Jaguars Request Permission To Interview Mike Mularky, According To Report

PrintThe Jacksonville Jaguars have requested permission from the Atlanta Falcons to interview offensive coordinator Mike Mularkey for their head coaching vacancy, Jason La Canfora of the NFL Network reports. Mularky is the current offensive coordinator of the playoff bound Atlanta Falcons. The Falcons play the New York Giants this weekend in the NFC playoffs, so it is uncertain of the Falcons would want their offensive coordinator to be focusing on an interview instead of game planning for the playoffs. This request isn't much of a surprise as Mularky has experience grooming QBs and his son is on the Jaguars scouting staff.
This wouldn't be the first head coaching position for Mularkey however, as he was the head coach of the Buffalo Bills from 2004 to 2005. Mularkey started his first season as the Bills head coach 0-4 but the team rallied to finish 9-7. On that season, the Bills were 7th overall in total offense. Mularkey's second season saw the Bills finish 5-11 while going through a quarterback controversy between J.P. Losman and Kelley Holcomb. Mularkey resigned after the 2005 season, citing a disagreement in the direction of the team with newly hired manager Marv Levy.
After the Bills head coaching job, Mularkey moved on to be the offensive coordinator of the Miami Dolphins under Nick Saban for the 2006 NFL season and then was moved to tight ends coach for the 2007 season when Cam Cameron was hired as the Dolphins head coach. After the 2007 season, Mularkey was released from his position with the rest of the Dolphins coaches.

yea seriously...
interviewing the WRONG guy… I’d rather stick with Tucker. (and honestly I don’t really want Tucker)
Were the bills fan on here saying he was a horrible head coach?

Why don't we hire this guy as the OC
And hire someone else as coach lol

becasue he is an OC already
and is likely not going to make a horizontal move from Atlanta to Jacksonville

Im thinking the same thing….LOL..I don’t think the fan base wants him as the HC….I’d rather them interview Jeff Fisher, Jay Gruden, Mel Tucker, Bill Cowher, in that order….
fisher, no; gruden, NO; tucker, YES: cowher, no.
don’t want either fisher or chuckie.
cowher doesn’t want to coach now.
I think Tucker can do the job.

He also coached the Steelers
from 1996 to 2003
Tight ends coach 96-00
Offensive coordinator 01-03

I would take Spags as a DC
that dude is a ridiculously good one. Give him a unit like the one in Jacksonville, and barring catastrophic injury, this unit could be elite

So we can a coach who is full of sh## only to interview someone's who's last name means the same thing!!!
I hate to say it but I agree with Taylor… what about Fisher!!!
I think Mel is our guy but that's just me.
The HC doesn’t need to be an offensive genius. He just needs to be a leader and be able to assemble a great staff.
HC: Mel Tucker
DC: Mel Tucker
OC: Norv Turner
Get some WRs. Bolster offense in FA. Give Gabbert a full offseason. Cut some baggage. Draft some impact players now that we have the lines more or less stabilized although RT concerns me (hope Britton can be back….Bradfield looked good). 11-5. Division Champs. Playoffs!
really not so sure a HC/DC is in the best interest of this team
better off with a seperate DC and HC

does not mean it is the ideal

Didn't work out too well with Del Rio
That’s how we got Tucker Right?
save your attitude i got one of my own
What is this lovable affair with Britton
The guy us garbage and needs to be released. He can’t play at this level and literally cannot pay because he’s a chronic injury with legs. Let’s draft a proper talent. – oh wait, Gene’s doing the drafting, nevermind.

I like that as well
But they would name a DC, even if Tucker called the plays

Wow
there seems to be a lot of disdain for Mularky, but I wouldn’t mind him as the next HC.
Respect My Authoritah
Agreed
Look at what he has done in Atlanta when he first arrived with a rookie QB in Ryan. He runs a balanced offense and I think he would be great in coaching up Blaine. In Buffalo he was given an ultimatum to fire several of his coaches and he choose not too. He showed loyalty to his coaches which is the opposite of Jack.
Also, the Jags have asked for permission to interview Chudzinski from Carolina.
In what way did he not show loyalty?

No, How did JDR not show loyalty?

How Dirk under the bus during press conferences this year?
How many coordinators did he fire?
It was reported a couple of years ago that any coaching changes had to be run past Weaver since Jack was churning through them so quickly.
Lol
He stated what happened during a part of a game and thats throwing him under the bus, wow.
Coaches fire coordinators all the time, given our offensive situation the last decade it shouldn’t be a surprise. No HC is going to stick with a guy that he feels isn’t getting it done just to be “loyal”. Its a business.

My dream scenario is
Pete Carmicheal Jr-HC
Norv-OC
Spags-DC

you guys are judhing him off of his name.
he has full control of atlantas offense. the same one that has a great running game and a dynamic passing attack with deepthreat recievers. i would welcome him as a hc. he had relationship issues with the gm in buffalo and still had them with a 7th ranked offense. i like the guy and if his name were something other than mularkey so would u all
no
no we wouldnt. to assume everybody that dislikes him is dumb enough to judge his performance by his name is wrong. he was a bad head coach. great coordinator but bad head coach
Cold Blooded
im a bills fan along with a jags fan
and mularky was a terrible head coach. great coordinator but terrible head coach. he is like wade phillips. would be a terrible move to hire him
Cold Blooded
I become sad when I see people's coaching choices and Tucker is nowhere to be seen
this organization will make a big mistake if they don’t keep him, either as HC or DC.

Mularky
I wouldn’t mind him at all. Belichek completely failed in his first head coaching stint as well. I like guys who have experience to pull from, even if it’s things that they learned not to do.
I like this guy, I really do. I just want to know who he would bring in with him.
