, you may come to loathe the fact that his offenses seem to turtle in big games. He's also a man who loves control, so expect any OC he hires to be firmly under his thumb. But for now, with Blaine Gabbert needing guidance, receivers to develop, a wonderful weapon in the running game in Maurice Jones-Drew and a good defense he'll probably leave alone entirely, he should be a quality head coach for you.

Good luck.

Great analysis.

I hope he evolves with the team and doesn’t cut MJD’s career too short.

Opinions, opinions, speculation...

I’m not diving onto the bandwagon just yet, but I gotta give the guy a chance. Here are some good points I read last night. Obviously he’s worked with Ryan and helped build the most prolific (highest scoring/yardage) offense Atlanta has seen in in its 46 year existence. Sure he made mistakes on occasion, but he seems like a guy that learns from his. He’s had experience being a HC before, so it won’t be a “learning on the job” sort of deal. That’s going to help with a young team, who needs a leader on the field and in the locker room. I’m by no means putting him into this category, but Belicheck, Dungy and Coughlin were all fired from their previous HC job, and went on to win SB’s with other teams. Mike McCarthy led the second worst offense in the league, in the 49ers, before being named the HC of GB. The 49ers at the time were the 32nd ranked passing offense his last year as OC in San Fran. GB fans were livid with the hire. I know these don’t directly apply to any one coaching candidate, but they are definitely interesting notes and similarities you have to consider. The Jags also need a even keel, no-nonsense guy. Del Rio was schizophrenic by all player accounts. One day buddy buddy, the next day angry anti-player. He eventually lacked the drive and interest to lead our team. Supposedly, Mularkey is chomping at the bit to be a HC again. I’m interested to see how this shakes out, for sure. It’s, clearly, a new era for the Jags. Definitely exciting times.

I think he'll be good

He wasn’t the OC at Atlanta so how much blame can they really put on him for the Falcons choking this season?

The Falcons have been a pretty good team since they got Mularks and Matty Ice. Lets see what he can do with the Gabbster.

by SexonvilleShaguars on Jan 11, 2012 11:15 AM EST reply actions  

As I said last night

A QB who chokes in the playoffs didn’t make Tony Dungy a bad coach. The Falcons have had a pretty good record – including first in the league last year, and our defense is better than theirs.

by Mr.Awesome on Jan 11, 2012 11:27 AM EST up reply actions  

As I said, the big beef we had with him was his inability to get the offense going in big games

The zero bomb against the Giants and a weak sauce performance against the Saints, neither of whom have great defenses, was really what soured us.

But that’s not a worry you guys are going to have this next season. I think he’ll help improve your O dramatically, and I like the hire for you guys. As a guy with a soft spot for the Jaguars, I’m glad to see it.

I doubt Belichick is the only example of a guy who succeeded at his second job in NFL history.

The point is, it’s so tiresome that fans like yourself are already pissing and moaning about Mularkey, and the guy hasn’t even sat in his office yet. I’m so sick of my fellow Jaguar fans and their “whoa is me, the sky is falling” attitude. Let me guess, you aren’t going to buy season tickets now.
Give the guy a chance, for crying out loud.

im speaking for myself but i think he has the mindset which many jags fans that arent on this site

losing sucks and we lose all the time with gene smith at the helm. he hires and drafts “solid” guys and sets expectations low. then once we lose 11 games it doesnt seem to bad. but the whole point of playing football is to win superbowls and hires like this make most fans believe he isnt going to be able to get there.

i am also tired of hearing every jags fan say after EVERY season, oh lets wait for next year, we will be better. We have all been waiting for the playoffs the past 3 years and we arent any closer and im tired of waiting personally and so should everybody here

the wait and see strategy hasnt worked out yet and we will know for a fact next year(because we will have to wait and see) whether it does work if gabbert plays well and if we are pushing to make the playoffs

I hear that, and I agree. We all want to win and make the playoffs!

I just get so fed up with this constant negativity (I know you are always on here, and not always negative, I mean in general) from our fellow fans. Every week I sit at EverBank and hear people bash Rashean – our only All Pro for years, then they bash Koetter, then they bash Monroe, then they bash Gabbert, last year they bashed Tucker…it never ends. As fans we have little to no input into what happens.
Do these people think Gene wants to lose? Of course he doesn’t, he wants to win. He knows about football, and he feels Mularkey is the best candidate for this team as currently – and I’m sure, for at least the next 3 years – is constructed.
Let’s just be happy we have a coach and give him our support. Our team needs our support.

ill admit that but its because i dont like the way this organization is run and the low expectations that the fans have. we should be competing for the playoffs every year no if ands or butts about it
i agree the drunken fans get out of control but they hold the same sentiment; losing sucks and we do it a whole lot and theyre frustrated
gene doesnt know how to win or put together a winner and until he does i will not believe that he can. if next year we are 10-6 ill shut my mouth but if we are “oh we always have next year” im going to go nuts. next year was two years ago and im tired of seeing crap on the field

youll get alot more patient fans when we win. like the saying goes winning cures everything. i just hope that winning comes soon

Seriously?

There isn’t one team in this league that hasn’t suffered through times that we’re going through. This is the NFL and it’s bound to happen eventually. Look at all the good teams right now. All of them suffered through rough patches to only rebound and experience their current period of success. It won’t last forever for them and once the decline begins, it’ll probably happen swiftly and it’ll take them a while to return to become one of the better teams in the league. Anyone who says the Jaguar aren’t on their way to becoming a perennial playoff team is deluding themselves and fact is, Gene will be the orchestrator behind it. I don’t believe in blind faith but I believe to the utmost Gene is doing the right things for this team. Expecting every decision he makes to be perfect isn’t realistic but as long as the good ways out the bad and this team continues to get better, then that’s what’s most important. If you really don’t think this team has a better pool of talent since he took over the personnel decision, then I really don’t know what to tell you.

Not trying to beat you to death with semantics, but the record of the team in the past 3 seasons is 7-9, 8-8, and 5-11. ’09 and ’10 we were mathematically alive in Week 17. 2009 we were 7-5 then went on a 4 game losing streak to close out and in 2010 we were 8-5 with a chance to clinch the division with a win at Indy and then lost 3 straight. This year the bottom fell out early.

A few teams would love that.

I really think that everyone was kinda disappointed with the crop of coaches that we were looking at

Me Im excited we went with Mularky he got Matt Ryan to the point where he is and he has had the Falcons offense as a top 10 offense in this league for the last 4 years. Now the personnel in Jacksonville is obviously different than the one in Atlanta…if we could even get one playmaker on our offense at WR we could have a better offense than Atlanta…now that is assuming that Gabbert comes out next year a large leap better than he was this season with a whole TC behind him. I mean I would go as far as possibly hiring Gabbert a mentor like Steve Young did with Michael Vick early in his career…I mean you always hear about this with young QBs well known retired QBs sorta taking them under there wing…But I think Mularky is a good signing Im excited to see who else he brings in and if he is going to continue to call the plays for offense or is he going to bring in a offensive coordinator

Sheffler is right

I really hope Mularkey can help salvage the career of a guy that has played one season.

Dude

my internet at work sucks apparently and it keeps freezing. I haven’t heard a word they’ve said. Somebody please transcribe the key points for me… I’m anxious here.

I wonder if it is an HD feed or something.

Think he sticks with Gabbert ?

Or drafts a new QB to push him ?

Option 1

I am almost sure it was a pre-requisite to taking the job. BTW GM Gene Smith does the drafting. He picked Gabbert…

by CheapSeat on Jan 11, 2012 3:28 PM EST up reply actions  

That was part of the deal when we got Kubiak.

He had to agree to stick with David “mitttens” Carr.

When he was interviewed by Gene and Khan

he sold/convinced them HARD that be could develop Gabbert

by Jags85 on Jan 11, 2012 3:43 PM EST via mobile up reply actions  

I don't know that for a fact

but I imagine that it was a selling point.

by Ewdtrey on Jan 11, 2012 3:56 PM EST up reply actions  

Well hes a confident guy

And hes not going to go into this interview all nonchalant saying “ya, I’m pretty sure I can develop him, I think hes got the tools. Ya, just maybe I can.” Anyone going into any interview is going to sell that hes the man for the job and they can get it done. And when I say “sell or convince”, I dont mean that hes trying to B.S. his way through the interview to get the job.
